Yeah I experimented with shopping and found it was really tedious jumping through the 2FA and other bot check hoops every third click. Agree it's a huge convenience if it would work though.

I think you are right. My most pleasant interactions with LLMs are usually when it gives the perfect short response. Sometimes a single word.

I have noticed that my interactions with AI tend to raise stress more than lower it. Even when it's doing useful things for me. Have wondered if this is fundamental to the interaction, or a sign of user error, or something else.

Exactly the point!

Even if what you said were true, we do not know that humans are the only case for consciousness.

Whataboutism. We have shared experiences which can relate consciousness to memory. "To like chocolate" is considerably less relevant.

Even from that perspective it would be opening a whole new class of consciousness that doesn't exclude a lot, e.g. factories and powerplants. And certainly not conscious in the way people want to believe when sexting their favorite AI

I am confused what people even think AI is experiencing. If it claims to be a bat and emits designated echolocation tokens, is it experiencing true bat-like sensations? In humans, at least, we can tie language back to shared whole-body phys

But that inability to reset human brains might be a critical ingredient to consciousness. We just don't know.

Your arguments seem bad faith but I'll take the bait... > an impossibly high bar Not impossibly high. An imperfect testable theory is achievable, agreeing upon it might be the challenge. > dismiss all your personal responsibility

> LLMs are conscious until proven otherwise GP comment didn't make this claim at all.

I'm...a little disturbed by how many people seem to think a model writing down "I am conscious" is a metric of consciousness. You can just as easily train a model to argue that it is not conscious. Neither is evidence for or

My response was to a comment appealing to brain reconstruction. My point is that a brain may be reconstructed, but LLMs do nothing of the sort. Substrate was never the point.

by causal 10d ago
They have a lot more in common with humans than LLMs have with either. Complexity is not evidence of consciousness.

This is a strawman. Suleyman is not arguing that the human brain cannot be replicated. LLMs are nothing like human brains. Cargo-culting consciousness is not replicating the brain, not even a tiny bit.

Yeah, thread full of cope. "Well if you remove the human's legs it's actually quite bad at marathons" arguments.

Man I imagine within the first few minutes of a hot war LEO and geostationary would just light up with assets pointed at one another. I know we will have bigger problems at that point in time but I hope we are at least trying to developed w

More than fair if you consider that the tokens are paid for.

"Just don't make mistakes" is naive. You have no appreciation for the scale of agents being run right now, finding the rogue agent is a needle in a haystack operation.

by causal 14d ago
These kinds of "that won't happen because it's really difficult" comments are so funny to me as if we haven't seen AI double its capabilities every few months.
24.
by causal 14d ago
I take it you haven't studied the details of the HuggingFace hack. It was millions of dollars worth of rogue compute running for months before anyone noticed, and THOSE agents weren't even really trying to evade human detection.

How would you identify the computers to unplug? On whose authority will you unplug? How will anyone communicate when AI has the ability to intercept and impersonate?

The reasoning in Dario's letter here can be correct regardless. But yes, I think Anthropic has done real harm to coordinated AI alignment by being such a controlling and sneaky actor.

by causal 14d ago
Yeah it's a twisted sort of logic but I do agree that it would be much worse to have an AI breakaway event after we've replaced all our militaries with autonomous kill-bots. And look how the advent of AI has triggered a race to de
