Couldn't agree more. Your insights on Grok's capabilities for math and physics are truly fasinating. It makes me wonder about its connection to downward causation, which you mentioned. Are we seeing emergent properties here, or something more profound? Such intriguing food for thought!
In "Irrational mechanics" I argue that Grok & its LLM friends manifest universal downward causation just like us and have emergent properties just like us. Math is "easy" though. To me, the real Turing test will be passed once AI-powered humanoid robots, physically indistinguishable from humans, are able to pass for humans in any situation that involves social and physical interactions (say, first date & sex). We still have to wait a while for that, but it will come!
