I struggle to imagine the inner life of someone who would say this.

when I was young we used to play lots of poker with my colleague mates, one day one of my friend said "any of yall seeing the cards before you sleep?"

I think that's whats happening with some of yall, seeing tokens every day in the screen then thinking you're just an llm as well.

Same! I do think a vast majority of tasks are essentially next token prediction, but that's why I'm thinking that long, creative thinking periods will be what's actually valuable/rare.
