   I hate this bot-detection anime girl popping up on my monitor while I pretend to be working. Same goes for the funny pictures at the beginning of some Github readmes. Sorry for complaining about a tangential annoyance, but I haven't s

   Thanks for the link, I haven't seen this before and it's interesting. I don't think the version of self awareness they demonstrated is synonymous with subjective experience. But same thing can be said about any human other th

    I wonder if "X is not Y - its' Z" LLM shibboleth is just an artifact of "is not" being a third most common bigram starting with is, just after "is a" and "is the" [0]. It doesn't follow as s

    Come on, can you really care about a stranger's stupid story? Isn’t it enough that I care about not being lonely for the rest of my life, and in pursuit of that goal I decided to act like a good person and a good conversation partner?

    You're probably right that him being in denial is more likely then him being super special. But I don't think this psychoanalytical reasoning is justified? >if you've never felt it, why are you mentioning it? why are you s
