    End commercial usage of LLMs? Honestly, I’m fine with that, why not. Don’t have to agree on the reason.

    I am not saying understanding the nature of consciousness better wouldn’t be great, but there’s so much research that deserves much more funding, and that isn’t really a LLM problem, but a systemic problem. And I just haven’t seen any convincing evidence current Models are conscious, and I don’t see how they could be, considering how they work.

    I feel like the last part is something the AI from the paperclip thought experiment would do.

      Drag isn’t saying they’re conscious either. A being doesn’t have to be conscious in order to suffer. Drag is perfectly capable of suffering while unconscious, and if you’ve ever had a scary dream, so are you. Drag thinks LLMs act like people who are dreaming. Their hallucinations look like dream logic.
