I rather wish there were more attention drawn to this specific point: the techlords who have set themselves up as THE experts on #intelligence and thinking, who are so frequently boasting about their own superior intellects while lamenting (in racist and eugenicist terms) about how so much of the human population are basically like mindless zombies and an impediment to civilization, are also ready to pounce on the idea that "intelligence" is merely an illusion, a sort of handwaving by which we pretend that our own words—or the words emitted by machines—are more than just strings of stochastically generated noise which happen to elicit desired responses from others.

Ultimately, Musk and Altman and Andreessen et alii do not want the concepts of intelligence and consciousness to be systematically examined and studied. It suits their purposes for "intelligence" to remain a deliberately vague, doublethinkful buzzword. The techlords themselves don't want to think too hard—and they don't want anyone round them to be brighter than themselves, certainly not their "artificial intelligence".
