I'm objecting to a positive claim, not making a universal statement about the impossibility of non-human sentience.
Seriously - the language used is a wild claim in the context.

The underpants gnomes of philosophy, if you'll forgive me for one of the few South Park references that I actually know: Step 1: some foundation; step 2: ???; step 3: consciousness.
- empyrrhicist 8mo agoRight, I don't disagree with that. I just really objected to the "must", and I was using "pile of linear algebra" to describe LLMs as they currently exist, rather than as a general catch-all for things which an be done with/expressed in linear algebra.
