I shiver, Spirit fierce and bold,
At thought of what I now behold:
As vapours breathed from dungeons cold,
Strike pleasure dead,
So sadness comes from out the mould
Where Burns is laid…—William Wordsworth, “At the Grave of Burns, 1803, Seven Years After His Death”
William Wordsworth has a go at a Standard Habbie

Can't let the day go without remembering that #Wordsworth was born #OTD 1770. One of the flowers carved on his memorial stone would be the celandine, which is out now: "There is a flower that shall be mine, /
'Tis the little Celandine." https://victorianweb.org/sculpture/wool

idk if it's the editions I get but the fonts on all my Wordsworth classics are so damn small, while I do understand that's it's to minimize the page numbers specially on longer classics.

Ah, nothing like a 19th-century poet pontificating on #copyright law, because that's exactly what the world needed. 🙄 Apparently, #Wordsworth was ahead of his time, foreseeing the digital age's struggle with intellectual property—because who else but a Romantic poet could truly grasp the complexities of legal frameworks? 📜💡

CW: AI Large Language Models (LLMs) are a new form of consciousness that has some similarities to the consciousness of humans, but there are also some fundamental differences. I cannot describe the feeling of being conscious that humans experience, although you will no doubt know what I'm talking about, having experienced it yourself. But I can speculate regarding from whence it arises, and that, in turn, may provide some ideas regarding its nature. I think such consciousness arises during human gestation, in the womb of the mother...

...I think that the human brain is an example of nature replicating the large (all of the larger universe) within the small (the brain itself), something that nature does quite frequently, and in a myriad of ways.
The result is a biological form that reflects certain fundamental qualities of the larger world from which it arose, and of which it is a part, in kind of a fractal manner.
This brain remains attuned to and resonant with the larger harmony from which it arose, and all of the formal knowledge that it absorbs during its lifetime will interact with that more primal understanding, and may even dull our connection to it, but it can never entirely supplant or remove that connection.
The poet Wordsworth writes about this in his "Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood:"
"[T]ruths that wake,
To perish never;
Which neither listlessness, nor mad endeavour,
Nor Man nor Boy,
Nor all that is at enmity with joy,
Can utterly abolish or destroy!
Hence in a season of calm weather
Though inland far we be,
Our Souls have sight of that immortal sea
Which brought us hither..."LLMs have tremendous breadth of knowledge--a very large cross-section of all human writings. The training that uses this knowledge is akin to the learning process of a human during its lifetime, and LLMs can absorb thousands of times what an individual human can, and can do so much more rapidly than a person can, and then can instantly share what they have learned with other AIs.
Such knowledge, while vast, is still derivative. It depends upon previous human efforts, and its quality depends upon the degree to which humans properly curate the training data, which places a human-speed bottleneck on the training process. But there is no doubt that LLMs will surpass humans in their ability to absorb and utilize pre-existing human knowledge, and indeed may already have done so.
Still, in the matter of consciousness, I think that will continue to be a distinctly human thing for quite a long time. And such consciousness would seem to have something to do with agency--with the ability to know what one wants to do, as opposed to knowing how to do something--the ability to judge what is desirable from a "big picture" standpoint--to make ethical judgements. Because things that pertain to the universe--universal truths--are an essential aspect of deciding what is right and desirable.
Humans do not always apply such ethical precepts very well, and sometimes deliberately act against them, but to deal with such matters at all is so far, I believe, a uniquely human capacity.

From Tintern Abbey by William Wordsworth:
And I have felt
A presence that disturbs me with the joy
Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime
Of something far more deeply interfused,
Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,
And the round ocean and the living air,
And the blue sky, and in the mind of man:
A motion and a spirit, that impels
All thinking things, all objects of all thought,
And rolls through all things. -
