LLMS AREN'T WORLD MODELS

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Large language models aren't sufficient as a path to general machine intelligence. They will never manage to deal with large codebases autonomously because they are incapable of forming models about the program. These models will never reliably know what they don't know or stop making things up. They are able to teach students complex curricula and answer expert questions, but they fail at basic novel questions on the same subject because that requires a world model.
