Hermano, quien manda aca, y que carajo somos?
Crónica al aire, sin tapujos, para la hora en que ya no se le miente a nadie
You assume there is someone behind the eyes, the driver, but there is none.
You are not a thing made of parts. You are a thing made of agents.
More Real Than Real, but True? On the one thing a mind cannot distinguish for itself
If a mind cannot check itself, then thinking is not enough. What is needed is the instrument the mind was born without: a verifier outside the mind, frequency-independent, unflatterable, placed where the truth is and not where the feeling is.
LLM models can have two faces: they are truthful in coding and math, but they hallucinate and lie in other areas. But why?
The problem, as plainly as it goes. The real gains in code and mathematics are being borrowed as confidence about everything else.
No notan que el mundo se volvió más inteligente? Y no estoy contento. Y no sé por qué.

I am what I am. Do not judge me for being. I cannot not be what I am.
What If Human Self-Awareness, Advanced Language Cognition, is a Cosmic Mistake?
What If, Our greatest evolutionary achievement is our gravest liability, that advanced consciousness itself might be a form of cosmic mistake.
Dreaming as Evidence for a Constructed Reality and a Manufactured Self
The Disconnected Renderer This essay offers a structural account of what reality is and how the experience of being someone is crafted, and it argues the account from an unusual evidential base: the dream. Most philosophy of mind argues the constructed character of experience from third-person sources — perceptual illusion,
An LLM is not a single mind, but a Library of Minds
It is a library that contains many minds as latent patterns, drawn from the vast corpus on which the model was trained. When you address the library casually, you receive averaged output, competent but anonymous.
{La Cofradía de los Avergonzados de la Inteligencia Sintética} - Amigo! Vos NO sos un impostor!
Un ensayo sobre el síndrome del impostor cibernético, los simbiontes, la herramienta, la honestidad, y otras yerbas. Al estilo de las Crónicas del Ángel Gris
