The opposite is true as well. Emergent complexity isn’t limitless. Just like early physicists tried to explain the emergent complexity of the universe through experimentation and theory, so should we try to explain the emergent complexity of LLMs through experimentation and theory.

Specifically not pseudoscience, though.

Physicists had the real world to verify theories and explanations against.

So far anyone 'explaining the emergent complexity of LLMs through experimentation and theory' is essentially just making stuff up nobody can verify.

Sure, that's true as well. But I don't see this as a substantive response given that the only people making unsupported claims in this thread are those trying to deflate LLM capabilities.
