How many digital minds can dance on the streaming multiprocessors of a GPU cluster?

Some of the technical details of the implementation of modern AI systems raise novel questions about computational functionalism. In particular, GPU clusters processing large language models often interweave the computations for many different chat responses. If the computations underlying these lan...
