Summarization
A group of Twitter users are discussing the hypothesis that one's capacity to see the limitations of GPT-4 is inversely proportional to their degree of identification with verbal "stream of consciousness" thinking. They discuss potential factors involved, such as embodied sentience and the limitations of language itself. They also discuss the relationship between the dropping away of internal narration and the possibility of non-dual experiencing. The discussion branches out to the limitations of LLMs, the Chinese room, and the potential avenues for exploring AGI.

| 1638261498702180354 | @abhayance @the_wilderless @nickcammarata @m_ashcroft @rufuspollock @liamckavanagh and it’s only once you have really tested/tasted the limits of language and the vastness of non verbal space directly that you can see how little language is actually capturing or representing of the texture of experience (eg felt sense) | 3 |
