Comment on LLMorphism: When humans come to see themselves as language modelsparent

It's interesting that it's easier to construct the argument† that a mind like an LLM would have an easier time capturing mind as steam engine than a mind like a steam engine would have capturing mind as LLM.

†: come up with each token after the other that induces a graspable interpretation of a sequence of tokens representing a potential judgement

There's something really interesting here with Goguen Institutions. Also sometimes an argument just "clicks" into place fully-formed, rather than being generated token-by-token? Is that "knowing like a steam engine?"

Maybe the LLM token stream is just like the curve of the rails coming into view of the steam engine mind.

Chooo chooo!! (Yes!!)
