I find LLM's just as awe inspiring as you. But you and I both will find them underwhelming eventually. This is the history of the field going all the way back to Turing.

At any rate, my point remains. The flaws inherent to the current deep learning regime _absolutely_ disqualify them as being capable of any sort of rapid takeoff/escalation (a la paperclip optimization) that the rationalist community is likely referring to when they say super intelligence or ASI.

Sorry about the "asimovian" comment - you'd be correct to call it an exaggeration and somewhat toxic.



I mean, I find them underwhelming today. I just also haven't been given any convincing evidence that the technology is anywhere close to tapped out yet, and lots of evidence that it isn't.
