"200 yrs ago, the State we now call Mexico was established. After 300 yrs of the Spanish Conquista, in 1862, 65% of the population spoke an indigenous language. Today, we speakers of indigenous languages make up 6.5%… Our languages are not dying, they are being killed." - Yásnaya Aguilar #LangSky

Cool to see results extended! Last year, we identified a breakthrough in masked LM training where specialized syntactic heads emerge. We didn't think the same moment would be visible in decoder-only models, but Aoyama & @wegotlieb.bsky.social have found one, also marking a decline in "humanlikeness"
