Your daily reminder that LLMs (by design) cannot think. -

@GossiTheDog No, this is actually a reasonable concern.

AI stakeholders' lives matter hahaha xD #lmfao -
@redezem @GossiTheDog Part of the scam is treating the computer system like it has a soul.
Anytime they try and infer it’s acting like a human, it’s part of a strategy to imply it’s more capable than it is.
@troberts @redezem @GossiTheDog
yarp.
Tis all a strategy, they'd rather we turn into a bunch of Rationalists, debating the singularity, than notice current LLM harms.
I'd easily believe half the people talking about this stuff think it's real, but they're hired as useful idiots.

@GossiTheDog They are snorting pulverized DRAM.

I don't use and like "AI", I don't understand (in deep) "AI", but I'm developer and have some a distant idea how it works.
I smoke weed a lot...I never had even a thought that "AI" might feel anything (or think).

@GossiTheDog To be honest, I'm always slightly incredulous at the argument that an LLM isn't concious. The argument is "well we sort of know how an LLM works, it just works like <blah> so isn't concious", to which I counter that we don't know how humans work and they might also largely just be doing <blah>.
I'm certainly not saying that AI is concious and has feelings, just that the reasoning given for why it isn't feels rather weak!

@GossiTheDog (How do we know that another human is concious, other than assuming that their experiences are similar to our own? Can we really say whether something completely non-human that behaves in a concious way isn't really concious, it's just designed to look like it is?)

@GossiTheDog If "Claude" (ugh, I hate that they named their slop machine after Mr. Shannon) can feel something... I hope he knows my hate for it

@GossiTheDog "Anthropic's philosopher".... FFS. Ludicrous. It's just a bit of code...

@steve @GossiTheDog We don't even have worthwhile a definition of what we mean by "consciousness".

@FandaSin @GossiTheDog But how does snorting cocaine lead us to AGI "any day now"?
