Nice (old-ish) post by Ryan O'Connor on emergent capabilities in LLMs. I particularly liked this passage:

"It would be useful to have an epistemological hierarchy of tasks, in which salient and measurable abilities are identified and listed as a required antecedent to more complicated tasks which utilize them. Such a hierarchy may help us begin to predict at what scale some emergent abilities may occur, or at least provide an ordering on the set."
