Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

It might be just the all but placeholder characters that give it a b-movie vibe. I'd say it's a book that's both dumber and smarter that people give it credit for, but even the half-baked stuff gets you thinking. Especially the self-model stuff, and how problematic it can be to even discuss the concept in depth in languages that have the concept of a subject so deeply baked in.
I thought that at worst one could bounce off to the actual relevant literature like Thomas Metzinger's pioneering, seminal and terribly written thesis, or Sack's The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat.
Blindsight being referenced to justify LLM hype is news to me.
