Instructions trigger a production-centered mechanism in language models, with task-specific information stable in input tokens but varying strongly in output tokens and correlating with behavior.

The paper claims that alignment requires treating AI as part of the self through cognitive co-regulation, identifying risks like deskilling and automation bias while drawing on System 0 cognition theory.
LLMs function as accurate semantic processors for conditionals but do not replicate the pragmatic inferences that define human reasoning.
Direct research on AI consciousness is intractable, so the field should prioritize studying perceived AI consciousness and its societal consequences.
