im not a huge fan of STP anyway so im not going to challenge the judgments here: what i am going to say is that my brane straightaway went to “I’ve reviewed over 50 sticky toffee puddings: all exactly the same brand"
“I’ve reviewed over 50 sticky toffee puddings” is an incredibly powerful way to begin a video

the real world projects its shadows into our phenomenal consciousness, and then we make shadow-puppets of the things we see and project it down into Claude's.

a LLM is like an ant living on a map of your hometown. the relations between landmarks in the universe it lives in correspond to the landmarks in your hometown, but it does not live in your hometown. it lives in a two-dimensional embedding of your hometown.

my position is that intelligence is decomposable into families of capabilities, a few of which LLMs have but humans do not and many of which humans have but LLMs do not.
I have very strong and I believe well-justified scientific opinions about what LLMs have and don't have and how that relates to human cognition but to claim that anything about this is settled or inarguable or not debatable is in fact super wild and people should be real careful about it.
"LLMs raise absolutely no philosophical questions whatsoever, because the issue of what intelligence consists of was settled a long before they existed" is an insane statement even if you cede the incorrect "it was a settled question" point to the other side.

I fully respect that you have the right to do [thing]. But there’s a line between me doing it, which I have no problem with and is normal, and you doing it, which sucks and is annoying to me.

imagining a future where case asks wintermute to get a basic 2020s printer working and the tessier-ashpool super-AI just shuts off in raw terror
Recently wife and I stunlocked a guy who works in the bleeding edge of AI (San Francisco) and asked him if, instead of putting AGI in a brain implant, he can just start with a consumer printer that works reliably. Genuinely he did not know what to say.
Even former Thiel Fellows are starting to realize that the tech industry hebben een serieus probleem
