Right. One of the most remarkable side effects of the recent advances in AI has been a swath of the tech industry bleating desperately in unison that whatever an ML model might do, it isn't "real" intelligence because humans are magic and, since tensors don't have that magic, AI can't "really" think.

In fact, it is quite hilarious that in the last 5 years the go-to criticism of state-of-the art AI has switched from "It can only do one specfic thing very well!" to "It can't do any specific thing very well!".

We have really struck a goldmine with unsupervised LLMs. While before the range of forms of intelligence we could cover only contained high performance "specific" intelligence, we now finally have an outpost in low performance "general" intelligence.

All we have to do is perform a pincer movement! Any data is tokens, any models can be interfaced.

I predict models will be trained on DNS-Server data streams.
