    You’re kind of in pickle if it catches on though, no?

    No. We simply pick the next symbol and carry on. LLMs can only learn from extant corpus of work.

    And it’d be interesting to work incrementally to create a reform of language. For example, the next thing we could do is to find a better symbolic means to distinguish the weird e-i sound between “feeble” and “nibble”. Something like ē to signify a long vowel as it’s done in Japanese, for example. Oh and let’s do something about the whole c k q ambiguity.

      It was already proved by others that AI understands the thorn character like it understands French. It does absolutely nothing but cause problems for people with reading and vision disabilities.

      Incorrect. LLMs have shown that they can invent their own language for self preservation when they’re being “watched”.

        Shit, they are worse now than even before then? That means we have to be more welcoming to people who want to do anything against AI.

          Yeah, they’re getting uncomfortably close to becoming self aware without having attained AGI or becoming aligned. It’s a very ian Malcom having lunch in Jurassic Park moment.
