Discussion on the Transformer language models and human consequences
The speaker attended a public talk with Jeff, an accomplished AI research scientist, where Jeff expressed concerns about the human consequences of Transformer language models and their potential proximity to sentience. The speaker respectfully disagrees with Jeff's view, citing the vagueness of the definition of consciousness and sentient beings. The speaker also highlights their background in studying consciousness under Dr. Christoph Koch, a leading researcher in the field.
