@AbhiCodes15 If you read and understand the output, sure. That's where the disconnect is. The willingness to read and understand. Turns out that quickly becomes more difficult than writing it yourself, i.e. kinda like learning vs remembering.
@FKR_Icarus Other Minds is bullshit unless you're willing to subscribe to wholesale solipsism. The effectiveness of acting as if the other humans we interact with are conscious is proof enough that they actually are. The same is simply untrue of LLMs.
It's impossible to actually understand how an LLM works and genuinely believe it's conscious.
It's a bunch of vectors and multiplication. That's literally it.
"We don't know what they're doing"
lmfao yes, yes we do.
Typical reductionism, just tossing the evidence of your own consciousness. Which ion channel—exactly—allowed you to understand this sentence? When predicting whether the car ahead of you will slam on its brakes for no reason, are you considering neurotransmitters? Or human behavior? Get outta here with this BS.
@GL_Costanza You should silently fume, imagining elaborate revenge scenarios and discuss them with Jerry later. Kramer will then burst in to reveal he went off first that day, played terribly, and held up the entire pace of play making a play through effectively irrelevant.
@TheDefiantGhost So you're saying is AIs were given a nefarious goal and ran with it? Shocking!
Maybe these kinds of "security probes" should be banned. Maybe it's a bad idea to give tech bros with a "let's see if it can hack shit" attitude access to $100K+ of compute at no cost to themselves.
@lewieatlarge@Randaroo1212 Absolutely what I said, word for word. You're sharp!
Hell, we wouldn't even have to do anything but put em all together! Disease would take care of the rest.
@KellyLorea80@jackunheard Fair point re the need for leaders, but I'm sure there are some decent options across 470 races. Just pointing out that the timing's never been better. Dems are having their own 'tea party' moment, so don't fool yourself into thinking it's all sunshine and rainbows over there.
@gfodor Aliens aren't real.
But if they were, they couldn't get here.
But if they could, they wouldn't bother.
But if they did, they'd want to help us.
But if they didn't, they wouldn't hurt us.
But if they would, we'd live in zoos.
Therefore the doomers are wrong
