I'm struggling to find where these authors are treating LLMs and transformers like they're the solution to everything, or where they are just following hype around? These are long-time AI researchers at Berkeley who've developed a framework for dealing with limited context windows, drawing inspiration from operating systems.

"LLMs as Operating Systems"... —long-time AI researchers at Berkeley

In the paper, they're talking about managing LLM context windows the way operating systems manage memory and files. They're not saying LLMs should be used as operating systems.

they should work on their communication skills.

This is unhelpful. People should be expected to read past headlines. The paper's abstract takes 30 seconds to read.

I'm sorry it's unhelpful, but it is how I feel about the article and click-baity title. downwote all you want.

Always cringeworthy when the average bum coder on HN with zero attention span or intellectual curiosity criticizes papers way out of their intellectual depth without reading further than the title. They are describing a new concept using "operating system" almost as a metaphor. This is a way to describe novel concepts. The article abstract makes the point clear and only takes a few seconds to read.
