The article cites David Chalmers, who is literally the guy who first described the "hard problem" of consciousness. If you want Philosophy of Mind, you got it. That doesn't mean you have to agree with him, but 🤷🏼‍♂️

I believe experiential consciousness is fundamental to reality so sure, LLMs are conscious. As are traffic jams, thunderstorms, grains of sand, electrons, any system of interacting quantum fields, etc.

It's amazing! It also doesn't mean we grieve for every spreadsheet cell with a formula error 🤷🏼‍♂️

I remember reading about how identity papers in some places include ethnic group or religion and thinking "huh the only reason to do that would be to make it easier to discriminate" and then realizing the same thing applies to gender markers.

Either that or he said "billion" in which case about 400 lbs per person 🤔🤔 (honestly unclear to me, sounded like "mbillion"?)
