Huh. Regardless of folks opinions on the actual plan, does this idea imply an interesting question? In some sense all of the ideas in a book already exist. Before I read the book, they haven’t been put through a process of being interpreted by my eyeballs and ingested into my brain. But, they do already exist. Do the ideas in an LLM latent space (or whatever) already exist? They haven’t been read or interpreted yet, but the sentient cognition that goes into creating the idea has already happened. What does it mean for an idea to exist anyway?
