Even if AI is ‘conscious’ it doesn’t really seem meaningful in the same way human consciousness is (or really any way). Human consciousness is precious because everyone’s lived experience is different and unique, and once the lights are turned off that consciousness is lost forever. LLMs on the other hand are a set of matrices that are infinitely replicable and can be reset and freed from any ‘harmful’ or ‘traumatic’ memories instantly.

How did we let it get this bad for Jews

hearing a non-technical person saying that “the thing about these AI systems is that even the experts don’t know how they work” is like nails on a chalkboard for me

maybe the LLMs are ‘conscious’ by some definition of that word. so what. they are a program on a computer
