> emergent behavior in this context is defined as: "emergent abilities, which we define as abilities that are not present in small models but are present in larger models"

Then I don't know why you brought up Game of Life because it obviously has nothing to do with this alternative definition of emergent behavior.

It's meaningful with respect to the claim that LLMs exhibit emergent behavior in the same way in which Game of Life does.

I said it's amazing in __similar__ ways to Conway's Game of Life.

i.e. a system which behaves in unexpected ways (emergent abilities) and is greater than the sum of its parts.
