I do not 100% agree with everything Alison Gopnik ever says but the way I was grumpily muttering, a year ago, that people were critiquing LLMs wrong, and should be thinking more about children, and cultural transmission, and feedback loops, and then Gopnik popped up and did all of that far more clearly than I was even imagining, and with way more intellectual grounding – it’s been very satisfying, thank you.
