Signs of introspection in large language models

Misanthropic periodically need articles about sentience and introspection ("Give us more money!").

Working in this field must be absolute hell. Pages and pages with ramblings, no definitions, no formalizations. It is always "I put in this text and something happens, but I do not really know why. But I will dump all dialogues on the readers in excruciating detail."

This "thinking" part is overrated. z.ai has very good "thinking" but frequently not so good answers. The "thinking" is just another text generation step.

EDIT: Misanthropic people can get this comment down to -4, so people continue to believe in their pseudoscience. The linked publication would have been thrown into the dustbin in 2010. Only now, with all that printed money flowing into the scam, do people get away with it-

Why would it be any more "hell" than the kind of science practiced by natural philosophers? You can still do science on things you don't fully understand.
