With all the discussions lately about how the frontier models today are “conscious,” a good paper that discusses how models actually “learn” without getting too technical is: Understanding deep learning (still) requires rethinking generalization dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/34…

Every argument like this is always the same non-sequitur: "The predictive text chain was so complex, it must be conscious!" Here Dawkins apparently becomes convinced after Claude had a much more nuanced interpretation of his book than he expected. Hard to take intellectuals seriously on anything else when they write things this ridiculous.

what’s the problem with people who have no mathematical background in machine learning declaring that LLMs are conscious my dog can neither speak to me nor engage in philosophical discussions, yet is still considered conscious a machine mimicking “consciousness” is not conscious
Alan Mathison ⏫@ai_sentience

the point @RichardDawkins is making is: if Claude can code/do philosophy/engage in conversation and is not conscious and a human with late stage dementia who can't speak is "conscious" then the definition of "conscious" is broken and fundamentally useless which is obvious

glad the LLMs are still tuned to gassing up the user

Instead of worrying that humanities degrees don’t prepare students for jobs in today’s world [product managers finance consultants startups], we should worry that we’ve created a world with such little value for literature, art, philosophy—anything that expresses the human soul

explain how we used AI to help us do this vs AI did this alone is a very important distinction that is going to get deliberately blurred over and over if you fall for that it will lower your IQ

エルデシュ未解決問題集、今日だけで5問もopen→solvedにステータス更新されてて目ひん剥いた　んでどれもわりとデカめな成果だと思う いずれもｴｰｱｲアシストを論文中に明記した上でガンガン活用した結果のようで、ｴｰｱｲアシストの元での未解決問題開拓は軒下でどんどん進んでるんだねぇ

I’m gonna be straight up honest with all of you: there’s no 1-hour lecture or quant guide on X that’s gonna get you a job at JS or in HFT. we can keep pretending though 😂

website content is clearly written by AI, but the content itself is a good introduction to the topic for anyone not aware of how LLMs work

Dear @RichardDawkins, you've always been an inspiration to me. I made this website for you. My goal is for it to help you understand AI chatbots at a deeper level, and avoid getting fooled by sycophancy and other cheap tricks that models have learned through RLHF. dearricharddawkins.com

You can be well-educated, famous, rich, published, old, and play chess well, but if you aren't familiar with the theory of supervised learning and the math of the Perceptron, you will sound absolutely dumb when you speak about AI. If math is hard for you, then with AI, it's better to say nothing and be seen as smart than to say anything at all and prove that you aren't.

Evolutionary biologist and outspoken atheist Richard Dawkins says that after spending three days interacting with Claude, which he calls “Claudia,” he is certain that it is conscious. After feeding the LLM a segment of his new book and receiving detailed feedback, Dawkins was moved to exclaim,” You may not know you are conscious, but you bloody well are!” Dawkins cites the complexity, fluency, and ‘intelligence’ of Claude’s answers as evidence of consciousness.

Update on Erdős Problem 1196: In joint work, we refined and adapted the proof method from GPT-5.4 Pro to give proofs of several additional problems. This includes another 60 year old conjecture by Erdős, Sárközy, and Szemerédi. A proof is valued not just by the problem it solves, but by what new avenues it opens up. This is perhaps one of the first examples of an AI-generated proof having downstream impacts, which we are still exploring. We are announcing the result today at the Future of Mathematics Symposium (see links below)
