<p>This popular-press article came through my Google News feed
recently which I thought might be useful to the
Journalists/English-Majors on the list to help understand how LLMs
work, etc. When I read it in detail (forwarded from my TS
(TinyScreenPhone) on my LS (Large Screen Laptop)) I found it a bit
more detailed and technical than I'd expected, but nevertheless
rewarding and possibly offering some traction to
Journalism/English majors as well as those with a larger
investment in the CS/Math implied.<br>

<p>... I admit to finding this both intriguing and well over my head
on casual inspection... the (metaphorical?) keywords that drew me
in most strongly included <i>Superposition</i> and <i>Thought
Vectors</i>, though they are (nod to Glen) probably riddled
(heaped, overflowing, bursting, bloated ... ) with excess
meaning.<br>

<p>This leads me (surprise!) to an open ended discursive series of
thoughts probably better left for a separate posting (probably
rendered in a semasiographic language like <a
