Considering it's the only thing I'm directly aware of I think I can safely reject that it's a made up concept.

Philosophers were discussing that question far before LLMs were around.

Right, it's an illusion of understanding. There is some sort of symbolic understanding, but that is completely due to the fact that the training data was made by humans who actually do understand, can interact with the world, and can w

I think Searle's Chinese Room argument refutes this. LLMs are simply manipulating symbols, they do not have semantic understanding. This is why hallucinations exist. And Searle's argument extends even further than LLMs. You are ba

You have first-person knowledge of qualia. I'm not really sure how you could deny that without claiming that qualia doesn't exist. You're claiming some middle ground here that I think almost all philosophers and neuroscientis

That is not what a p-zombie is. The p-zombie does not have any qualia at all. If you want to deny the existence of qualia, that's one way a few philosophers have gone (Dennett), but that seems pretty ridiculous to most people.

Why haven't zero knowledge proofs shined in this area? Can anyone explain?

This is relatable, mine is somewhat similar. It feels like a very specific version of performance anxiety that unfortunately affects the most banal social interactions. It is obviously multiplied tenfold when I'm in a situation where t

That is only true if consciousness is physical and the result of some physics going on in the human brain. We have no idea if that's true.

Yes, they can't have understanding or intentionality.

Pretty easy to fix: [2] 3.3.4 Date of Issuance. To determine the record date for ownership of Common Stock shares (whether issued as a book entry or certificate), ask: Were the Company's stock transfer books or the Warrant Agent's

Is this really verbal reasoning? It's just a logic problem.

It correlates, which could also explain a link in the opposite direction. Secondary sex characteristics sometimes have nothing to do with overall fitness. You can see this most clearly in animal species where the females value elaborate orn

It's just people coping with guilt about not giving to charity honestly. That, and ad hominem attacks on the people involved. You see people giving kidneys away and there are still articles talking about how its selfish or misguided.

I cannot think of a reason to prefer to help a neighbor over someone who is vastly more in need who is further away. I think that's the main thrust of the argument.

Using the words "black dresser" or "brown dresser" maybe?

I meant the opposite. It seems like even amongst the relatively normal group of people I know, the rate of sexlessness seems higher than these stats suggest.

These numbers seem kind of low to me, even when I think of people in my life anecdotally. I wonder what is going on there.

You can just claim that omniscience and omnipotence do not require that you can do logically impossible things. For instance, God couldn't will that 2+2=5, or that he could create something so heavy that he could not move it.

This is ultimately why I left. I felt as though they kept releasing new features and services every month without a focus on improving their existing ones.
