This is mostly tongue-in-cheek but takes like this make me believe in the idea of philosophical zombies. Besides the obvious grift and engagement bait there are such incredulous rubes out there, even in "tech" circles like Hacker News that should know better.
I am once again asking STEMlords to take a Philosophy 101 class
You don't even need a philosophy 101 class, just a basic understanding of how these things work.
An LLM saying it's gonna take over the world is the equivalent of a municipal bus system saying it's gonna win the Indy 500.
The sheer amount of infrastructure required to run an LLM is insane, and even the best can barely even run a vending machine.
Or even just pay attention and stop looking at their goddamn phones in the middle of their fucking STEM classes. They ran a text-generating algorithm with shitty sci-fi novels in its ‘training’ database and the algorithm generated text similar to those same shitty sci-fi novels. This isn’t exactly difficult to understand stuff.
Just take critique of descartes dualism or more involved critiques of jung, you are fucking tech guys why on earth are you idealists of lowest order, be at least structuralists
