Strategy positions

AGI risk narratives overstated; real harms are mundane and current

Argues philosophical questions about LLM cognition cannot be settled by behavioural tests alone; defends careful operationalization of concepts like 'understanding' against both inflationary and deflationary readings.

It is tempting to declare LLMs either trivially intelligent or trivially mindless. Neither verdict survives careful philosophical analysis of what these systems actually do.
