Is the space of possible minds really that huge(or maybe really that alien?), though? I agree about humans having … an instinctive ability to intuit the mental state of other humans. But isn’t that partly learnable as well? We port this simulation ability relatively well to animals once we get used to their tells. Would we really struggle to learn the tells of other minds, as long as they were somewhat consistent over time and didn’t have the ability to perfectly lie?
Like what’s a truly alien mind? At the end of the day we’re Turing complete, we can simulate any computational process, albeit inefficiently.
