In hindsight 'clearly' was too strong of a word to use here, although I stick to the rest of the argument

Interesting replies so far

[Strife @Strife212]

LLMs are intelligent, but they clearly aren't conscious?

You could (incredibly slowly) run an LLM by hand by doing the matrix calculations with a pen and paper, would that be conscious? There is zero difference between doing that and doing it on a GPU except its faster.

[Strife @Strife212]

@rcolidba I don't think so? It's not known if time is quantized

[Strife @Strife212]

@Thaviel I wouldn't entirely rule it out I suppose

[Strife @Strife212]

@lux I don't think it has to be mysterious, I just don't think it can happen from running deterministic software

[Strife @Strife212]

@kiiroi_jacket you can't I think, quantum mechanics is not deterministic

[Strife @Strife212]

@AblemanResearch It is emergent and self learning but you have the weights and harnesses and code and it runs on a regular computer, given enough time you could do it no? (even if it took millions of years)

[Strife @Strife212]

@stoizid well it would have the exact same properties as the one run on the computer

[Strife @Strife212]

I can't comprehend any argument that says they are conscious that doesn't also make video game NPCS conscious

[Strife @Strife212]

It's a series of discrete steps (GPU cycles) and has no real tie to the underlying hardware, it's an incredibly advanced program but it's still just a program. You're lacking the continuity and link to 'hardware' that a living thing has at the tmoment.

@jaketropolis yeah they are cognates

[Strife @Strife212]

@jaketropolis I thought it was literally just the same word

[Strife @Strife212]

@ReVelvetWriter We do be stagnating in Britain so perhaps you guys have it right

[Strife @Strife212]

@cavempty_ only if he can make it into this

@ZeroSuitCamus when I was a very small child I used to find it sinister

nvidia went wrong when they stopped showcasing their new technology by demonstrating how hot a fairy woman it could make

guys why are all EFI BIOS UIs so ugly and outdated? someone should build a new bios with vue or react

@Andr3jH You have to accelerate to speed first, assuming constant 1g acceleration the entire time that's 8 years to get up to speed and 8 years to slow down again (or like 2000 years external time)
