Reality is under no obligation to be fun. It might be boring but it is the truth.
The fact that you needed such effort to try and give this position any shred of sense only serves as proof of how nonsensical it is to do so.
- red75prime 2mo ago> It might be boring but it is the truth. The inability of people to reflect on their own beliefs amazes me to no end. How can you know that LLMs have no phenomenal states? For example, I believe that rocks (ordinary rocks, not silicon chips) have no phenomenal states because for all we know they don't do any kind of information processing (relevant to self-reflection, at least) and I don't believe in panpsychism or dualism.
- jquery 2mo agoTo me it seems kind of arrogant that we assume only “we” are conscious beings. Sometimes I imagine the planet earth itself as a creature, and humans on it a kind of bacteria… how ridiculous if bacteria in the human body were convinced only they were conscious, but the human body they relied on was not. The bacteria would have great excuses… “look at that human, everything it does can be explained via simple physical processes, unlike what we do”.
