> The tech industry has accidentally invented the initial stages a completely new kind of mind, based on completely unknown principles, using completely unknown processes that have no parallel in the biological world.
This is just false? Language emerged from biology, we've brute forced some version of that model. Knowing that this is a new kind of mind requires that we are able to differentiate these different kinds of minds in the first place.
Generating and mastering language are two very different things. Even the best LLMs still have no ability to understand or work with abstractions.
