Comment on The Emergent Symbolic Structure of Artificial Neural Networksparent

This shows a deep misunderstanding of the paper's claims, which in no way challenge the established view that these bots are next-token predictors.

No, this shows an appreciation of the symbolic richness behind that token 'prediction' which the paper leads on.

Regardless, if all you want is a next-token selector, save your money and roll a die.

Tell me, where is the emergent symbology guiding that dice?

The paper claims no symbolic richness beyond that evident from the undisputed next-token prediction.

There's none. That's my point.
