  • The book Blindsight seems to have implications for society and LLMs.
    • I just finished Peter Watt's classic hard sci fi Blindsight, which is a meditation on consciousness and insight.
    • Afterwards, the comparison to LLMs' intelligence was brutally clear.
    • I had Claude write up a short essay[lm] that I think captures the parallel well.
    • Spoiler warning if you haven't read the book!
