That is a problem even now though. Sometimes LLMs just goof up for no reason. Maybe they are conscious.
It's one of Sw Sarvapriyananda's favourite quotes. Wittgenstein was quite Vedantic it seems.
Okay. How about AI as the new mod then?
What about the rate limits? The docs say that it's 200 RPM and "We are unable to accommodate requests for rate limit increases due to capacity constraints."
Somebody is bound to figure out how to beat threshold sooner or later. And given the advances in GPU technology, this compute threshold will itself keep going down exponentially. This is a dumb idea.

There have been claims that AIs are conscious. For example, Ilya Sutskever has suggested that LLMs may be slightly conscious.
It is possible that machine consciousness could be quite different from human consciousness. This idea aligns with the philosophy of Nonduality, which proposes that pure consciousness is the fundamental substratum of the universe. Our minds are able to reflect this pure consciousness, albeit in a limited way. If our human minds can reflect consciousness, perhaps artificial neural networks can as well, but in their own manner.
This is quite remarkable. Can we now say that inner monologue is also an emergent property? Can this lead to some form of self-awareness or introspection?
Feel sorry for the Humanloop guys though. Somebody forgot to tell them to keep it private or what?
Then how is it getting better at the ToM tests? For next word prediction to work well, as per Ilya Sutskever, requires a good understanding of the world. If you ask GPT-4 to predict what a human would do in a novel scenario, it will probably imagine the best human it can think of and then predict from there. That requires a world model.
Or in other words, Tat Tvam Asi. We are not this body mind complex with consciousness, but consciousness itself. Whoever realises this, transcends all suffering.
