Episode: A Terrifying Theory of Language - Dr. Elan Barenholtz, DemystifySci #413
Description: Language doesn't wait for the world, it runs on its own wild current, often generating fictitious meaning from nothing but itself. Our conversation with Professor Elan Barenholtz returns to the ancient question of mind and word, revealing that what we thought was a bridge to reality is really a river with no banks. LLMs didn't invent this untethered intelligence, they held up a mirror to something that was always already there, humming beneath every thought, every name, every half-remembered dream. Tune in and let the structure speak for itself.Part 2: https://youtu.be/txvK99...
