Speaking of "Generative autoregressive models are similators", https://dmm.dreamwidth.org/64434.html

Three main directions of thoughts here are:

* How this can be used to control model's behavior better (or to train models better)

* What can happen inside those models (e.g. is it true that the most interesting and consequential things in the AI development will soon be happening INSIDE simulations which unfold when one is running those kinds of models or their successors?)

* Philosophy: how might this new "Janus' paradigm" illuminate the nature of "our reality"

Also, the sociology of this is interesting. How fast and wide the knowledge of this new way of thinking about GPT-3-like models would spread, and how much of short-to-medium-term impact on the AI development trajectory it would have?
