Banks/hackers can manipulate data if they want to. Manipulating data on blockchains is way waaaaay harder.

Nice, but the presentation needs work.

TLDR: Let's say you want to teach an LLM a new skill. You give them training data pertaining to that skill. Currently, researchers believe that this skill development shows up suddenly in a breakthrough fashion. They think so because they measure this skill using some methods. The skill levels remain very low until they unpredictably jump up like crazy. This is the "breakthrough".

BUT, the paper that this article references points at flaws in the methods of measuring skills. This paper suggests that breakthrough behavior doesn't really exist and skill development is actually quite predictable.

Also, uhhh I'm not AI (I see that TLDR bot lurking everywhere, which is what made me specify this).

Fair. I'm a little tired right now, but this article says exactly everything that I want/have to say.

This article is by the Communist Party of India (Marxist Leninist). So just for context, there are two communist parties in India (CPI and CPIM). The CPIM split from the CPI during the Sino-Soviet split. The CPIM was the pro China one. In my opinion, in the modern day, both of them are absolute chads.

I love this article because it does not approach the topic in a vacuum. It compares the Uighur genocide to what the Indian State has been doing in Kashmir since independence. The similarities are uncanny. Kashmir, Xinjiang, the Rohingyas, Kurdistan... the story of the oppressors here is the same throughout.

This just shows that we have different definitions for sentience. I define sentience as the ability to be self aware and the ability to link senses of external stimuli to the self. Your definition involves short term memory and weight adjustment as well.

However, there is no consensus in the definition of sentience yet for a variety of reasons. Hence, none of our definitions are "wrong". At least not yet.
