I don't recall another time in CS history where a result like this is obvious to the point of banality to one group. And heretical to another.

I had a (second) chat with the wonderful Andrea Hiott. We talked about hallucinations, reality, and the Lord knows what: youtu.be/CyLI963Exss?si…

IN YOUR FOREST OF DESIRE THE MIND GOES HUNTING By #Kabir Kabir, in your forest of desire the mind goes hunting. Garden of the body, deer of bliss: ready-aim—fire.

My first attempt to make AI self aware was not entirely successful, but I will persevere. Here is a paper cunningly designed to induce self reflection (pworldrworld.com/fred/wp-conten…), and here is a podcast generated by Google notebooklm.google.com/notebook/2c798…
