>reliably instruct a dumb-as-bricks CPU

Yeah...a "dumb as bricks CPU", which is obviously something frontier llms are demonstrably not. Like, you're not making any sense here. None of the things that make this possible with CPUs is remotely relevant here, and the fact that you don't seem to understand this but act so smug is strange.

Just as the immense amount of scaffolding around the dumb-as-bricks CPU enables extremely sophisticated and useful things to be done with that pile of fused sand and copper, the immense amount of scaffolding around the dumb-as-bricks LLM enables very sophisticated and useful things to be done with that pile of linear algebra.

Don't confuse the infrastructure that makes the stupid bit in the middle actually useful with the stupid bit in the middle.
