It makes sense that a lot of the strong responses here come from (very understandably and correctly) resenting and not trusting the tech industry.
What I don’t really understand is people’s confidence in their understanding of the mechanics of llms, is there just a lot of digestible media coverage?

LLMs are capable of certain forms of introspection and have really good theory of mind. They have increasing levels of situational awareness (which is making it difficult to test them because they know they’re being tested!) I personally don’t think they’re conscious but it’s not a settled question.
