Great meeting on AI consciousness research this week at Google NY, what an inspiring crowd!

Really grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the panel on AI consciousness evaluation, alongside Roman Yampolskiy, @birchlse.bsky.social and Rob Long.

And special thanks to Rob for the sticker :)

Periodically feel an urge to stare at Goya‘s Witches, like twice a year or so. A mysterious pre-solstice pull?

I had the pleasure to be a judge again, this year at the regional finals. And again I am amazed at how articulate, thoughtful and (mostly) coherent in their presentation these high school students are.

What a cool exercise and an experience for the young citizens!

A fantastic inaugural lecture by @birchlse.bsky.social at the @lsephilosophy.bsky.social yesterday, taking the audience on “a walk along the edge of sentience”. The pdf version of his book can be downloaded *for free* at academic.oup.com/book/57949

Proud to be a member of Jonathan’s team!

A peek into the interactive VR experience on Portia the jumping spider, which I showcased at the workshop “What it’s like to be another animal” at the #Bristolmuseum&artgallery, organised by @simonabbrown.bsky.social , Ross Pain and Giulia Palazzolo.

Now proven to work for both kids & adults :)
