exactly. such over-reduction is just intellectually dishonest and generally a sign of some coping imo.

theories like this seem like grasping at straws to over explain a phenomenon we don't fully understand. it places consciousness on a pedestal. it's religious thinking.

what happens in the end was my entire point, and the refutation of your point. wtf? writing things down is a superior form of information retention and accuracy than verbal recitation and memory, obviously.

Do you really think the law isn't already horribly abused? Democratization of law has been needed for a thousand years.

"these are actual research papers." Not in any sense of that term are these research papers. Not lazy, sure, but a couple conceptual tables does not a research paper make.

"I’m broadly skeptical that floating-point operations can be conscious" Why?

", but eventually you need to sell things for at least what it costs to make them." Gmail, and every other free service would like a word. Net tangential profit invalidates your point. They can loss lead LLM's forever if they

Do you have any basis for this collection of claims? I've never heard of this intentional obfuscation.

Imagine being front and center to the development of a major revolutionary tech.. and ur solution to it being too dangerous is to not be involved.. so a. your ability to steer it safely is killed b. the % of people invovled in it that care

Well one way to look at it is: As a programmer, but working in two non-SWE roles, I have turned job A 70% over to AI, and job B 90%. Where systems and scaffolds can be put in place to manage various aspects of a job, would this not be consi

When people say they have been in startups for long periods, does this mean they worked at a chain of failed companies?

More fuel to why the AA index is fairly pointless. Gemini 3.8 flash is 59 and opus 5 is 63? grok 4.6 is 61 too? And in the past, gemini 3 pro was rated as high as opus 4.5 and the like Their AA Intelligence Index is just simply not indicat

Glad someone caught the reference. Too bad that someone completely whooshed the joke lol. And I don't need my LLM's to master the universe, just to be better than most humans at what I need done. Almost there.

Youre just arguing against your own point now. My analogy is a fine reproduction of the failure of the 'just a token predictor' argument. To predict the next token requires many other interesting things to also be understood and m

this made me laugh even though i dont think i even get it. can you explain this please lol

Yours is exactly the right intuition imo. If you presuppose certain key aspects of materialism, non-dualism, functionalism, objectivism, perhaps absolute determinism... and then layer on a good general grasp of neurobiology, chemistry, cosm

Oh so you're saying the biological imperative that underlies all human function, upon which all other emergent functions have sprung from, isn't actually the correct way to characterize human capability and is over-reductive..and

Humans are just baby replicators. The civilizations are what's getting uncanny. It's good the 'just token predictors' crowd is starting to pivot and hedge though lol. 'It's just the harness!' uh huh. give

I think this definitely applies to fable/opus/sol, mixed with the undeterministic nature of the models. But those claiming Qwen are just outright coping. Thats nonsense imo

I'd suggest that they need better education then. Prompting isn't unskilled. Neither was googling before that. There is critical thinking involved, and the method in which you utilize the outputs that matters as well. Yes skills a
