I try my best not to experience continuous time for at least eight hours a day.

  Then for at least eight hours a day you don’t qualify as a generally intelligent system.

    If I spend some amount of the day bathing, some amount of it scratching, some amount of it thinking vaguely about racoons without any clear conclusions, and a lot of it drinking tea, I wonder how many seconds remain during which I qualified as generally intelligent.

      I feel you qualify during all of those waking seconds

        Racoons are said to be intelligent because they're good at opening locks. On the other hand, when they have food and are within ten feet of a pool of water, they will dip the food in the water and rub it between their paws for no reason. They can reason about the locks, but not about the food. Meanwhile, I in theory can reason about anything, but in practice I wouldn't count on it. Whereas an LLM can't reason, but it's very sharp and always ready to react appropriately.

          I’m not familiar with this raccoon behavior but it sure doesn’t sound like it’s done without reason. An LLM is never ready to react to anything because it’s just a matrix that needs a higher level system to invoke it.
