I don't think it's a coincidence that he is interested in non-LLM solutions, since he mentioned last year on Twitter that he doesn't have an internal monologue (I hope this is not taken as disparaging of him in any way). His

I'd recommend looking for other sources of information if you're relying on someone who co-authored the paper that introduced the most misleading and uninformed term of the LLM era: "stochastic parrot".

If we can match our existing intelligence (but it’s a jagged border of capabilities), our progress in creating superintelligence won’t matter because we won’t be the ones making it.

Old roulette wheels had large flaws, even in the 1960s: https://thehustle.co/professor-who-beat-roulette . 30 years earlier they must have been worse. So there is a chance he noticed some anomaly that he tried to exploit.

> Are there tests for aphantasia? Sure, they are usually something like “imagine an apple on a table” and then some questions about it like its color. There are also fMRI neural signatures. Aphantasia is also often linked with SDAM (Seve
