	We haven't figured out that training LLM on the
Internet will do us no good as it is full of lies and human
prejudices.

	If you want a conscious machine then you have to
give it senses so that it develops a true sense of self.
It has to burn its sensors to know that fire is hot and
dangerous, that gravity pulls things down and that the
Sun can be blinding. Also that its parts modeled on
the human body can be broken painfully.

With present LLMs the power requirements are too high
to put it in a mobile body and the possibility of a
remote stable operating computer is limited by
communications speed.

	At least from what I read that is my opinion.
