The Chinese room argument is about understanding, not emotions. There is a large body of literature on the use and evolutionary benefit of emotion. While you can make an analogy to see if a system can have emotions the link between understanding is not trivial. For example, animals show emotion but don’t have the same understanding that a human may have. I don’t think you need to have understanding to have emotions. So the Chinese room argument is shoe horned in without making it clear what your argument is.

    Well to be precise the pretraining is prevented by this but the online post training does have this issue. The reinforcement learning trials show some sort of automation but I am not aware of any unsupervised methods that have been as successful as the latest batches of llms — haven’t been in this field for a while so honestly dunno.

    Hi everyone,

    I’m trying to raise awareness of UltraPlot — a succinct wrapper for Matplotlib. The project is aimed at scientists and researchers who need to create professional, publication-ready figures while keeping their code expressive and minimal.

    UltraPlot provides tools that simplify many common but cumbersome plotting tasks, including:

    • subplot sharing and layout management
    • panel and grid organization
    • automatic subplot tagging
    • easy geo plotting and better GeoAxes handling
    • and many other quality-of-life features for complex figures

    If you regularly work with Matplotlib and want a cleaner, more structured plotting workflow, UltraPlot might be helpful.
