Common questions

What is "The edge of the map: what LLMs can't do" about?
Every LLM limit traces back to one fact: it predicts plausible tokens, not truth.
What problem does it solve?
You now know how the whole machine works. So where does it hit a wall, and why, straight from the mechanism?
What will I be able to do after this lesson?
You can name the fundamental limits of LLMs and tie each one to the mechanism that causes it.
What comes next?
