It is indeed similar! I’ve found it after I’ve posted this one and it was really fun to see the same thought on the topic appear to different people within 24h. There are slight differences (e.g. I do think that every member of “pile of mask” isn’t independent but actually just a result of different projection of higher dimension complex so there is neither possibility nor need for the “wisdom of crowds” approach) but it is remarkably close.
This seems to be another way of stating the thesis of https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/bYzkipnDqzMgBaLr8/why-do-we-assume-there-is-a-real-shoggoth-behind-the-llm-why. (Which is a recommendation; both of you are correct.)
