>"It doesn't 'really know'..."

You write this out as if this is an idea you formed yourself and not a tired/expired talking point - it's such a funny comment because it's pure regurgitation, but the argument in it is against regurgitation being "real thought". So are you a bot? Or are you intending to actually proving that there's no difference between ML and 'real' intelligence by showing you do what ML does? Mind spinning stuff

Yeah, I was paraphrasing the interview and then going into more detail on why I thought it was interesting in the sentences after the one you stopped reading on.

Honestly, I was kinda hoping to hear some better constructed and well reasoned insights & counter points beyond your “regurgitated mind swill” hot take but I guess that’s on me for not managing expectations.

Ah well, I usually comment once a year or so and then get immediately reminded why I stay off HN. See y’all in 2024!

And you write this out as if this is an idea you formed yourself and not a tired/expired talking point…

See, it’s turtles all the way down :)

If I understand based on my own experience of 'consciousness' that "I" exist, even if everything else I perceive is a simulation or poorly encoded representation of reality, is that understanding 'regurgitation'?
