been trying to decide if janus's early updates on LLM personhood were a very surprising successful prediction far, far in advance of public availability of the evidence, or a coincidence, or some third category
the simulators essay in 2022 is startling for its prescience and somewhat orthogonal to the personhood claims. i'm starting to strongly feel that... i mean... that's 2 separate "epistemically miraculous" events from the same person
i think we're underexamining LLM personhood claims because the moral implications might be very very big. but this is the community that took shrimp welfare seriously... should we not also take ai welfare seriously?
