The researcher didn't make an LLM, he made a NAND gate, and in theory that could be expanded into an LLM
All computers are just a minimum of three layers of NAND gates
he made more than a NAND gate. he created a 1-bit perceptron and a perceptron-training circuit after figuring out how to make a NAND gate
That is still a long way from an LLM
I see the point that the LLM is closer to a 1bit perceptron then it is to the brain?
