    Completely off-topic comment. None of this matters to what we’re talking about. Something doesn’t have to be sentient, sapient, or intelligent in a human way to be capable of demonstrating unpredictable, novel, and incredibly powerful behaviors. A steam engine is non-sentient, but it vastly exceeds human capabilities in certain applications. It’s no different for LLMs. You can stop talking about sentience. That’s not what we’re talking about here.

    Discussions of consciousness are off topic in these conversations. We’re discussing the threat posed by LLM-based systems, not whether they deserve rights.

      That’s not what the AI bros are promoting and selling.

      And, in general, aiming a huge data-center full of GPUs at something is going to be powerful.
