> The not-so-quiet goal of the LLM push by big tech was to homogenise intellectual labour such that it can be made fungible. When labour is fungible you can swap it out whenever you like for an alternative, decreasing the bargaining powe

Funny, I remember seeing the solid state intelligence's name rendered SSI. It made Sutskever's enterprise a pretty grim cognate.

I will concur that it's too opaque.

And it is worth noting, I think, that Olah's message to the pope is centrally making that point: that Olah and his peers are within incentive structures that distort their actions and understanding, and therefore that dialog with those

I think what you've said here is unfair and overly cynical; nowhere have I read Chris or any of the Anthropic people make the claim that LLMs definitively are conscious. What they say is that there is increasing uncertainty, and eviden

Neat idea. I remember way back in the day, there was some question as to the legality of compelled unlocking of devices; IIRC, it’s been deemed legal to compel a fingerprint, but illegal (under the first amendment?) to compel entry of a pas

Yeah, you could use forward error correction too, so any n bits would be enough to reconstruct the input. Of course then you get into needing software to decode the more advanced encodings; maybe start with a voice transmission explaining i
