No, LLMs are not conscious. They have an amazing ability to 'mimic' being conscious, due to their training on billions words written by conscious people, but they have no experience. Experience is essential for conscious awareness. What's your POV?

Erwin Schrödinger, Nobel quantum physicist, on consciousness: “The overall number of minds is just one. It is merely the same self that looks out through all the eyes.”

One of the great mysteries of quantum physics: the measurement problem - that superpositions appear to collapse into a single, definite state when observed by a conscious observer. This enigma challenges our understanding of the relationship b/w consciousness and reality itself.

CONSCIOUSNESS: it’s remarkable that science still has not found a predictable model for a phenomenon that is shared by every human being on the planet, and potentially all animals and plants too.

We believe there is a fundamental link between what we call life and consciousness. Certain configurations of the fields of matter could interact very strongly with the field of consciousness. These configurations are likely found in cells, and on a larger scale in animal brains.

Federico Faggin’s Irreducible is essential reading for Quantum Consciousness theory. Written by the creator of the Intel microprocessor, his book proposes, as Nirvanic believes, that consciousness is primary, a fundamental part of existence like space, time and energy. 🧠✨

“That’s the big bet.”  Nirvanic’s CEO Dr. Suzanne Gildert is aiming to innovate a technological breakthrough in conscious AI, ten years ahead of its time.  Ten years ago, humanoid robotics was barely a thing.  Now there’s dozens of companies.  It’s the same with consciousness.

This is what quantum consciousness research looks like. Suzanne Gildert is testing algorithms with small quadruped robotic systems, like this mech dog.

Consciousness is everything that we are. Every experience, every second of your life, seems to “play out” like a movie in your head. Philosopher Daniel Dennett calls it to the “Cartesian Theatre.” Yet there is no known mechanism in physics to explain subjective experience.

Quantum AI is computation with no limits, just like our minds. What will we discover when we take AI to the next level, using the same computational physics that life uses?

As AI is becoming more powerful, it is turning a mirror on us, forcing us to consider what our own minds are. People who've not thought much about philosophy are now considering deep questions. What are yours?

Our CEO believes people tend to fall into two camps about artificial consciousness in AI --- AI will never be conscious --- or AI will suddenly be conscious, but far beyond human understanding. Subscribe to our Substack to learn about the safest way fwd for super-intelligent AI

“Nirvanic’s mission is to understand consciousness and apply it to AI and human wellness.”

Our CEO, @suzannegildert is presently tuning her quantum computer algorithms, to test Nirvanic's conjecture about conscious AI

Nirvanic’s big idea is to understand the deep physics that causes consciousness to emerge in human beings, and use those findings to make a new kind of AI system - one that has a mind more like ours.
