a. Cats are obviously conscious b. There are almost no behavioral similarities between cats and Claude . d. Therefore claude can not be conscious. You are missing: c. Everything conscious must behave like a cat. This logic is clearly not so

My point is learning may be required to create intelligence, but not 'run' intelligence. And LLM's 'learn' in their training, no? It happening at a different times doesn't truly matter.

Okay. So to be clear, you believe that replicating/templating a brain is the ONLY way to make an intelligent machine? What makes you think that? That there are no other patterns of intelligence?

What does AGI mean to you? Transformers have approximate knowledge of many things. Is this not 'general'? Where is the goalpost here?

I understand the concern. I want sign language to continue to exist and be used. It's far too useful for communication in a loud/silent area. I think it should be adopted much more widely as a second language. I however do not wis

Okay. for that to be a reasonable take: curing deafness must then destroy culture. would that ACTUALLY happen, though? I challenge that assumption. Take this hypothetical scenario: magic... magically all deafness is gone, suddenly and insta

Its more like making that choice: and it having it be permanent. The child can never visit the city. You can always make someone deaf (unethical), but you can't always reverse hearing loss at an advanced age.

pedantic and true. What was stolen was not data, but future revenue based on exclusive access to that data.

Context is going to be the next big advancement. When a model is trained on multi-contexts, some growing over time like we see now (conversations), some rolling at various sizes (as in, always on), such as a clock, video feed, audio feed, d

Hopefully we will find a way to make it so that making minor changes don't require a full retrain. Training how to train, as a concept, comes to mind.

You do not fight entropy, only move it around, and in so doing, increase it somewhere. It is still worth it to take action. We may find an action to actually reduce entropy eventually, that does not exist yet.

I have moved through the local models at this size. This one is by far the most capable. I've tried various versions of gemma4.26b, various versions of qwen3.5-27/35b (qwopus's galor),nemotron,phi,glm4.7. This one is noticeab

What would you rather have the government spend it's money on if not on the wellbeing/welfare of its citizens?

It is like the AI is training us to avoid certain language patterns. I rebel at the hostage of weak language: for strong language is next.
