I do find it facinating that people don't realize the highest compression isn't the artifacts.. but what makes the artifacts.. a synthetic "mind".

This is why we see evidence of emotional structures: https://www.anthropic.com/research/emotion-concepts-function

This is why we see generalized introspection (limited in the models studied before people point it out, which they love to): https://www.anthropic.com/research/introspection

Because the most compact way to recreate the breadth of written human experience is shockingly to have analogs to the systems that made it in the first place.

Not sure why this is being down voted, but surely it's the other way around? These structures are emergent from the environment, not something belonging exclusively to humans and then appropriated by LLMs?
