don’t tell me “there’s other fish in the sea” those fishes don’t do what my fish does, they don’t even look like my fish. my fish swims a little different, kinda sideways, a little autistic. i like that fish. i want that fish

This is how calculus should’ve been taught from day one

Wow. I woke up to an impressive number of upset people who apparently don’t understand how LLMs work and can’t cope well with me pointing it out.

An LLM is a statistical next-token prediction model. That’s how it works. It’s an extraordinarily sophisticated calculator performing math you could theoretically do by hand (if you were sufficiently masochistic).

Math doesn’t know what it’s calculating. Pi doesn’t spend its evenings contemplating the nature of circles, and c doesn’t ponder the relationship between matter and energy.

That doesn’t make the results any less accurate, impressive, or useful.

Between inference requests, an LLM isn’t sitting around thinking. It isn’t reconsidering its answers, wondering whether it made a mistake, contemplating its existence, or questioning whether it’s conscious. Its weights remain fixed (it doesn’t learn), and computation resumes when it receives input.

We know this because we designed these systems. The architectures, mathematics, implementations, and research are extensively documented. You can study them yourself.

Of course, some people immediately lean into comparisons of biological intelligence or philosophical debates over consciousness because that is what they know.

But biological intelligence and artificial neural networks are fundamentally different systems. Similar outputs don’t establish equivalent internal experiences.

I experience consciousness directly. I infer that other humans do too because we share biological structures and processes. We don’t have equivalent evidence for an LLM, and nothing about its known operation gives evidence of conscious experience.

Which brings me back to my original point.

To me, understanding is conscious comprehension. It means being aware of information, recognizing its meaning, and experiencing that comprehension. If I wasn’t conscious I could not understand.

We can perform actions unconsciously. We can produce correct results without knowing why they’re correct. But I distinguish those capabilities from consciously understanding what we’re doing.

An LLM can solve complex problems, explain difficult concepts, and produce remarkably accurate information. I give it full credit for those capabilities.

But producing an answer that we rationalize as understanding isn’t the same as experiencing understanding.

You don’t have to agree with my definitions. We can debate functional understanding versus conscious comprehension all day, but that won’t establish whether an LLM actually experiences anything.

The right debate is this…

Could machines exhibit something different from human consciousness, something measurable, meaningful, and worth studying?

I think so, absolutely!

I’m entirely open to discussing “machine consciousness” in terms of observable, testable computational properties. We built these systems, we can instrument them, examine their internal mechanisms, and investigate what they’re capable of.

That seems far more productive than endlessly arguing over whether a machine experiences life the way humans do.

So here’s my question:

How would you define machine consciousness, and more importantly, how would you measure it?

@AshipaEK0 Fewer international students means less university funding, more job cuts and potential course closures. How exactly does that create more places for British students? You’re celebrating a crisis that could hurt the very students you claim to care about.

[Hadassa @iamhadassaa]

@TomasAlways @proudlyJacquine @AJEnglish The point is the UK is facing a university funding crisis, with job cuts and courses closing. International students pay higher fees that help keep universities afloat. Retaining skilled graduates means more workers, taxpayers and economic growth. This is about economic sense

[Hadassa @iamhadassaa]

@TomasAlways @proudlyJacquine @AJEnglish Thomas, would you say the same to British graduates seeking work in Canada or Australia? The UK recruits international students, charges them higher fees and offers post-study work visas. Nobody expects automatic residency, but driving away skilled graduates isn’t smart policy.

Yeah. And somehow the guy who knows how the pipes work still gets called when your AI-generated sewage starts leaking into prod.

@Only1Sofiya @Sierra_rak Still say the same?

@tanniiesrkive @gaberlakes Literally the same ?

@ripnotorious Where did I say doctors can’t be Christians? Their religion is irrelevant. You claimed the successful surgery was a miracle, and I asked what evidence attributes the success to God rather than the medical team that performed it. That’s literally addressing your claim.

[Hadassa @iamhadassaa]

@ripnotorious @giantwangman @BASEDPLAYER0 @Yuvyan_Malhan @halilbey98 Why attribute the successful surgery to God instead of the doctors who spent years studying, trained for the procedure, and actually performed it? If the surgery had failed, would you blame God too or only credit him when it succeeds?

[Hadassa @iamhadassaa]

@giantwangman @BASEDPLAYER0 @Yuvyan_Malhan @halilbey98 ‘What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.’

You’ve spent this whole thread making claims, dodging the burden of proof, and replacing arguments with insults. I’ve got far better uses for my time than tutoring you through basic logic for free.
