You know, we kinda have this one primary self, but I have a copy of you in me, right?
It's how I'm able to communicate with you and think about you when you're not in my visual field and things like that.
Uh it's not as rich as the self that you have, but it's kind of
Like a hologram, it's a it's a lower resolution, but it somehow captures the whole thing in in some weird sense.
So you know like the in the large language models w in the neural networks, we have like this weight pruning and we can do like a lower reduce the bit depth for each of the weights, right?
So you have a a low bit depth representation of me.
Essentially, right?
Um
But then we we we need to think of it like an ecosystem.
Because how many people do you have in your mind?
How many people have you interviewed, right?
You have all of those those ghosts in your machine, essentially.

Not even any particular idea, but just the the meta-idea of that there are harmful ideas.
