Synergetics and Large Language Models: Emergence, Order, and Self‑Organization
Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT-4, Grok and Claude have revealed striking behaviors that seem to emerge as these models grow in scale. Certain abilities – from arithmetic and translation to common-sense reasoning – appear suddenly when the model’s size or training reaches a critical threshold, rather than improving smoothly from smaller models. This…

From Butlerian Jihad to GPT-4: Are We Rewriting Dune’s Cautionary Tale?
In Frank Herbert’s seminal science fiction epic Dune, the backdrop of galactic politics, mysticism, and ecological struggle is haunted by the shadow of an ancient war: the Butlerian Jihad. Thousands of years before the events of the novel, humanity waged a ferocious battle against intelligent machines—sentient computers and AI systems that had, in Herbert’s vision,…

Maybe you’re asking about your secret crush, your wildest dreams, or how to erase that questionable browser history (we’re not judging). You hit “delete,” thinking it’s gone forever, like a bad dating…

The Future of AI: How Self-Adapting Language Models Are Redefining Learning
Imagine a world where artificial intelligence doesn’t just follow instructions but learns to improve itself, much like a human student rewriting notes to ace an exam. This vision is becoming reality with the advent of Self-Adapting Large Language Models (SEAL), a groundbreaking framework introduced in a recent paper by researchers from MIT’s Improbable AI Lab.…
