#1291bayes@BAYESLORD@inductionheads That’s not what I’m suggesting at all, such claims are also overconfident
Super Dario@inductionheads@bayeslord I think it’s the other way, any sort of confidence in consciousness coming from intelligence is overconfident

#1291bayes@BAYESLORD@inductionheads To be clear the only argument I’m making is that “GPUs can’t feel things” is overconfident. Ppl conflating things like self reflection or intelligence or whatever with consciousness is also wrong (more wrong than your claim)
Super Dario@inductionheads@bayeslord Well that’s the implicit argument here
