Think how awesome the world would be if labels ALSO had meanings.

As someone else said in another thread, if you could derive the definition from a word, the word would be as long as the definition, which would defeat the purpose.

Im not saying words. Im saying labels.

You use words as labels so that we use our pre existing knowledge of the word to derive meaning from the label.

There is no such thing. "Meaning" isn't a property of a label, it arises from how that label is used with other labels in communication.

It's actually the reason LLMs work in the first place.

You're gonna need to ground those labels in something physical at some point.

No one's going to let an LLM near anything important until then.

You only need it for bootstrapping. Fortunately, we've already done that when we invented first languages. LLMs are just bootstrapping off us.
