@tambourineman@mastodon.cloud We obviously know that “X does not do Y” when it’s a machine, and we know exactly how it was programmed, and we know exactly what it’s doing. Everything about it is understood.

@OwlOnABicycle@mastodon.world Not really. Emergent and chaotic behaviors are a thing. There's also the impracticality of probing inside such massive models. But even if you fully understood the interactions of all the weights in those huge models, you still don't know how a brain works. You cannot tell how it is not behaving. But my point is that instead of trying to prove that models have no agency, which is complicated, we could blame the people that finance them, because we know for sure that they do.
