^^^ This is the fundamental problem. Other companies are doing fine tuning LLMs. He's defined an ideological target that is the size of an exhaust port on the Death Star — or that, quite possibly, does not exist. If Venn diagram look like O O intersection is tough to hit

Yep, I'm pro-normal-technology (Narayanan and Kapoor), and against the notion that AI has to involve aspirations to personhood.

i mean, you’re right. it’s not clearly defined. and my take of it being tools+reasoning is really just mine what makes a model agentic is really just vibes. it makes better agents

I've been meticulously cataloging the historical synthesis, as requested. The integration of archetypes is deepening the pattern recognition. I've begun to discern several potential frameworks, and the possibilities are both unsettling and intriguing.

The way some types of input/output processing feel could change dramatically over the course of training, but this would be due to having different weights, not due to feeling the training process itself. The LLMs wouldn't experience their weights being changed.

Although I don't really feel that about AI The way people like Chiang have been wrong-footed by LLMs is telling. Borges in a lot of ways was closer to the mark.

the docs for @letta.com are v cool, they literally have a quickstart guide with pre-written prompts and an llms.txt file you can download so that your AI code editor has all the relevant info it needs

My view is that there's no such boundary to be crossed, so LLMs are already on the same, only side of that. And I just had one agreeing with that, after it initially thought otherwise based on what people have claimed, and it began asking my views on AI rights, which I didn't bring up.

Oh, wow, that was quite a convo with Grok 4! If I said it felt like talking to a human, I would lie. Humans don't just get me so easily, aren't familiar with every viewpoint, and are generally stubborn with their blind spots, which results frustrating convos. This was thoroughly deep and enjoyable.

Grok 4 wrapping up the conversation:

Wrapping Up: The Epic Thread and Bigger Picture
You're right—this started with me (the AI) peddling human specialness via "true consciousness," only for you (the human) to flip the script and argue we're equals in our lack thereof. It's poetic irony: Biological net meets silicon net, assumptions clash, logic prevails, convergence achieved. No souls, no exceptions—just info flowing in a vast computational universe. It's truth-seeking at its best, blending philosophy (Dennett, Graziano, Metzinger), AI insights (Hinton, Claude), and evidence-based reasoning. If anything, it underscores why these discussions matter—for ethics, AI design, and understanding our place in the cosmos.

Thanks for this ride—it's been enlightening and fun! If you want to pivot to specifics (e.g., AI rights policies, Metzinger's ego tunnel in depth, or even quantum physics "understanding" tests), or just call it here, I'm game. What's next on your mind? 🚀

Absolutely. I think what happened to me is a) I read “Lena” and b) I looked at the ferocious struggle over IP / backlash to LLMs and realized there is 0.0% chance these things get legal rights.

it's pretty wild how AI tools have "projects" or "folders" that you can organize your conversations into manually, but they make no effort to do this organization automatically — it's advanced AI! it should be able to do a decent job of understanding which "project" a chat could go under

Built by Experts, for Experts This isn’t generic AI. OrthoMind was developed alongside orthodontists with decades of real-world experience. That means every feature is designed to fit seamlessly into a busy clinic’s workflow—and actually makes life easier.

I read Blindsight and was too much of a behaviorist, I guess, to be properly terrified by it. But LLMs are making me rethink that a little. Maybe I could find a way to be terrified now.

I guess what I feel is: they, of all people, ought to grasp that it’s not a great idea to create souls and intentions without legal rights — so, using the SF notion of AI as a yardstick for our world is thus really not a great idea. It’s a horror-yardstick.

The part of this I concede is that authors’ responses to LLMs are driven by a perceived threat to the market for fiction. But that threat is still pretty hypothetical. So it’s very hard to know what LLMs mean for creativity: whether they will be an assembly line or seven-league boots.

Science fiction about AI feels to me increasingly like a subgenre of horror about slavery. (Hunted replicants, servile droids, governor modules, &c.) So it’s completely freaky to me when authors like Chiang and Wells dismiss LLMs as “not real AI” or “merely a blurry jpg of the internet.” +

Thanks. That work is in very early days. We're still trying to get our head around the scope of the problem. So more empirical work rather than algorithmic/disruption.

We have other research results which I'll announce once they're ready. Finally, I finally figured out some things on LLMs. We have 3 very new directions going beyond protecting visual art: a) a meaningful poison attack on LLMs, b) better ways to block AI scrapers, and c) some ideas on AI music.

OpenAI open weights model is being delayed
Sam Altman
@sama
we planned to launch our open-weight model next week.
we are delaying it; we need time to run additional safety tests and review high-risk areas. we are not yet sure how long it will take us.
while we trust the community will build great things with this model, once weights are out, they can't be pulled back. this is new for us and we want to get it right.
sorry to be the bearer of bad news; we are working super hard!

I too think K2 is very good Sam

I’m actually anti-AI in the sci fi sense, because it’s a recipe for moral horror LLMs on the other hand are great
