This type of research should put the "do LLMs think" to rest, not to mention the ludicrous claim of consciousness cough Dawkins cough. It is quite clearly a pattern matching algorithm at scale.

It's still narrow AI but massively scaled to look like general AI.

Imagine a world where the human-in-the-loop was deemed to inefficient, and code does not get reviewed anymore. The next generation of worms just need to spread into the data centers that host these models and flip neurons. Would be a pretty cool supply chain hack.
