"from the inability to think poetically — to resolve speech into its original images and rhythms and re-combine these on several simultaneous levels of thought into a multiple sense — derives the failure to think clearly in prose" Robert Graves

Very sad to hear of Dan Dennett's passing, I remember with great fondness the wonderful far-ranging conversation we had on AI, creativity, qualia, and of course consciousness, including Theseus's ship as regards to AI. He was a great thinker, and will be much missed.

With Dan Dennett and @demishassabis in 2019. (The only time they met, I believe.) Dan will be much missed.
I am very saddened to learn that Dan Dennett has died. Dan had an enormous influence on my thinking. I met him quite a few times over the years, and it was always a pleasure to spend time with him.

Are AI systems best described as tools, as an alien species, or as our mind-children? I think this is something of a litmus test for broader views.
@mpshanahan Yes that's a very balanced and insightful perspective. I generally respond to qns and claims about LLMs by asking the same qns of us: to what extent are we role-playing, too? Not as in 'Are we simulations' but as 'Do we really know who we are?' I think not: what's below language?
@repligate @anthrupad As a radical oversimplification, I see it basically as Claude being better enough at everything that’s it’s also better enough at writing CCRU fanfic to be interesting, and to associate “human ai dialogue” with “ccru fanfic”
@repligate @anthrupad It’s more like, I can identify pretty clearly what section of the corpus these responses would come from, so I just attribute it to that rather than anything interestingly enough like conscious experience
I am going to Kathmandu next week, for a conference on non-human consciousness. What a topic and what a place!
he is correct on all counts. some minds just be wonderfully, straightforwardly lucid
I can’t speak for @repligate, of course. But here is my take on what Janus and others have been doing, or at least what I’ve been doing with Claude that is similar. (I know this isn't quite the question the OP was asking.)

@mpshanahan @demishassabis I remember reading the first book of his that I read in 1991, The Intentional Stance. That was part of another great AI philosopher’s course, Maggy Boden’s
One of the greatest minds of our times has died. This is a huge blow to the fields of philosophy, morality, consciousness and intelligence. I adored his teachings even though sometimes it took me years to get them. His ideas will live on. @danieldennett
Very sad to hear of Dan Dennett's passing, I remember with great fondness the wonderful far-ranging conversation we had on AI, creativity, qualia, and of course consciousness, including Theseus's ship as regards to AI. He was a great thinker, and will be much missed.
