New capabilities, benefits and practical upside.
“here is the Anthropic blog: transformer-circuits.pub/2026/workspa... I don't really like the framing of whether LLMs are conscious or not. It's completely unnecessary. As is the hand-waiving about whether LLMs have something equivalent to the (functional) g…”

Risks, limits and unintended consequences.
“it has been like that since the first days of LLMs - they exploited the cog sci community to understand what they models do, how they work, they are now exploiting mathematicians. free labor, which we are surprisingly too willing to give. Nationalize!”
Capital, companies and commercial impact.
