   Ha Ha Ha - SO true there :-)

   Anyway, as I say elsewhere, LLMs are just PART of
   'intelligence'. OTHER parts need to be spliced in.
   Brains are just WEIRD ... 600+ million years of
   field-tested neural insanity.

   However, somewhere in there - early - "ME-ism"
   emerged. There's some neat-o trick to that which
   we haven't yet grasped. We're not thinking quite
   right about 'self'. I think THAT is the basic
   paradigm and then you add more IQ and such ONTO it.
