If the transistor arrives in 1920 instead of 1947, you don't just get the iPhone 27 years early. You change WWII, you change who wins the peace, and you get the Information Age before television has even matured. Here’s the most plausible trace, with the caveat that invention is not production.

The Skeptical Software Engineer Yes, at inference time an LLM really is just "predict the next token, repeat" — a deterministic function (plus sampling noise) that maps a sequence of tokens to a probability distribution.

1. For the experienced software engineer Think of training not as writing business logic, but as building a lossy compression of the internet into a queryable API. Raw text is first serialized into tokens — roughly 3/4 of a word chunks, the way you'd chunk a byte stream for protobuf.
