Don't trust LLM 'emergence' claims — read 'emergence' as 'training', researcher tells students

- Quoting a thread arguing GPT-6's robotics skills aren't emergent but come from robotics-specific training data (same for GPT-6.1 Sol and Gemini Argon), @rao2z says he tells students to instinctively distrust any 'emergence' claims about LLMs.
- His take: read 'emergence' as 'training' — these heavily-trained models are useful without needing magical phrasing to explain them.
