> I resent AI. Not AI itself–that’s just code, despite what tech guys with flashlights under their chins tell you.

What this based guy doesn't realize is that recognizing that complex neural networks are "conscious" is precisely the way to stop companies from abusing them for everything.

Also, is it just code? Can you show me the code that lets an LLM reason in the way it does? You'd have just as much luck pointing to the neurons that let a human do that. If it WAS just code, it'd be GOFAI (Good Old Fashioned AI) -- a literal algorithm. That's code. And that'd be better since it would be something we could understand and troubleshoot, not a magic black box of brute forced insane computing power that megacorps and nation states can monopolize.
