thinking is generally considered an internal process, without input/output (of tokens), though some people decide to output some of that thinking into a more permanent form

I see thinking as less about "timing" and more about a "process"

What this post seems to be describing is more about where attention is paid and what neurons fire for various stimuli

we know so little about thinking and consciousness, these claims seem premature

That one can fix the RNG and get consistent output indicates a lack of dynamics

They certainly do not self update the weights in an online process as needed information is experienced

If we could perfectly simulate the brain and there were quantum hidden variables, we too could “fix RNG and get deterministic output”
