@codinghorror “Imagine you have two machines. One you can open up and examine all of its workings, and if you give it every picture of a cat on the whole internet, it can reliably distinguish cats from non-cats. The other is a black box and it can also reliably distinguish cats from non-cats if you give it half a dozen pictures of cats, some apple sauce, and a hug. These machines sort of do the same thing, but even without knowing how the second one works I am extremely confident in saying it doesn’t work the same way as the first one.”

Thank you - still reading. But, this:

" Andrej Karpathy recently implemented a fully functional large language model in 200 lines of Python code. He also wrote a detailed explanation of exactly what it does, how it works, and the ways it differs from big company frontier models, which are all just differences of scale and efficiency."
