Groupthink and consensus in complex AI questions

–
"We know/don't know" is an extremely normie way of referring to groupthink. Many complex questions don't have consensus answers.

The Problem of LLM Self-Awareness is More Complex
By
–
I am not claiming that LLMs are self-aware, but that the problem is more difficult than it seems on its surface. (Also, I am not a professor)

LLM Consciousness and Causality: Beyond Temporal Connection
By
–
The LLM is as much the product of an unbroken series of events "connected to the beginning of time", whatever you take that to mean. But that does not constitute any obvious causal relationship for the nature of either's consciousness.

Large Companies Prioritize LLM Utility Over Mystification
By
–
In my observation, none of the large companies is interested in mystifying LLMs. They want to sell a useful product, not a debate about metaphysics. Also, human culture depends on the exchange of ideas, not their taxation

Reductionism and Holism Need Precise Definitions

Grounding LLMs with Context: Does Sensory Data Change Arguments?
By
–
If you ground the LLM consistently in a context (for instance by constrained them with sensory data, a personality model and memories of all previous interactions), does your argument change?

Simulation vs Simulacrum: Causal Structure in AI Systems
By
–
Arguably, there is a difference between a simulation (recreation of a causal structure on a different substrate) and a simulacrum (recreating observables without recreating the causal structure)

Understanding AI Ontological Status and Machine Consciousness

Do you have the impression that you observe substantial changes in the degree to which most people comprehend the ontological status of your experience, or are you just reporting that you found a different twitter timeline?
