  • Pretty sure you guys are onto it, believe it is theorised to be related to Denisovan genes

    “Denisovans, an extinct hominin species, possessed genetic adaptations that helped them thrive in high-altitude environments, particularly in Siberia and potentially the Tibetan Plateau. A key example is their version of the EPAS1 gene, which is crucial for oxygen regulation in low-oxygen conditions and is also found in modern Tibetans, enabling them to live comfortably at high elevations without the negative side effects experienced by other populations according to a study published in Nature. This suggests that Denisovans interbred with humans, and their genetic contributions facilitated the adaptation of some human populations, like Tibetans, to high altitudes.”










  • The person that commented below kinda has a point. While I agree that there’s nothing special about LLMs an argument can be made that consciousness (or maybe more ego?) is in itself an emergent mechanism that works to keep itself in predictable patterns to perpetuate survival.

    Point being that being able to predict outcomes is a cornerstone of current intelligence (socially, emotionally and scientifically speaking).

    If you were to say that LLMs are unintelligible as they operate to provide the most likely and therefore most predictable outcome then I’d agree completely.
