Over the past week or so I realized I have been thinking about LLMs incorrectly. I had considered them to be their own "things" that will let us do "stuff" Instead, LLMs are components of "things" that will "collectively" let us reimagine e stuff My colleague @mandel wrote about this last November (https://matthewmandel.com/2024/11/20/collaborative-intelligence/) but I didn't fully grok it until the other day (and then it lit my chaotic curiosity on fire)
