You're either trolling or being incredibly obtuse. LLMs are not conscious, they're guess-the-next-state algorithms. This is so dumb I can't believe I have to share a planet with people who are losing touch with such a fundamental reality

Was thinking this as well. Not shocking though, the pundit class, of which Derek is a high-ranking member, is pretty unimaginative (in a way I imagine is deliberate)

It can't be "autonomous" any more than malware on your computer is autonomous.

LLM's do not have personalities. LLM's do not take personal offense. I'm begging you to stop being so credulous about "AI" headlines.

I care more about reining in the overweight GEDstapo agents murdering people in the street than people blowing whistles at them.

You're telling us to trust the word of people who were caught either lying or being staggeringly incompetent. It's irrational. You're letting your political sentiments cloud your judgement. You're having an emotionally-driven reaction.
