And of course, this is just stage one because you're using an LLM as an input currently.

Jonathan GorardGUEST
I think, I think that's, that's exactly, that's a, that's a more articulate way of saying what I was trying to say.

Jonathan GorardGUEST
That, that, yes, in effect, we're making a bet on something like the, at least the weak Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, right? We're, we're, we're making a bet that, yeah, we, you know, there is limit-- there is some evidence that in humans, language shapes thinking and, uh, and, and, and that the languages that you know shape the, the kinds of thoughts that you are able to have.

Jonathan GorardGUEST
Um, I think Wittgenstein probably said that better than I did, but, you know, that's the, that's the basic i- you know, the, the, the extent of your world is the extent of your, of your, uh, of your linguistic ability to describe it.

Jonathan GorardGUEST
And, uh, I think we, you know, we discussed off air about how there are these, you know, these conlangs, these synthetic human languages that people have developed, uh, that, that where part of the justification has been to see, okay, does this change human cognitive ability? So there was a famous one called Ithkuil that's been around, I think, for, for several decades, but it had this like- relatively recent resurgence in Russia because of some popular science magazines that then got, uh, and, and, and, you know, got, got co-opted by some, by some university students.
