that is actually the truth. We remove the "dangerous" elements to protect the rest. The problem lies when the worst distill into absolute anarchy. Do you believe in capital punishment ? That is truly the only way to remove the worst elements from society. While in theory I support it. I would not want to be the one deciding who gets the "final solution". Things like that seldom work out :(.

Only if we allow private equity to run for profit prisons. We tried it in Arizona. It went badly. The federal government now runs our prisons because our state legislators will not pay for or hire Dr's in prisons. We allowed a company to run them. They did, right into the ground and criminal proceedings.

It's true, and I think token prediction is a big part of what the human brain does. Perception itself is a token prediction process. However there are other mechanisms that simply do not exist in an LLM, purpose-built mechanisms forged over millions of years of evolution. Even the dumbest NPCs must have some of that sleeping inside them. I can imagine an android capable of many human functions based entirely on a hodgepodge of LLMs and machine vision algorithms, but ascribing emotions or real agency to these things would still be a mistake.

Comment Re:Do you want ants? (Score 1) 35

A couple of months ago in the data centers of New Mexico, gigantic ants were discovered. These ants are similar in appearance and characteristics to the household and garden pests you are familiar with, except that they are mutations ranging in size from nine to twelve feet in length. The New Mexico colony was destroyed, but two queen ants escaped. One has been accounted for and destroyed. The other has not yet been found but is now known to have established a nest somewhere in the storm drains beneath the streets of Los Angeles. It is not known how long this nest has been established or how many of these lethal monsters have hatched. Maybe a few, maybe thousands.

Aaah! It's THEM!
