In what reality is a character taking up only a few bits ? Certainly isn&amp;#x27;t this one. Your denial is so weird. Why does ICL use Higher-Order Optimization Methods when it&amp;#x27;s just a lookup table ? https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.17086 How do you explain small language models that have much less space than the text they were trained on even with your nonsensical calculations ?
