> world model

Another linguistic devastation. A "world model" is in epistemology the content of a representation of states of thing - all states of things, facts and logic.

This use of the expression "world model" seems to be a reduction. An that's too bad, because we needed the idea in its good form to speak about what neural networks contain, in this LLM sub-era.

Like the new widespread sloppy use of the expression "AI", this does not contribute to collective mental clarity.
