Large Language Models are not Inventions, They're Discoveries.

LLMs like represent more of a discovery than an invention according to Jeff Bezos.

In his recent conversation with Lex Friedman, Bezos likened LLM development to Galileo's discovery of Jupiter's moons through the telescope - we now see unexpected capabilities emerge from language models, just as Galileo was surprised to find moons in the night sky.

The behavior of large language models is less like an engineered product, such as a Boeing 787, whose every behavior is predictable and designed, and more like a journey filled with unexpected findings.

These AI systems are not entirely within the realm of engineered certainty; they generate constant surprises through their capabilities, which we are only beginning to understand.Using such powerful technologies without proper visibility and control is akin to navigating uncharted waters without a compass or a map.
