Compression is the reason why these Models are able to learn and understand.
My brain is doing the exact same thing.
I learned enough to compress concepts like a bike and what a bike does and for what i can use a bike.
Ask a LLM and it will answer you similiar to humans.
Blind people learn concepts of bikes too and in a smiliar way: by description.
LLMs just have so much data in form of text available and are able to ingest all of this, that the LLM compression algorithm doesn't has to be that good/finetuned than ours.
But I would assume that Yann LeCun's JEPA or other breakthroughs in the next few years will get us there.
