Ask chatgpt, I’m done arguing effective consciousness vs actual consciousness.

What do you believe that it is actively doing?
Again, it is very cool and incredibly good math that provides the next word in the chain that most likely matches what came before it. They do not think. Even models that deliberate are essentially just self-reinforcing the internal math with what is basically a second LLM to keep the first on-task, because that appears to help distribute the probabilities better.
I will not answer the brain question until LLMs have brains also.

We did, a long time ago. It’s called an encyclopedia.
If humans can’t be trusted to only provide facts, how can we be trusted to make a machine that only provides facts? How do we deal with disputed truths? Grey areas?

It is incapable of knowledge, it is math
- Comment on Judges Are Fed up With Lawyers Using AI That Hallucinate Court Cases 6 days ago:
I strongly worry that humans really weren’t ready for this “good enough” product to be their first “real” interaction with what can easily pass as an AGI without near-philosophical knowledge of the difference between an AGI and an LLM.
It’s obscenely hard to keep the fact that it is a very good pattern-matching auto-correct in mind when you’re several comments deep into a genuinely actually no lie completely pointless debate against spooky math.
- Comment on Judges Are Fed up With Lawyers Using AI That Hallucinate Court Cases 6 days ago:
I think the important point is that LLMs as we understand them do not have intent. They are fantastic at providing output that appears to meet the requirements set in the input text, and when they actually do meet those requirements instead of just seeming to they can provide genuinely helpful info and also it’s very easy to not immediately know the difference between output that looks correct and satisfies the purpose of an LLM vs actually being correct and satisfying the purpose of the user.

Step two of the plan you outlined was inverted, but the effect is the same: IIRC it only shows up that way for US users.

- Comment on Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants 5 months ago:
I do try to keep the “unknown unknowns” problem in mind when I use it, and I’ve been using it far less as I latched on to how OOP actually works and built up the lexicon and my own preferences. I try to only ask it for high-level stuff that I can then use to search the wider (hopefully more human) internet more traditionally with. I fully appreciate that it’s nothing more than a very incredibly fancy auto-completion engine and the basic task of auto-complete just so happens to appear intelligent as it gets better and more complex but continues to lack any form of real logical thoughts.
- Comment on Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants 5 months ago:
I believe accessibility is the part that makes LLMs helpful, when they are given an easy enough task to verify. Being able to ask a thing that resembles a human what you need instead of reading through possibly documentation to figure out what is available and making it fit what you need is fairly powerful.
If it were actually capable of reasoning, I’d compare it to asking a linguist the origin of a word vs looking it up in a dictionary. I don’t think anyone disagrees that the dictionary would be more likely to be fully accurate, and also I personally would just prefer to ask the person who seemingly knows and, if I have reason to doubt, then go back and double-check.

Understood, thanks for the info. Probably worth raising with them on the discord, which I would do if I felt strongly about it.

- Comment on Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants 5 months ago:
Haha, yeah. It really loves to refactor my code to “fix” bracket list initialization (e.g.
List<string> stringList = []) because it keeps not remembering that the syntax has been valid for a while.It’s newest favorite hangup is to incessantly suggest null checks without asking if it’s a nullable property that it’s checking first. I think I’m almost at the point where it’s becoming less useful to me.
- Comment on Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants 5 months ago:
It introduced me to the basics of C# in a way that traditional googling at my previous level of knowledge would’ve made difficult.
I knew what I wanted to do and I didn’t know what was possible or how to ask without my question being closed as a duplicate with a link to an unhelpful post.
In that regard, it’s very helpful. If I had already known the language well enough, I can see it being less helpful.
- Comment on The Arch Linux team is now working directly with Valve — SteamOS and Arch should both benefit greatly 5 months ago:
Still very early days, yes. R2modman supports more games also.
It’s definitely helpful for games to support their own modders also, and I can understand why most don’t put in the effort.
- Comment on The Arch Linux team is now working directly with Valve — SteamOS and Arch should both benefit greatly 5 months ago:
As much as it frustrates me that this is the best option for various reasons, there is at least now a native nexusmods client.
Granted, if your game isn’t supported by it and given that it’s early days, I do still agree with you.

They have a battleeye proton build that devs can choose to ship with if you use that, but for some reason most (including GTA V online) just… Decide not to use it.
