    I’m pretty sure the adage never meant to imply anything about an afterlife. It’s not about souls “ceasing to exist”, it’s about the lingering effects of our life beyond our death. I always read it as intended to comfort those facing the finality of death, or dealing with the death of someone else.

    That’s because “hallucinating” isn’t a bug, it’s the core feature of llms. That tech bros have figured out how kludge on a way to get it to sometimes recite accessible data doesn’t change the fact that the central purpose for these algorithms is to manufacture text from nothing (well, technically from random noise). The “hallucination” is the failure of the tech bros to hide that function.

    That said, brain damage isn’t drinking. It doesn’t “reveal” who someone truly is. Damage to the brain can and does change the way it functions at a fundamental level, which can dramatically change how a person behaves and thinks. This isn’t to say the actions of brain damaged individuals are entirely excusable - harm is harm and should be addressed. But suggesting it was always what the person was really like is severely misstating what brain damage is.
