What if we made an analogy to a hydra, one where the body could do a fair amount of thinking itself, but where the heads (previously the “masks”) control access to the body (previous the “shoggoth”)? In this analogy you’re saying the LLM puts its reused strategies in the body of the hydra and the heads outsource those strategies to the body? I think I’d agree with that.
In this analogy, my point in this post is that you can’t talk directly to the hydra’s body, just as you can’t talk to a human’s lizard brain. At best you can have a head role-play as the body.

Could work.
