I’ve been doing something similar on my own for the past few weeks. The main difference is that an LLM can answer my questions while your questions are wilder.
Mine have looked like:
How did Lévi-Strauss respond to Sartre on existentialism?
What were post-WWII existentialists in France actually like?
Why is being mild about religion so common?
How does Blackstone’s private equity fund operate? What are the most important financial markers for this type of company?
Why are Chinese AI models so weakly secured against extraction of bio knowledge and capabilities?
Is Trump going to strike Iran?
What is understanding in mathematics? Can you become good at math without ever feeling like you truly understand things?
More of a goal design nagel-style candle holder that you can print on a
These come from news and books I’m reading at the moment.
Which points at what I expect will be one of the most common failure modes here: asking boring questions that even an LLM can answer.
I don’t understand this point. Why do you need to analyze consciousness to understand ethics? I think I’m missing some crucial information here.
