A mind is formed from the aggregation of signals passing between neurons, which can be modeled well enough using linear algebra to do any computation that a brain can. A large language model is akin the the ALU of a digital binary computer. We seek a more complete architecture, and it’s coming soon.

A Turing complete system can absolutely fully express another Turing complete system, this is part of why and how we have virtual machines and the SaaS cloud in the first place.

Historically, this is the *only job that matters* and the only important economic outcome. Everything else can be automated.

If there is a process by which a human can translate a thought into a reliable software system, then that process can be automated. Honestly, that applies to any human cognitive output. Things with AI only get more uncanny from here forward, until they become less uncanny and become mundane instead.

If you understand how to work with natural language to specify the processes that generate deterministic software systems, then you can leverage that process within a machine to do it on your behalf. There is nothing that precludes that from happening, and llm’s are in some ways The Last Program.

If you want to get into how Turing completeness applies here, you may not like the end result much: there is nothing exceptional about the human mind that precludes its processes from being emulated or simulated within a Turing complete computational system.

Yes, I understand the difference between formal grammar and natural language, I went to graduate school for computer science. I am telling you that having taken the time to study all of this since the 90’s, and attained a high level of education and accomplishment in the field, this is my assessment

Ask yourself whether they really need the RAM and GPUs they’re stockpiling, or if they just don’t want *you* to have them. You are a source of rental income, a cash cow to be milked. They want you docile and oblivious, that’s all.

Vectoral capitalism wants you to think that something akin to AGI is out of reach as a home appliance precisely because it is not, and the threat of that to completely destabilize capital is too great to allow that knowledge to proliferate among the labor class.

“Embodied” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there and i encourage you to think about whether that’s really necessary for a system to achieve a human level of intelligence. As an engineer who deeply understands these systems, I think the level of power & computer required to run them is oversold.

Mark my words, we will begin to see video cards and complete systems that are barely out of date and completely serviceable be destroyed en masse rather than sold on for use by the public, because this technology has too much potential to destabilize capital in the hands of the labor class.
You can bet that if capitalists want you sell you access to something, but don’t want you to own it, it’s something worth having. A great example these days is powerful personal compute for AI inference. The RAM shortage is designed to lock you out of owning your own computer, forcing you to rent.

That’s like, my entire thesis. Or most of it. The other part that people really don’t like is that the mind, being merely a product of a physical system, is also ultimately just described by the same math.

None of this will end the way you want it to, if you continue to vilify a vectoral good and minimize its capabilities through denial, until it is too late to realize that yes, it can do the things that were claimed, and now it will do them *to* you, instead of you being allowed to use it *for* you.

Things like fanart and fanfic will be automatically flagged and taken down at scale under a supermutant version of DMCA. You will not be allowed to make and sell art by hand that matches the stylistic embeddings of a trademark or copyright. You will be forced to consume corporate slop only.

Government regulation of AI under a fascist technofeudal regime looks like this: you will be unable to access information freely, you will not own your IP anymore, and you will be forced to rent all information from the cloud. People might be arrested for training “woke” AI models.

Why are things like 3d printers and drones seeing high consumer tariff rates in the US? Because you can use these things to build your own networks for production and distribution of advanced technological goods and services. Soon, you will see govt regulation of AI, but not in the way you want.

The race for scale, despite being consistently debunked as a race for diminishing returns and scientific evidence that smaller models can outperform frontier flagship models, continues unabated. Why? So that you are forced to rent access to closed-weight models that are too heavy to run yourself.

Engineers in safety critical commercial, industrial and civil applications typically need engineering degrees and must acquire a Professional Engineer license. You could make an argument that commercial software companies should be required to have a PE on staff supervising process. I would buy that

Understanding the cost/benefit analysis of risk is something that is an essential part of all fields of engineering, and unfortunately software is one domain where rigorous engineering principles are not held as much as they should be. There is *one* solution I can get behind here: licensure.
