Memory and Intelligence in LLM

Intelligence as shown by LLMs is interesting. Here by memory I mean “context window size” though they are not equivalent. And by “Intelligence” I don’t mean human intelligence which jumps into metaphysical debates. Perhaps “cognitive ability” to solve a task at hand is reasonable narrow definition.

But Bitcoin, by its very nature, cannot promise any of these things. Those who say otherwise are wrong. What are we investing in if it is not any of the above?
