Un LLM es un tipo de inteligencia artificial entrenada para comprender, generar y manipular lenguaje humano. Se basa en arquitecturas de redes neuronales profundas, específicamente una llamada Transformer, que le permite procesar grandes volúmenes de datos de texto.Aquí están sus componentes clave:Entrenamiento Masivo: Se les expone a cantidades ingentes de texto (libros, artículos, código de programación, conversaciones). Durante este proceso, el modelo aprende los patrones, la gramática, los hechos y hasta ciertos matices del razonamiento humano.Predicción de Tokens: En esencia, un LLM funciona prediciendo la siguiente unidad de texto (llamada token) en una secuencia. Si escribes "El cielo es...", el modelo calcula estadísticamente que la palabra más probable a continuación es "azul".Parámetros: Son las variables internas que el modelo ajusta durante su aprendizaje. Los modelos "grandes" tienen miles de millones de estos parámetros, lo que les permite captar relaciones extremadamente complejas entre las palabras y el contexto.Contexto y Atención: Gracias al mecanismo de "atención", el modelo puede entender la relación entre palabras que están lejos una de otra en un mismo párrafo, permitiéndole mantener la coherencia en textos largos.¿Para qué sirven? Se utilizan para resumir textos, traducir idiomas, escribir código, crear contenido creativo o, como en este caso, mantener una conversación fluida respondiendo preguntas de forma lógica.

The so called 'Platonic Underworld', Dylan's paper 'Receptions of Revelations'
I addressed the so-called 'Dillon’s term'—the 'Underworld of Platonism'—long ago (see my paper 'Ciento cincuenta años de hermetismo', 2010). I took it for a sort of scholarly laziness, perhaps a superiority complex exhibited by an academic elite focused on determining what was worthy of their rational attention and what was not; Dylan's paper addresses this and other topics on the same subject.
I reckon there is indeed an emic-etic combo encapsulating the whole subject in many layers and periods. In the end, we should make a distinction between what we make of the texts from an academic point of view and what the authors themselves may have thought while elaborating them.
Regardless, it is a fact that many (good) scholars have cast their own personal beliefs onto their work; however, it is also a fact that what matters most is whether they have applied a rigorous scientific approach to their commentary.

Platonism and its Legacy. Selected Papers from the Fifteenth Annual Conference of the International Society for Neoplatonic Studies
The book contains a selection of the papers delivered at the annual confer- ence of the International Society for Neoplatonic Studies in Olomouc, Czech Republic, on June 14-17, 2017. The principle of selection reflects the thrust of the whole conference; thirteen papers discuss ancient authors, including the Church Fathers, whereas ten deal with the post-Medieval period. As my com- petence is limited, I shall discuss the papers dealing with ancient theories and make only short notes on the last ten contributions.
Selected paper: "Francesco Patrizi and the Oracles of Zoroaster: The Use of Chaldean Oracles in Nova de universis philosophia", by Vojtěch Hladký.

This note intends to announce that the Hermes Latinus sub-series of the Corpus Christianorum Continuatio Mediaevalis series published by Brepols and founded by the late Professor Paolo Lucentini (†2011) is renewing its publication plan. The Editorial Board of the series has been re-constituted, and is now comprised of David Porreca, Bruno Rochette, and Antonella Sannino.
