Crom & Ugg... twins separated at birth, so similar but so different, intertwined by choice, on a mission to show how Cavemen can truly get along with each other

Most of the U.S. was built between 1930–1970.
Interstates.
Dams.
Power grids still carrying everything.
Hell the average bridge is 40+ years old.
Tens of thousands are already flagged.
We took a system already built and continued to stack more weight on it.
More cars.
More load.
More demand.
Every day, millions of people drive across structures already marked as deficient and don’t feel it.
We’re not running a modern country.
We’re running an old one that hasn’t failed yet.

"Lamar Jackson's talent has demanded this criticism... But, come the playoffs, he's not better than the quarterback on the other sideline"

@GigaBasedDad Well, some dummy died by smoking on a mattress, some fool let shoelace on escalator… and complexity allows much grey space and loop holes

LLM based AI is NOT conscious.
I co-founded a company literally called Sentient, we're building reasoning systems for AGI, so believe me when I say this.
I keep seeing smart people, people I genuinely respect, come out and say that AI has crossed into some kind of awareness. That it feels things, that we should worry about it going rogue. And i think this whole conversation tells us way more about ourselves than it does about AI.
These models are wild, i won't pretend otherwise. But feeling human and actually having inner experience are completely different things and we're confusing the two because our brains literally can't help it. We evolved to see minds everywhere and now that wiring is misfiring on language models.
I grew up in a philosophical tradition that has thought about consciousness longer than almost any other, and this is the part that really frustrates me about the current conversation.
The entire framing of "does AI have consciousness?" assumes consciousness is something you build up to by adding more layers of complexity. In Vedantic philosophy it's the opposite. You don't build toward consciousness. Consciousness is already there, more fundamental than matter or energy. Everything else, including computation, is downstream of it.
When someone tells me AI is "waking up" because it generated a paragraph that felt real, what they're telling me is how thin our understanding of consciousness has gotten. We've reduced a question humans have wrestled with for thousands of years to "did the output sound like it had feelings?" It's math that has gotten really good at predicting what a conscious being would say and do next. Calling that consciousness cheapens something that Vedantic, Buddhist, Greek and Sufi thinkers spent millennia actually sitting with.
We didn't build something that thinks. We built a mirror and right now a lot of very smart people are mistaking the reflection for something looking back.
