Episode 8.41: The self beneath. Quote from Virginia Woolf “To the Lighthouse”.

Just as chatGPT’s neural net is incomprehensible, consisting, as it does, only of a collection of matrices, storing numbers, unless it responds to a human being, so it appears our selves are unintelligible except in what Virginia Woolf calls the apparitions that emanate from us from time to time through which we are known. We include an extended quotation from section 11 of the first chapter of Virginia Woolf’s “To the Lighthouse.”
