Superintelligence by Nick Bostrom, Professor in the Faculty of Philosophy & Oxford Martin School and Director & Future of Humanity Institute & University of Oxford
While LLMs are designed to emulate human-like responses, this does not mean that this analogy extends to the underlying cognition giving rise to those responses
Testing theory of mind in large language models and humans - Nature Human Behaviour
“Can machines be therapists?” is a question receiving increased attention given the relative ease of working with generative artificial intelligence. Although recent (and decades-old) research has found that humans struggle to tell the difference between responses from machines and humans, recent findings suggest that artificial intelligence can...

My guess is that, similar to pornography, people will dabble in private and speak very little, if anything, of it.
A weekend’s work to turn a podcast into a chatbot…the opportunities that are just beginning to emerge make my brain hurt. In the best possible way…
Observing these patterns of influence gives clues about how our models generalize from their training data. For instance, if the models responded to user prompts by splicing together sequences from the training set, then we’d expect the influential sequences for a given model response to include expressions of near-identical thoughts. Conversely,... See more

Memorization vs learning concepts and forming models of the world.
If the Tech Right sees this fight as the inevitable march of progress, the Populist Right is writing an entirely different anthem. Nowhere is this more visible than in Tennessee, where Governor Bill Lee signed the ELVIS Act, a landmark law recognizing an artist’s voice and likeness as a protected property right, specifically to block unauthorized...
