   @mikemccaffrey @pluralistic i dunno how this is news to anyone. i don't even know how the "its a hallucination" cope got started. i thought people expecting a robot mimmicking a human to never be wrong were deluded but also never euphemized that robots get things wrong (as do humans.) :blobcatdunno:
   
   though i do think the unlimited budgets and those "muh brute force > elegance" tropes blind them to the fact that what makes living systems smart is the hippocampus not the neuron count :neocat_woozy:

     I like seeing how @pluralistic is refining his anti #AI arguments over time. In this interview, I love the idea of reframing "hallucinations" as "defects", the analogy that trying to get #AGI out of #LLMs is like breeding faster horses and expecting one to give birth to a locomotive, and ridiculing the premise that "if you teach enough words to the word-guessing machine it will become God."
