Is it though? This law has been applied for the last 5 years. How did it change your life?

Also important to note I think is that Chat Control 1.0 was enacted in July 2021. It was meant to be a temporary stop-gap solution until CSAR aka Chat Control 2.0 would be negotiated as a more permanent solution. 1.0 already got extended in 2024 to April 2026 when CSAR wasn’t progressing.

So they just reinstated the temporary solution that has already been there for 5 years.

This does not in any way prove that LLMs aren’t sentient. Feels like a joke paper. I mean not a completely unserious one but one that’s has been written with a lot of smirk.

The actual author explains it way better though: https://adriandewynter.substack.com/p/if-llms-have-human-like-attributes

I obviously didn’t understand everything, but it seems to me that he built an LLM in AoE2 goats and basically said “look, obviously this isn’t concious” and that “obviously” is doing much more work than it should. Reductio ad absurdum.

Obviously the LLM built in AoE2 goats is conscious.
