Citation like that means it's a hot topic. Doesn't say anything about the quality of the research. Certainly isn't evidence of lacking bias. And considering everyone wants their AI to be the first one to be aware to some degree, everyone making claims like yours is heavily biased.
I'm sorry dude, but it's been a long day.
You clearly have no idea WTF you are talking about.
The research other than the DeepMind researcher's independent follow-up was all being done at academic institutions, so it wasn't "showing off their model."
The research intentionally uses a toy model to demonstrate the concept in a cleanly interpretable way, to show that transformers are capable and do build tangential world models.
The actual SotA AI models are orders of magnitude larger and fed much more data.
I just don't get why AI on Lemmy has turned into almost the exact same kind of conversations as explaining vaccine research to anti-vaxxers.
It's like people don't actually care about knowing or learning things, just about validating their preexisting feelings about the thing.
Huzzah, you managed to dodge learning anything today. Congratulations!
