this is not a belief. it is a fact. Doing the same thing in a higher dimensional space is still doing the same thing.
I find it a fascinating alternative view to what is largely well understood (your counter-point).
The thing that stood out is the comment that it’s an approximation of the original data generator (humanity). Early approximations were poor (GPT 2-3, to an extent GPT-4).
I’m not so sure I can reject the hypothesis that such an approximation can be found.
