Literally speaking, there's some truth to Olah's musing. AI systems are not cold – Blackwell chips idle at 32 to 38°C. They are not calculating – they're bad at math. And they're not robots – AI models are specialized binary blobs of tensors and metadata that can be instantiated across multiple servers.
But the notion that there's some AI mystery in the spiritual sense is just hot garbage.
AI systems are indeed "made from us, from our words" and that is why Anthropic and its rivals have been named in more than 100 lawsuits. One of the reasons those systems remain mysterious is that Anthropic and its rivals don't disclose where they got their training data.
What a fool, if instead of blabbering he offered pope (or at least some local priests) a sizeable bribe donation, they would even christened the AI
He has been ignoring emails from me about my AI model that bribes the pope for you
Looks like we need hackers to reveal everything nowadays, because billionaire corrupts won't.
