i wonder how many psychology today articles have been shared to hacker news ... my reason for posting is:

maybe computation IS the same thing as doubt? or at the very least, doubt is an ingredient that goes into making a computation. it sure feels similar to me.

surely you can almost hear it. “As a language model, I do not experience doubt like humans do.”

some take that as proof that no doubt is experienced. others, that no human doubt is experienced. there’s a chasm in the middle.

these words are all malleable as they are but crude carriers of shadows of ideas.
