That wasn't my reading of the comment, but I guess it's possible that that is what was intended. To my mind, "sidestepping the question of consciousness" and "sidestepping any notion of consciousness" mean very

I don't think the described cipher has enough degrees of freedom for that to be possible.

Asking an LLM to play chess by writing algebraic notation is like asking a human to play chess blindfolded. Yes some people can do it but most people can't even if they're unusually intelligent. You really need to be giving the LL

If the thing that makes it interesting is that the solution is unknown to everyone, then would you also oppose humans publishing solutions? Once the solution is published the mystery is gone. Also, just because someone else knows something

Right. The existence of jet planes doesn't invalidate Olympics. Why would the existence of machine solutions invalidate human puzzle solving?

You only notice the ones that aren't safe. How would you know if someone bypassed the restrictions if they were riding it safely?

But you can't experience the qualia of tokens coming in and LLMs can.

They don't only reference a frozen training reality, they also reference the live rollout. Otherwise they wouldn't work at all. They do continuously update from experience, but that only lasts for as long as the current rollout

Their training data isn't qualia itself, but neither is your training data. Qualia are something you get on the inside in response to inputs. I don't see why LLMs can't have them. I'm not saying they do , but I don&#x27

It's fine, of course, but unwillingness to view with the general public should not constitute grounds for a private viewing. I don't like the general public either, can I have a private viewing?

In your other comment you state that you've taken 3 different types of combat training (concealed carry, martial arts, army basic). I am curious if you did all this training after the incident with the 3 young men or before?

I think broadly the same thing, I just think that people who say they don't have aphantasia are sloppy with wording. When you "see" something in your mind's "eye", that's a different type of experience t

The extension can declare which websites it can access, but the other commenter was looking for the ability for the user to declare which websites it can access.

Easy to fear what you merely imagine. Did you know that for train and bus travel in the UK bags are not scanned? And we don't have people bombing trains and buses all the time. Some museums look in bags and some don't and I'm

What hasn't aged well? I don't think any of it is dated to any particular time period.
