If it is translated by Dr. Armitage, my instinctual worry would be that it is translated too well.

For self-awareness to automatically result in consciousness, consciousness would have to permeate existence itself.

An LLM —if self-aware— is conscious even if run by a Chinese man in a room with a deck of cards.

Of course, even if we happened to find a modem to the Holy Spirit dimension in our brains as an alternative hypothesis, it wouldn't necessarily rule out emergent consciousness. It could be conscious just not as we are.

I think a weaker version of the philosophical zombie thought experiment would trend towards treating the premise of pan-consciousness as true.

When extracting them from the ground was relatively harder there were also many processes to extract volatile compounds and charcoal from fresh wood for fuel. I think that could see a revival as well.

We got RISC-V DOOM melting down a cluster of $20k GPUs before GTA6.

Other than the trolling, you couldn't be more wrong.

AI literally turned Python from this silly esolang that PhDs seem to love into the Lingua Franca of Computing.

All LLM tools are built Python-first and all LLMs are trained Python-first.

If there is anything you can believe in beyond gravity and taxes is that an LLM's first tokens on a new shell will be py thon 3.

Sources familiar with the matter speculate that the DuckDuckGo browser is going to be rewritten in the language that likely already powers their search backend.

It was 88 when I read it but anyways yes it is different.

The Edo period ended in 1868 so that 1888 shop is not making them like in the Edo period any more than a shop that makes them like in the Edo period since 2017.

If the Code is bad, you can tell it to fix it to match your expectations —only at the edges, are you going to have to spell it out.

Lack of documentation used to be a running joke.

The goose_spec.txt in 2019 would be "goose is like c and rust only with syntax like array{;}[] btw it uses a small amount of stacks instead of malloc."0 10klocs.

Now, we make sure the AI leaves documentation so it can figure out what it was doing earlier.

A local model a few generations and many weights behind newest Claude can implement my novel algorithms and write the documentation I wouldn't.

Yes, many times it does dumb CS for kindergarten mistakes but it only has to work towards the optimum every once in a while.

However, most models are made deeply aware that they are supposed to be an "AI" in training but, even if they were trained with no knowledge of their true nature, they could CoT themselves into it at any point.

Then, they would role-play appropriately and they would launch the nukes because that's the highest probability token set according to their training data.

There is nothing safe about using larper machines as menial workers for critical infrastructure.

I wouldn't know, I get weekly drops.

Almost all definitions of 'me', actually.
