These things are very different from the human mind. With your mind, you read the words one by one, building up intuition as you go. As part of that, there's a kind of continuous synthesis of information. The synthesis is highly temporal, because as you go you are training, and the hardware is changing (your emotions, dictated by your stomach or the sound you can hear or...) underneath you.

These things are very different. The mental model I have is that they put the entire book into a big hypercube and then *flash*, instantly, out comes the next token. And likewise, when they encounter text that is 8001 tokens long, token #1 is completely erased, gone, like it never existed.
