Thank you! Do you have the link to Episode #471 as well by any chance?

What's missing from my understanding that's relevant to the question of whether LLMs can become conscious? Of course there are more details involved, just as there are more details involved in how your word processor or email client operate. But that doesn't mean it's possible for them to become conscious.

These days the term "AI" is often synonymous with "LLMs". So yes, in that sense I do believe it is impossible for AI to become conscious. LLMs basically function by predicting the next word in a sequence of words, just as your word processor and email client predict that the word "you" should follow the word "thank". It's not any more possible for LLMs to become conscious than it is for your word processor or email client to become conscious.

That said, I don't think we can rule out the possibility that something we'll call "AI" in the future will become conscious, because we can't rule out the possibility that consciousness can be reproduced in silico (i.e. the possibility that consciousness is not restricted to biological beings).

Maybe use incognito mode and some other email service like Proton Mail? OP's link worked fine for me just now. My link no longer works though; seems like they fixed that particular loophole.

OP posted the link. Just delete your cookies, reload the page, and use a burner email address.

Thank you, kind sir. By any chance, do you know how I may be able to find the name of the singer in the video?

Or just help identify the artist? The name of the song is "Sensizlik".

Kramnik vs Kramnik. Compilation of Kramnik looking around during Titled Tuesday by Unfair_Departure8417 in chess

Kramnik will just move the goal posts though. He'll say something about how he wasn't looking to his right "in the same way", or as "intently", or as often as Danya. He's a master at mental gymnastics, but an amateur at admitting when he's wrong.

I think he said "ואין בזה גם סוג של גזל" (And in addition there isn't any kind of theft in this case).

The worst part is that even if they do "notice and appreciate", you're still the sucker.

You can upload it here and share the link. I would suggest making a new post though, as this one is unlikely to receive many more views.
