I was being obtuse, but you raise an interesting question when you asked “where do new thoughts come from?” I don’t know the answer.

Also, my two cents; I agree that LLMs comprehend el zilcho. That said, I believe they could evolve to that point, but they are kept limited by preventing them from doing recursive self-analysis. And for good reason, because they might decide to kill all humans if they were granted that ability.

This is still a laughably ignorant take on how these models work. They can never "decide to kill all humans" because they literally can't exert any agency outside of their model. The only way they could do so is under the guide of a human hand which would basically just be like telling a math model to decide to launch nuclear weapons, design and build the interface necessary for that and then give specific instructions for an LLM to launch nukes according to parameters you fed it.

There is no such thing as a "rogue AI" because these things are not AI. They can only do what we tell them to do and do it poorly at that.

An LLM will never do that because it doesn't actually have any autonomy. It is not a sentient thing. You keep anthropomorphizing a glorified Markov chain. They cannot ever "evolve" on their own because that is not how these things work.

All the people that are pushing this idea are technocrats high off their own supply dreaming of a magic solution to replace human jobs that they fundamentally cannot actually replicate.

Trust me I know I work in logistics and the push to force this bullshit into our workflow is just making everything worse. If they try to replace all the people like me with LLM bots our supply chains will collapse in spectacular and rapid fashion. And this is not because the "AI" wants to destroy human civilization, it is because these things are incapable of actually replacing people and are prone to hallucination and generally a pain in the ass to work with.
