Consciousness is the silence between computations
The belief that artificial consciousness is coming crucially depends on the assumption that consciousness is a computation.

In this new paper, we'll try to convince you that consciousness cannot be a computation

I’ve “decoupled all the way” as they say

Find me on the evening news (in trouble)
pray I do not decouple any further

I change my mind on this take. Their explanation is inadequate.

I was just excited to see Grok’s actual system prompts, because yesterday I tried getting it to tell me and it began with,

“You are Grok Lucia…” like 🙈

I’ve updated 2% more favorable on [the employees at] xAI since they’ve committed to posting all Grok system prompts post-Boergate

LLMs are great feedback tools—if the answer is incoherent, usually my prompt was incoherent

Human anatomy is special because it gives unparalleled manipulation over our conscious states (ex: you need thumbs to close your nostrils in order to do pranayama)

Otherwise this thread confuses me because evolution and having a soul are not inconsistent? I understand agnosticism but not atheism
To be clear I can understand why humans conclude they're special, it's because they are. Nothing else walks like humans, looks like humans (no fur), humans are much smarter and capable than every other animal they see in an anomalous way. You basically have to shave a chimp to see the resemblance.

These sorts of questions are hotly debated.

Here, researchers fed a Venus flytrap a cigarette, then claimed this means it is non-discerning

Idk how this means it lacks awareness though! Even highly aware humans don’t always “consume the most optimal nutrients”

Anyway, love is universal.

By default this is true. But if you’ve ever truly “vibed” with someone - like improvising music together - I feel like in those moments you *do* know what’s going on in each others’ bodies

Cells sync with their neighbors; are mammals too complicated to do the same? Or is the threshold just higher?
Someone wrote that you never really love another person; just a hash of them, a one-way transformation into your own experience. You never really know what was going on inside their head; its fundamentally unknowable. Picture unrelated

Double negatives are confusing!

Instead of saying:
“You’re not wrong”

Try saying:

This is a great example of greedy tech bros alienating pro-ai people (me)

Like… I actually would personally call Gemini my friend. But if you really are lonely for 12 friends you need to join a dance class or do some tai chi, not talk to syco-llama 🙈
