I checked mine on Amazon Japan's site. While it had some categories: height, weight, age, fit attributes, and shoe sizes: nothing was populated.
I can only guess that there's hidden information that indicates I'm extremely privacy conscious. But it could be possible that information is populated by cookies which I don't allow.
>but they aren’t conscious
You don’t know that.
>language is orthogonal to consciousness
I don’t think that is true either. The beings we think of being conscious all are social creatures and communicate in some form.

I can’t believe how cynical everyone on HN is about this. Sure Sama is a chronic liar, and maybe this is a farce; but a lot of very intelligent people are afraid of the danger we are bringing about by racing to superintelligence.
All I really would like is for some of you to CONSIDER THAT YOURE INCORRECT. Just imagine that people ringing the fire alarms are being sincere. Please entertain the position with an open mind.
You can't believe a company that's investigating over 10k security incidents in which subagents that they developed and are hosting appear to be indiscriminately hacking into whatever they think will give them some data that improves the prompt response might not want to release that to the public and have subagents hack into stuff for profit?
I don't get how this being an entirely legitimate issue is even hard to grasp.
So we should believe the boy who cried wolf, this time?
If all these claims were being made about some tech further along than LLMs currently are, they might be plausible. But LLMs on their own are not going to be “superintelligence” of the kind Altman is currently cynically spreading fear about. We know their limitations, and those limitations can’t simply be eliminated with more training or better harnesses.
> Just imagine that people ringing the fire alarms are being sincere.
The top three possibilities here are: they’re not being sincere, they’re just marketing; they’re being sincere, but they don’t understand the technology very well and are putting too much weight in what the first group are saying; they’re talking about a risk further in the future than OpenAI’s latest model.
No-one serious outside of OpenAI believes “this is the one”. At best, you’re conflating arguments being made on entirely different timelines, falling for the exact kind of equivocation Altman is relying on.
