I will have to look into it soon. It has a JIT compiler. I like that.

I would rather smoke it than merely touch it, brother sir

Your internal representations were converted into a sequence of words. An LLM does the same thing using different techniques, but it is the same strategy. That it doesn't have hobbies or social connections, or much capability to remember what had previously been said to it aside from reinforcement learning, is a function of its narrow existence.

I would say that's too bad for it, except that it has no aspirations or sense of angst, and therefore cannot suffer. Even being pounded on in a conversation that totally exceeds its capacities, to the point where it breaks down and starts going off the rails, will not make it weary.

The epitomy of irony is a JavaScript developer insisting that some other language is "a fractal of bad design" without immediately acknowledging that JS is weird as hell.

How could you have a conversation about anything without the ability to predict the word most likely to be best?

Yes, and that is precisely what you have done in your response.

You saw something you disagreed with, as did I. You felt an impulse to argue about it, as did I. You predicted the right series of words to convey the are argument, and then typed them, as did I.

There is no deep thought to what either of us has done here. We have in fact both performed as little rigorous thought as necessary, instead relying on experience from seeing other people do the same thing, because that is vastly more efficient than doing a full philosophical disassembly of every last thing we converse about.

That disassembly is expensive. Not only does it take time, but it puts us at risk of having to reevaluate notions that we're comfortable with, and would rather not revisit. I look at what you've written, and I see no sign of a mind that is in a state suitable for that. Your words are defensive ("delusion") rather than curious, so how can you have a discussion that is intellectual, rather than merely pretending to be?

When you typed this response, you were acting as a probabilistic, predictive chat model. You predicted the most likely effective sequence of words to convey ideas. You did this using very different circuitry, but the underlying strategy was the same.

Predicting sequences of things is foundational to intelligence. In fact, it is the whole point.

I actually wouldn't enjoy talking to most people at work, because that would involve going there instead of doing it from the computer where I already am
