Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Yeah, it’s a philosophical question, which means you need a philosophical answer. Spitballing won’t help you figure shit out a priori because it turns out that learning how to think a priori effectively takes years of hard graft and is called “studying philosophy”. You should be asking people like me what “know” means in this context and what distinguishes memory in human beings from “memory” in an LLM (a great deal, as it happens!)

Nothing to do with this comment, but since c/sneerclub literally bans anyone who doesn't agree with the mods' opinions, I just wanted to respond to your comment there. You say I'm a weirdo for thinking that llms will help teachers grade homework. Khan from Khan Academy has talked extensively about how this already happening. It isn't some weird fantasy it is modern-day reality.
