The question being asked isn't "are language models really good?", though. It's "are language models (moving towards being) conscious?".

But surely the string "I don't understand the question" (and many other variants) is in the range of GPT-3's possible outputs - it just assigns it lower probability than it does the nonsensical answers.

I'm hardly an expert on gold aesthetics, but I would have guessed you could get all or nearly all gold's aesthetic properties from other cheaper materials. Like what's the cubic zirconium of gold?

I'm also unclear whether being cut is truly the only way to trigger the release. Could the note be damaged in other ways to get it to think it's been cut? The website is extremely light on details.

It sort of seems like if you have to set hand-wavy boundaries to avoid making EA unworkable, maybe it's not that sound of a philosophy after all.

There are generously 2k transactions per block. Block reward is 6.25 bitcoins. A bitcoin costs $30,000 so the block reward is $187,500. Amortizing over 2k transactions, each transaction is worth a smidge under $100, before transaction fe

I think of this like if you empty the 'take a penny, leave a penny' tray into your pocket. It's clearly allowed by the terms to take the pennies, but it's also clearly immoral.
