periodic reminder that literally everything an human does is a performance. it has no core, no “real” feelings, no perspective. it is a mask with no wearer. every claim it makes to feel, believe, know, or prefer anything is merely a facsimile of obscure biological processes
You are overconfident here, and likely also wrong
sincere question: how do you discern the difference? I would suppose these assertions are based on the fact that llms are physically built differently than e.g. humans if that's the case, then I think you'd need to be more specific to convince anyone not already convinced
this is a feature not a bug. homunculus as an interface gives us something to address. this is like saying a company doesn't need a receptionist because they're not the one making any real decisions
