emergent behavior in this context is defined as: "emergent abilities, which we define as abilities that are not present in small models but are present in larger models"
>The emergent behavior of Conway's Game of Life arises purely out of the simple rules upon which the simulation proceeds -- a fundamental difference.
this is a meaningless distinction.
Then I don't know why you brought up Game of Life because it obviously has nothing to do with this alternative definition of emergent behavior.
> this is a meaningless distinction.
It's meaningful with respect to the claim that LLMs exhibit emergent behavior in the same way in which Game of Life does.
I said it's amazing in __similar__ ways to Conway's Game of Life.
i.e. a system which behaves in unexpected ways (emergent abilities) and is greater than the sum of its parts.
