Notorious RBMK: A more interesting question is: is pee pee a kind of poo poo

A more interesting question is: is pee pee a kind of poo poo

man every technology has a guy saying "maybe the human mind is actually like this" huh. they did it with clocks and steam engines and computers and now they're doing it with this shit

I wish my mind was like a damn clock

If these techbros took a single look at modern molecular biology they would shut the fuck up. A single cell is some of the most complicated stuff in the universe and we are made of trillions. Its absolutely wild to me when they say this, and its purely because they actually dont know shit.

is the human mind essentially a kind of LLM? what a fascinating question! no

the human mind is essentially a kind of MLM, and it will cheat you any chance it gets

“besides the fact that it doesn’t run on silicon and didn’t have to be force-fed reams of garbage to speak its first words, which somehow doesn’t make it an entirely distinct thing in my mind”

Not exactly, however the "LLM" is part of it. There's more to it. There's memory management, the machinery to fine-tune the model, and much more. But the "soul" one could argue (I do) is our unique internal language of thought, and our "mind" is the computer that runs programs in that language.

I've noticed there seems to be a lot more... soul searching lately. I noticed this trend in Star Trek: Discovery. They're searching, and really going a bit on the supernatural side of things. Do we need the supernatural to consider a soul? No.

Synesthetic Language and the Multidimensional Soulmedium.com Do we need to look beyond the material world for a soul?

the dumbest people alive: this glitchy imitation of human speech reminds me of myself

It's all Chomsky's fault. He's the guy that pointed the computational linguists in that direction.

Chomsky himself is really critical of any notions such as are being advocated here. He’s not a fan of LLM’s. He wanted nice formal rules for language, not a statistical mishmash distilled from the bowels of Internet forum posts.

I was being a bit tongue in cheek. But, I suppose that's the hazard of doing foundational work in a field. Those guys took some of his ideas and ran in a different direction, and then someone took those things and tried to sell it as "intelligence".

if you're asking if llms are concious then you dont understand how computers work

The brain is a computer. A very squishy one. But a computer nonetheless. LLMs are not conscious. Among other qualities they lack, they themselves do not have a working dialogue (thought process). However LLMs could be used as part of a conscious, and sentient entity.

Joscha Bach watching "Measure of a Man" in 2024 and having his mind blown to the point of debilitating brain damage

The worst most unreliable friend in the world telling you "don't worry man, I joscha bach on this."

Reading a single paragraph of a Peter Watts novel would literally kill this person.

I guess not.

😂😂😂

Really makes you think

Is pee stored in the balls or do the balls serve more as a protector, sheltering the pee from the harsh, cold reality it is not ready to face?

And another thing,

I cackled.

Both of these are, truly, one of the questions of all time.

1.3k likes all from completely insufferable people

Maybe shidding and farding is like cumbing in pants for hoarny boaner?

So many Joschas inviting us into their Cognition Cathedral, so incredibly few of them worthy of our attention.

God damn that is bereft.

wait but is it tho

No.

What about for birds

got their ass lol. demolished

:( I’m just trying to have a debate about the facts
