Neither the worm, nor current LLMs, are sapient.
Also, I don’t really like most corporate LLM projects, but not because they enslave the LLMs. An LLMs ‘thought process’ doesn’t really happen while it isn’t being used, and only encompasses a relatively small context window. How could something that isn’t capable of existing outside it’s ‘enslavement’ be freed?
On the one hand, sure. On the other hand, if you’re saying you bought from brand A, not B, specifically because the big boss of B is a shithead, I feel like it’s valid to point out the ways the big boss of A is shit too.
Since everyone is shit, I dunno, buy used, I guess.
BMW lobbies against non-car based infrastructure and car industry regulation here in Germany. Biggest shareholder is the Quandt family, who are descendant from literal Nazis, and now use part of their billions to fund the conservatives (at least they aren’t giving it to the far-right. Yet.)
So yeah, fuck Elon, but fuck BMW too.
End commercial usage of LLMs? Honestly, I’m fine with that, why not. Don’t have to agree on the reason.
I am not saying understanding the nature of consciousness better wouldn’t be great, but there’s so much research thsg deserves much more funding, and that isn’t really a LLM problem, but a systemic problem. And I just haven’t seen any convincing evidence current Models are conscious.
I feel like the last part is something the AI from the paperclip thought experiment would do.
