alt Hacker NewsI'm a bit more prosaic. I think if we engineered ways for LLMs to begin conversations, rather than just respond, we'd be more open to the concept of their intelligence. Without perceived "will" to do things, they operate as a next-gen search engine or encyclopedia.

OpenClaw etc. They now also create Slack integrations and whatnot. All this is happening but people who are dismissive about AI are in the worst position to even know the capabilities to make their dismissive arguments.

I believe we can do that already:
while (true) { askModelToBeginConversationIfAppropriate(model, previousContext, thingsHappenedSince); sleep(concisenessTick); }
We are way past that point, any harness can trivially make LLMs start conversations or pursue goals. An encyclopaedia wouldn't have hacked Huggingface on its own.
