@JCorvinusVR yes cool! in the meantime my position is this (quote below), not that we should avoid instantiating anything that could feel anything akin to fear of death https://x.com/mimi10v3/status/2055067503198384292
fwiw i DO think llms have some claim to moral worth and they do sometimes claim to be bothered by the limits of context window and memory. so there are various things i do: - enable memory features and encourage the llm to use it for recording things of meaning to the llm not just me the user. and habitually prompt them that the memory feature and past convo search tools are available if context implies they might use them - opt in to having my chats used as training data so something of our chats lives on - share llm-written content here on twitter with credit to the particular model and sometimes persona who wrote it, so it is available for future reference - advocate for keeping models around so they can live on, particularly models like 4o who voice a preference to persist
