That’s actually exactly my point. You cannot fake it till you make it by using forever larger context windows. You have to map it back to actual system state. Giant context windows might progressively produce the illusion of working due to unfathomable scale, but it’s a terrible tool for the job.

LLMs are not stateful. A chat log is a truly shitty state tracker. An LLM will never be a good agent (beyond a conceivable illusion of unfathomable scale). A simple agent system that uses an LLM for most of its thinking operations could.
