>But that tells you nothing about what's going on on the inside

It does not have to tell us anything. Because we built it..We know what is going on the inside. There is nothing more to it..

Why do security bugs in Linux exist? We built Linux, we know everything that is going on inside.

Yes, we can explain the bugs by looking at the code that we put in and the data it bugs out on. In a similar way, we can explain the behavior of LLMs by look at their code and the data the code operates upon.

There is no mystery anywhere...

You said you know everything about it. Then you should not have written bugs in the first place. How are you sure a system we wrote didn't emerge consciousness, if you can't even prove a system you wrote doesn't have classic logic bugs?

		>You said you know everything about it. Yes, we know everything we put there. But we cannot consider all the possible inputs and all the possible state that the code should handle. Bugs come from that limitation. > How are you sure a system we wrote didn't emerge consciousness, Sure, as I said elsewhere, rocks could be conscious for all we know. Keep believing that if it makes you feel good.

And why do you think we can't do the same for brains?

Because we didn't build the brain..

We didn't build most things in nature. We didn't build hills for example, but we can pile earth and make a hill. Why are brains special?

Again, no progress is possible unless you define what consciousness is in your view. I shall have to halt any conversation otherwise.
