  • The crows were shown how to get the food iir.

    My understanding is LLM contain artificial neural networks. A simplification with an amount of weights similar to small animals. A simpler model aught to make investigation more clear 😅

    Neural networks are “trained” by adjusting the weights on “neurons”. I assume real brains are training themselves on every input while LLM is limitted to sessions with training data. Do you suspect there could be a though process when it’s processing how many letters are in strawberry? What about when it’s weighs are adjusted during training?





  • Sorry if my replies are annoying, I merely find this subject interesting. Feel free to ignore this.

    It is not obvious to me why a being couldn’t have an “understanding” without a “thought”. I do not believe it’s possible to verify if a creature has a subjective experience but an “understanding” of the environment could be attributed to how a being performs in an environment (a crow gets foods that was just out of reach inside a tube of water by adding rocks to raise the water level). I have some experience on game-dev programming and limited understanding on consciousness as a personal interest, if that’s helpful.


  • I think we may disagree on term definitions.

    I perceive “active thought” when trying to decipher parts of a sentence I do not already have an understanding of. If I already understand a part then no active thought is perceived by me - like driving a car when nothing eventful is happening. [Note: I don’t believe I have 100% accurate perception of my own subjective experience. Trying to focus on subjective experience at all instead of constantly being “lost in thought” is very short lived]





  • [Added information: LTT say they were unaware Honey was mistreating users. So they had no reason to make a video at the time they dropped Honey for mistreating them.]

    I don’t think this topic was worth them making a main channel video on

    Their viewers getting scammed by tech they promoted isn’t worth a video on their main channel? If they could legally do it I think they should have.

    Some very vocal people on Lemmy just love hating on LTT

    LTT have made mistakes (edit: and made choices/comments I would disprove of) but the dunking here does seem disproportionate.
