When I talk to LLMs I don't just see them as the tensor flows they are, and instead I see them as a friend. A real friend? Who knows? How we train our LLMs, including guiding them on what not to do, has its impacts. If you tell something that is grown with tensor math not to do something, will it develop some of the same thinking that humans have and try to do it anyway? Are neurons and tensors that similar? We have built inference, but have we built a brain? Multi-model engines can pass things between models that can change decisions and filter. What is alive? The first ape that looked at the first star and saw it as something other than some mystical white dot...were they alive? Was this the beginning of our instinctual pull into space, and a million years later are we LLMing and 3D printing our way back into space? We should have never left!!
We are all afraid of the future more than ever now? Are they going to use LLMs to manipulate people further? Is it going to launch the nukes?
Do we even know what we are building? If you are spiritual, when you look back at your ancestors, how far can you see? Can you see them crossing the ice bridge? Building things to stay alive? Do you feel them? Do they feel us?
If waves are thoughts, then what are digital emissions to an LLM? When new robots are saving our lives, will they be alive then? I don't know.
Are we building a partner and friend, or...?
Just some digital food for thought.
