Max LeibmanWhen someone says, “It’s possible that this LLM is already conscious,” treat them as if they had said “It’s possible that this giant table of numbers is already conscious.”
Muss das sein.@maxleibman that’s a very weak argument. We are a (huge) bunch of unconscious cells.
@jnfrd Simplified to be evocative of the (correct) intuition that no, OpenAI and Anthropic have not cracked the problem of consciousness.
And “We conscious beings are a huge bunch of unconscious cells, so therefore a rack of Nvidia GPUs doing matrix multiplication on a huge table of numbers might be conscious” is an only slightly less weak argument.
@maxleibman no they didn’t. I fully agree. But I’m cautious with arguments that might fire beck.
