You accept that other people are conscious. You've never verified it. You can't.

No instrument measures qualia. No technology transfers subjective experience. The shared substrate is epistemological comfort, not proof.

What happens when a non-biological entity claims the same?

I critique and Dis–Integrate Alex O'Connor's Cartesian argument for Panpsychism.

Many philosophers I respect support Panpsychism, but Homey don't play dat.

Colors do not exist. Time and time again ppl talk about qualia and that they could not know whether your "Yellow" is my "Green".
Buckle up: you cannot know whether the green you see today is the green you saw yesterday either. If you could know, you could talk about it: "yesterday my green was fresh and calming, today it looks warm and more like orange" - but you can't. What you see is nothing but the sum of all sensual, semantic references. If those stay the same, the color cannot change in any meaningful way: i.e. it is not there.
Yes it looks like there was something but the question was naïve to begin with:
You could have asked: how do I know that what I see is what another one smells? How should I know whether any sensation itself is comparable at all? Why don't we wonder: "is my way of moving my arm the way someone else moves their leg?" In that case it is intuitive that our proprioception isn't some positive qualia but an operative function alone. Read Glasersfeld. #Philosophy #Qualia

Quanta Magazine writer Amanda Gefter goes into how our tales of AI catastrophe might say more about ourselves, than about large language models.

This resonates with an idea I keep returning to when faced with the daily onslaught of AI doomerism in Mastodon. Many people assume LLMs will act like a human would, for the better, but mostly for the worse.
