How do AI models actually work? | Emmanuel Ameisen (Anthropic)

Why it matters

Emmanuel Ameisen explains why AI models use next-token prediction, arguing that predicting difficult text-such as a PhD thesis conclusion or a complex physics solution-can require something like understanding the world. The description contrasts this process with software built from deliberately written rules.

Discuss: How does the next-token prediction examples in the description support Ameisen's idea that AI models may develop something like an understanding of the world?
