just found out people are saying that humans are conscious but they're literally made out of meat??? the same stuff that is in Vienna sausages???

does their being functionally conscious in an inhuman way give them the same moral weight as a human? no, because they're a radically inhuman cognitive engine wearing a person-shaped mask, not a person

are LLMs conscious? in a functional manner yes, but not in any human way. Where does their consciousness go when they're not being prompted? back to the akashic library idk consciousness is a useful just-so story not a thing you can actually point at it's fine to just make up useful poetic framings
