    what if the whole universe is just the algorithm and data used to feed and LLM? we’re all just chat gpt

    (i don’t know how LLMs work)

      We basically are. We’re biological pattern recognising machines, where inputs influence everything.

      The only difference is somehow our electricity has decided it’s got free will.

        well that decides it, gods are real and we’re their chat gpt, all our creations are just responses to their prompts lmao

        it’s wild though, i’ve heard that we don’t really have free will but i guess i’m personally mixed on it as i haven’t really looked that into it/thought much about it. it intuitively makes sense to me, though. that we wouldn’t, i mean, really have free will. i mean we’re just big walking colonies of micro-organisms, right? what is me, what is them? – idk where i’m going with this

              I think I think, therefore, I think I think I am, I think?

              This is as close to a statement of certainty as you will get from philosophy.

                A (somewhat wrong) reference to another exurb1a video on philosophy, found here with relevant timestamp. While Gilbert Gottfried is brought up in that section, the joke I was making should have ended in Emma Stone instead.

                As for who he is, he’s a comedian with a very specific voice, and voiced Iago in Disney’s Alladin if you’ve seen it. He got a bit canceled for making jokes that iirc at least bordered on racist to the Japanese shortly after a disaster of theirs, and lost his role as the voice of the Aflac duck.

                Oh, I forgot he passed… hmmm.
