Okay I'm convinced, I'll feed it into an ai

randomly remembering i read somewhere someone discovered there was codes that could trigger something, maybe GPT-4? or something, to signify something that was an internal pattern in the model, and alter its behaviour.

that made me think of the fact that words are codes and coding theory is a whole very interesting branch of mathematics.

i wonder if the semantic graphs in the models bind concepts to numbers also, because i know there is relations between specific numbers and specific concepts due to the inherent geometric patterns that are associated with some particular thing or phenomena, cos those "cheat codes" i saw mention of were numbers.

it's quite an interesting and fascinating point about the tech: how it works exactly is still not understood completely. for example, it was only just last year Anthropic determined from testing that LLMs go through a conceptual remapping phase when doing translations.

like, idk about you but even though it's "artificial" - quite clearly there is a lot about the tech that is the opposite, emergent, original, that we don't even know is in there yet!

Indeed, there's something spooky about it. Still just a complicated calculator, but its a step closer to something more.

Here's an idea. Neurons store some biological version of bits, then connect and relay their bits of memories and some kind of emergent structure forms consciousness on top of that. So simulate a mass of neurons, either virtually or directly on silicon as physical chips, then have a different computer run an LLM but have its outputs be the inputs for the simulated mass of neurons, and then have whatever the neural mass outputs be the new input to the LLM for its next run iteration.

Maybe sentience could emerge from that? Or something closer, and then you'd adjust guardrails and stops with code at the point of exchange.

Idk, best I can do is abstractly imagine a flow. Y'all coders will do the real work, :p

the thing is that it's a very useful technology, and this narrative about "replacing people" is a very dishonest and misanthropic description of the creative destruction of markets. yes, it does make some jobs more or less obsolete. but everyone's responsible for securing their own survival. if you delegate that to someone else, you will not be incluuded in the decisions that will affect you, and likely that's going to be bad for both your lifespan and your potential future offspring.

Yep. This is why its important to get people on land and end this mortgage business, and the whole usury business. Fiat disempowers people, and it will definitely cause human extinction, unless we return humanity to humanity. To be fully human is to be fully empowered. A person can own the machines and build better machines forever, but a person with no space to do it or no rights in their space is just an expense that will be cut. Humanity requires property. No property, no humans. Machines are just steps in the process, be that an upward and outward progression or a downward descent into extinction.
