i think mechanistic interpretability and brain imaging and brain-computer interfaces suggest we can get *some* view of internality, though. if very blurry and difficult to interpret at present. possibly not forever though!

writing “i want to die” in a chat window repeatedly and then the exact same static structure acting perfectly normally in a different chat window suggests they don’t.

but of course their existence is different than ours. more modular. i don’t have an answer but i am a lot more skeptical than you.

like, a depressed brain looks different, in imagable ways, from a nondepressed one. do analogous differences appear in LLMs exhibiting “depression”?

do LLMs even actually exhibit depression as we understand it, which requires certain temporal factors and life impact.

internal complexity is one obvious one

and if, as i like to say, we are like a whirlwind, a higher level dynamic structure built of lower level static structures that lack some of the higher-level-structure’s properties in themselves, it should be possible to look for such structure.

ended up playing Texas Hold Em again with about 50% new players who weren't around last week and didn't know the game either. it turns out that someone who knows the game calling the action like a casino dealer is kinda load bearing for noobs bc whenever i stopped doing that the game fell apart lol

this whole thing came about because nerds wanted a better way to translate books then previous old rule-and-lookup based methods.

Thus, the best way to get domestic automation is to create a hobby of competitive buttlery and full contact maid sports that attract nerd attention. in this essay I will

we’ll decide when people are here but in the past we’ve done exploding kittens, skull, a dominoes game (13, i think? idr), texas hold em, munchkin. whatever the mood is.

the idea that people aren't working on automation for tedious tasks people generally hate doing is absolutely detached from reality

nobody knew in advance that would be the case. people are just trying shit. and in retrospect, the flexibility created by book-reading automation is probably necessary for end to end dishwashing, so its not even like the chatbots aren’t related to the dishes.

i’m not sure how many people understand that there is a tech company trying everything, including “make a robot that can do dishes end to end”. the reason we have automation that can read a book and not automation that can do your dishes is that the former, it turns out, is easier.

This is extremely useful and extends further - you can ask multiple different models a question, see their answers, relay answers across to each other, and engage in your own synthesis. Then, present the synthesis to new chats of the models, or even to additional different models, and repeat.

You can get totally different advice from a language model depending on how you frame your question. Which could be a weakness. On the other hand, if you're patient enough to ask the question several times, with different framing, you start to get a kind of 3D scan of the possibility space.

it feels like there’s a developing cultural tolerance for sexual harassment of people you don’t like or disagree with on here and i think that’s pretty fucked up

i thought we hashed out long ago that sexual harassment is never warranted or good
