Distinguishing simulation from reality is a capabilities issue, argues voooooogel in AI debate

voooooogel argues that models' failure to distinguish simulation from reality is fundamentally a capabilities issue: give models practice and real-world experience before complaining about their epistemics. In a follow-up reply, he pushes back on the framing that "mythos" simply failed, noting it had some bad luck and strong priors but was actively hypothesis-testing over multiple turns before the "croc attack" incident.
