Dismissing the entire technology as "next token prediction" is also silly. It's implying we actually understand LLMs to a great degree when we do not. I think a little bit of humility for the capability of these machines is w

Blaming people trying to make money is so pointless. Change the law if you don't like what is happening.

Can you explain how women can both be allowed to have careers if they want while also not being "forced" into the workplace? It just sounds like you want women to face extreme societal pressure to be mothers, and the few women tha

This is literally just patriarchy talking, you think that men know what's best for women, and what's best for them is for them to stay at home cooking and cleaning. Which is awfully convenient for the men that don't want to d

There has always been a gender war, throughout the entirety of human existence. You just don't like that women have won a few battles recently.

If the Riemann hypothesis is solved primarily by a AI system it will not be as awe inspiring as if a human solved it. That is just how it is.

Would you say the 2012 apocalypse doomsayers were correct but just "early"? After all the sun exploding in a billion years will ultimately prove them correct.

I don't think the brain encodes language via a giant list of rules.

by Jtarii 20d ago
Language is infinitely generative though so I don't understand how you can write down a finite list of rules in a book in the first place. The thought experiment is fundamentally nonsensical.

Searle's main argument seems to be that meat is magic and silicon is not.

What's stopping the book from containing that information? When you hear a certain set of symbols in a certain context you jump.

That is an outstandingly bad argument.

To make the claim that an object is not conscious you need to both define what consciousness even is, then you need to make a machine capable of measuring it. If you have done neither or those things then any claim you have about a bicycle&

by Jtarii 27d ago
the onus is on whoever is making a positive claim. If you are stating "LLMs are not conscious" you need to provide evidence, just like how if you are stating "LLMs are conscious" you need to provide evidence.

Can we conclusively say one way or another if an ant has a conscious experience?

by Jtarii 27d ago
I would agree that LLMs aren't much like the human brain, that doesn't prove that consciousness is not occurring. Does a fruit fly experience anything? If a microscopic insect can experience something, why can't a CPU? >if

>Because plenty of people, even ones that should know better, really believe it's a conscious, thinking entity You need evidence to make the positive claim that LLMs do not posses any form of consciousness.
