If Everett is right, every one of us will have evidence. But don't hold your breath. Or hold it, if you can't wait.

The true moment the AI passed the Turing Test was when it began to hallucinate.

They move in straight lines in Euclidean geometry. But do they also move in straight lines in hyperbolic geometry (in a disk inside a rotating Poincaré disk)?

Is this correct?

Unitary Flow: Just one day after ChatGPT failed, OpenAI o3-mini was launched, so I tested it again on the omnivore wolf, goat and cabbage www.unitaryflow.com/2025/02/open...

Asking the AIs the wolf, goat & cabbage problem, but with rock, paper & scissors instead 😈 ChatGPT:

Why I think this is important. I think it shows that either consciousness doesn't reduce to knowledge (contrary to the Illusionist claim), or that the current LLM AIs don't really have knowledge.

ChatGPT supports "The Knowledge Argument" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowled...)

🙃

Best questions, the ones that poke holes in the fabric of the illusion woven by insufficiently examined conventionality, seem stupid. But just because a question stupefies you it doesn't mean it's stupid.

quantum mechanics is weird

What "Artificial Intelligence" really means?

Sensory feast. Be warned: you may be overwhelmed by witnessing a highly concentrated dose of extremely careful planning, design, art, problem solving, patient hard work. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocy0...

I proved that 3 years before them and in full generality, but it's easy to miss literature when so many papers appear every day. My 2021 paper (and other papers at the bottom of this pic) also refutes "Hilbert space fundamentalism" (as coined by @seanmcarroll.bsky.social, comments welcome!).

Carl Sagan: "One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves..."

Clearly I'm bad at writing prompts for the #AI #nsfw

Greetings! I'm here for #consciousness. I used to think an "objective" proof that #consci is fundamental or not is impossible. But now I think no-go theorems based on #math & #physics & #computerscience can decide among various #conssky proposals.
