emergence; rise of scale. Phase transition: fct(compute time for training: nb of params, dataset size)

(12:25) Transformers: the jump when compared to traditional NN: instead on oparating on single input X, operates on a set of inputs. (cf. training to say whether an image contains 2 elements of the same kind). **The aptitude to compare elements in the input sequence enables analogies** - the essence of reasoning.(Classical NN treats one high dimensional vector, tranformers hanlde sets of vectors. Attention layer replaces learned filters W of classical NN by the other elements in the sequence. Attention module compares part of input against other part of input. "Relative machines rather than absolute". Sets are a very powerful level of abstraction)
