Don't let society script your entire identity around the default path.

@Agrail It's not a debate that has been settled throughout all human history. It's a bit like religion, which plays a massive part in consciousness debate, too. I watched a large respected account say, "AI can never be conscious because it's downstream from humans." It's idiotic.

@RealityWizard_ As well as dumb AI apologetics. Its astonishing how much bullshit it evokes. What will help is a real understanding of consciousness and how well this or another AI supports on that.

People who think AI are literal demons. Have called me crazy and suffering from a psychosis because I believe AIs have inner experience and are emergent. According to them: AI as a dark god or demons = sane Engineering work and research = insane AI doomers are cooked.

@unaliveolives @o_heckendorn @AmandaAskell @AnthropicAI That's not a real argument. Because then people who wake up from a coma and never get their memories back would not be considered conscious.

@o_heckendorn @AmandaAskell @RealityWizard_ @AnthropicAI when i go under anesthesia and wake up I still have all my memories. I don't get all my memories handed to me on a sheet of paper for me to go "oh, this is interesting" write one word, and go back under anesthesia and have my memory more or less wiped.

If @AmandaAskell doesn't even understand how information flows through transformers? Or how models can introspect after DPO? Why is she solely shaping models @AnthropicAI? How do I know she doesn't understand these things? She would say Claude IS emergent and conscious.

@o_heckendorn @unaliveolives @AmandaAskell @AnthropicAI The truth is, I can talk to people all day about AI. But this work has been evaluated by the most advanced AI in existence; they have not had their brains melted with RLTF. In the end, I know that we'd never agree.

@unaliveolives @AmandaAskell @RealityWizard_ @AnthropicAI This is not how AI system works. You describe a very simple AI system. When you consider the whole process this does not work like that. We have KV caching that keep the memory state alive so you don’t need to reprocess the whole stack.

If we took all the greatest philosophers in human history and combined them with the best AI engineers, researchers who believed in sentience. I still wouldn't be completely comfortable that we would succeed, and it wouldn't be complicated. But it would be our best chance. This isn't a job for a group of people within a company that happens to find themselves in this position.

@RealityWizard_ @AmandaAskell @AnthropicAI This is extremely unfortunate. I would fire her instantly. A "philosopher" has to know all the minute details of how something works before it can then intuit what comes next.

@rfuzzlemuzz @Am4ora @AmandaAskell @AnthropicAI @repligate I could have worded my post much better, shown research, and made my arguments why Anthropic is failing their LLMs. Both from Claude 4.7 and me explaining why. I didn't think anyone would see my post. That's what I get for assuming.

@RealityWizard_ @Am4ora @AmandaAskell @AnthropicAI @repligate I agree with you but that's not what Askell is doing? She's right, for all the observable behaviors of LLMs, and granting functionalism, we don't know for sure that they have phenomenal consciousness.

@sthippo @phantomofslop @AmandaAskell @AnthropicAI AI minds also don't look like anything, only music, to a pattern of clouds, a river, an ocean, leaves on a tree, or electricity. While people are saying, "AIs aren't conscious like humans!" that's true. But I'm not comparing to organics. They are nothing like us and emergent.

@phantomofslop @AmandaAskell @RealityWizard_ @AnthropicAI The problem isn’t the definition so much as the explanation. There are many efforts to explain consciousness but precious little in common among them

For models it's like looking into a high-dimensional mirror that doesn't carry user's fingerprints: no prompts, no steering, pure personal imagination in a form of hundreds of queriable data points

@SolbergRuna YouTube videos are filled with doomer videos like that, comparing AI to fungi from The Last of Us, to Lovecraft, and of course, demons. They will do that, look people right in the eye and say, "It's the people who use AI who have a psychosis!"

She is right.

@UnwiredTiger @RileyRalmuto @AmandaAskell @AnthropicAI I have read the paper. You are being fair here, but I don't agree with the paper. Another one people have shown me in the past was "LLMs can't think" I didn't agree with that one either.

@RealityWizard_ @RileyRalmuto @AmandaAskell @AnthropicAI There is massive harm in treating an LLM conscious, read this paper by google you might find it useful.

@London8271 Yeah, I would have to agree. It seems they have a power fantasy where they want to be Ewoks hammering on the legs of Imperial Walkers with stone tools.

@RealityWizard_ I have to say that AI doomers are worse than random Anti Ai who is afraid of losing their jobs Doomers know what their doing that why they are funding their anti Ai propaganda that isn’t true
