@undergrowthfeed@achrilock.social I'm not saying thinking machines are impossible. I'm a biological machine. I'm just saying humans aren't yet capable of designing and building them and we haven't even started.

It does not have even the seed of cognition. It's text-based autocomplete with no root in semantics and concepts. There is no room for evolution or emergent properties.

All the talk about "existential risk" is hype designed to simultaneously do two things:
1) inflate the recent achievements of scale and their importance
2) crowd out discussion about harm already being done by pre-existing systems for automating human decision-making
