Current AI development is about scaling up, it is no longer about modeling and emulating the mind.

We don't know how the mind works, so they can't do that and never could. Neural networks are superficially similar to how the brain is organized, but the similarity stops there. We know exactly what's happening inside every cell of a neural network. We only have approximations of what happens inside an actual neuron.

I also think it's naive to say that AI researchers "don't know" how modern AI, i.e. transformer models, work.

It's naive to believe otherwise. We don't know how neural networks achieve what they do, and LLMs are built on neural networks, QED we don't know how they work. We know how parts of the system function, but we don't know the most important parts.

you can't separate the models from the applications that use and direct the models

That depends on what you mean. You can't use the model without software that knows what to do with it, but you can use it without adding additional admonitions and tampering with the user's token input... if you're in control of it. That's a good reason not to use AI services, as if anyone needed another one besides stealing all your info.

On Mobile? Try Brave. It's the only browser that for me blocks the most resilient ads here.

I'd pay for a subscription like slashdot used to have if it came with the feature it used to come with (access to full history) but it doesn't even exist any more. But ads are just pissing on your brain.

Transformers made it seem much more human. It was a significant leap forward in the technology. That it doesn't reason doesn't change that.

I don't make any predictions about the speed of development, but I do predict that there will be other significant developments in the future.
