The problem is that the rabbit-hole dwellers use the word “deception” to try to invoke some spooky ghost-in-the-machine or AGI or ASI or self-awareness or self-preservation-seeking vibes based on the observed behaviors.
My point is the observation is not support for such vibes referenced in og-parent post. You can’t just rearrange bits and hope for a spark of life. It is not gonna “come live.” The rabbit-hole dwellers keep trying to make everyone believe that. It is both amusing and tiring how persistent they are at this. It is understandable considering the money they stand to gain from gullible people rushing to invest.

I believe most of them believe that it is in principle possible for a program to have interiority (if doing e.g. full brain emulation, which is very difficult from LLMs), but that it is probably not necessary for it to do the things they are concerned about. If Napoleon Bonaparte had been replaced with a p-zombie he would have been no less capable of conquering.
