“I just look at them with my eyes and remember who they are.” Should the alien conclude that the human is being uncooperative, and apply the crowbar?
With the crowbar on the table I’ll at least explain that the face splits into other high-level features (eyes, nose, mouth, etc.) which can be very memorable on their own.
As the bar inches closer I’ll venture into something more vague, about contrasts of features or associations or how features affect emotions.
...But that misses the point. On the topic of the tweet: doesn’t Eliezer acknowledge what you talk about later?
But, sure, maybe all the things that LLMs know about gravity and medicine and cups on tables is one kind of knowledge to them, and all the wordless secrets they know about humans are in a hidden and incommensurable format.

Well I mean if he were really acknowledging the point he would have acknowledged that his tweet doesn’t make any sense
