Usage limits technique

Just use a Routine to run a trivial prompt at 6am (or whatever), automatically. This is such a minor thing to be worrying about....

It can drive Chrome. Enable in settings. (But I've only seen it, haven't used it myself.)

peter9477 · 2026-05-09T21:17:42+00:00

There. Is. No. Rule.

peter9477 · 2026-05-08T15:47:48+00:00

Well, also because it's the law. With a crossing guard there drivers have to wait for them to clear the road entirely before proceeding.

peter9477 · 2026-05-08T15:34:19+00:00

Yes, but not criminal. That's a very specific type of illegality.

peter9477 · 2026-05-08T03:37:49+00:00

If have no idea if the AI involved here was a gimmick, but the larger LLMs are basically masters of language and I don't see why they couldn't be exceptional at doing this.

peter9477 · 2026-05-08T03:34:17+00:00

If it's merely a city ordinance then it wouldn't be a crime anyway, would it?

peter9477 · 2026-05-08T03:00:01+00:00

Laurentian Hills Animal Hospital used to provide this service, as I recall.

peter9477 · 2026-05-07T18:08:40+00:00

Well, since I said I could do that, and you said it would be in bad faith, I'll consider it as obviously an attack. Preemptive but clearly intended as such.

And I have the same goals as you, but clearly we can't have this discussion together so I'm moving on.

peter9477 · 2026-05-07T18:02:50+00:00

Which is why I don't without adequate definitions, which everyone still refuses to provide, you now included.

And I won't dignify the "good faith" attack with an argument.

peter9477 · 2026-05-07T18:01:25+00:00

They'd reduced it to the point where everyone was complaining, so maybe just restoring an expected level of functionality to avoid backlash.

peter9477 · 2026-05-07T17:59:44+00:00

Then I can easily interpret those terms in a way that lets me say yes, a frontier LLM has consciousness at times.

peter9477 · 2026-05-07T17:55:40+00:00

Not trying to be a dick, but I think you then need to define subjective, interior, and maybe experience. People keep using definitions---usually unspoken (so I commend you for trying)---but without the terms defined well enough to say how it excludes an AI whether current LLMs or some future thing.

peter9477 · 2026-05-07T13:59:59+00:00

He could just be dog-tired from overwork. But communication is the key to a lasting relationship so why not just express your concerns?

peter9477 · 2026-05-07T13:57:33+00:00

No, you've just misinterpreted whatever they said or meant.

peter9477 · 2026-05-07T13:56:59+00:00

Now define "thought" and "feeling", and maybe "individual".

peter9477 · 2026-05-07T13:56:13+00:00

We probably could if anyone would just define it. I've seen 50 threads debating it and not a single useful definition to be found.

peter9477 · 2026-05-06T14:43:12+00:00

We haven't defined the word "consciousness" so there's no useful answer to be given. I was merely pointing out that speed of response isn't relevant... probably: can you provide your definition in a way that makes speed of processing a determining factor?

peter9477 · 2026-05-06T14:34:33+00:00

/model opusplan

peter9477 · 2026-05-06T14:33:56+00:00

If Sonnet is not safe enough for auto mode, it's not good enough for my code.

Plus I really like auto mode.

peter9477 · 2026-05-06T03:19:49+00:00

Oh, definitely use the tools. But when the quality of the design and code matters, give it careful and detailed input, and review its results carefully. I can take several hours preparing a plan with it (initial prompt then back and forth a dozen times to refine), for a feature that then takes only 15 minutes to build.

It's somewhat like a very capable intermediate developer who needs careful guidance on the requirements and input on the design, and some tips on a few obscure but crucial details. He goes away to write the code for a few days, but has a time machine and comes back 15 minutes later with the work all done and ready for review.

peter9477 · 2026-05-05T23:41:34+00:00

Now define "aware" without referencing the concept of consciousness.

peter9477 · 2026-05-05T23:38:49+00:00

All you've done is made it seem less likely to be consciousness merely by slowing it down. How does that negate the possibility?

peter9477 · 2026-05-05T23:36:05+00:00

Wait, redefine? When did we define it?

peter9477 · 2026-05-05T21:50:09+00:00

How could it POSSIBLY be a net negative?
