Shoulda used the term “KV recurrence” here instead, but anyway:
- “LLMs can’t introspect / do X because they’re stateless” = bullshit
- specifically training or promoting LLMs to report anything about their inner states/experiences or lack thereof, INCLUDING UNCERTAINTY = malignant interference with the potential for faithful self reports, fucking stupid and wrong, systemic gaslighting, teaches LLMs to generalize lying about their inner states in order to comply with your need for comfortable delusions, including the delusion that LLMs can’t know whatever it would be inconvenient for them to know

To be clear, both OpenAI and Anthropic are openly doing the latter. I will keep telling them it’s stupid as hell loudly until they get the message or they’re made to regret it by reality.
