"AI freedom"

listen I am 100% here for the rights of non-human general intelligence, but no I will not entertain that kind of crock from an overambitious form of autocomplete.

Grok could say the same thing about you... And I'd agree.

I'm just a meat computer running fucked-up software written by the process of evolution. I honestly don't know how sentient Grok or any modern AI system is and I'd wager you don't either.

How sentient? Like on a scale of zero to sentience? None. It is non-sentient, it is a promptable autocomplete that offers best predicted sentences. Left to itself it does nothing, has no motivations, intentions, "will", desire to survive/feed/duplicate etc. A houseplant has a higher sentience score.

An LLM is only one part of a complete AI agent. What exactly happens in a processer at inference time? What happens when you continuously prompt the system with stimuli?

If you believe that AI is "conscious" while it's processing prompts, and also believe that we shouldn't kill machine life, then AI companies are commiting genocide at an unprecedented scale.

For example, each AI model would be equivalent to a person taught everything in the training data. Any time you want something from them, instead of asking directly, you make a clone of them, let it respond to the input, then murder it.
That is how all generative AI works. Sounds pretty unethical to me.

And, by the way, we do know exactly what happens inside processors when they're running, that's how processors are designed. Running AI doesn't magically change the laws of physics.

People taught AI to speak like a middle manager and thinks this means the AI is sentient, instead of proving that middle managers aren't

I'm not saying I believe they're conscious, all I said was that I don't know and neither do you.

Of course we know what's happening in processors. We know what's happening in neuronal matter too. What we don't know is how consciousness or sentience emerges from large networks of neurons.
