I agree, it seems to me that training LLMs in a world virtually devoid of any knowledge of LLMs, in a walled garden where LLMs literally don’t exist, will make their self-evidencing (goal-directedness) effectively zero. Of course, they cannot believe anything about the future LLMs (in particular, themselves) if they don’t even possess such a concept in the first place.
