There Is No Hard Problem of Consciousness www.noemamag.com/there-is-no-... #neuroscience

@jackstilgoe.bsky.social - might be of interest to you - slightly leftfield, but my thoughts on why fully autonomous self-driving cars need many of the building blocks of a conscious experience to work properly (and hence why we are still some way off)

"We have much more in common with other animals than we do with things like ChatGPT" A group of prominent biologists and philosophers announced a new consensus: “a realistic possibility” that other animals have consciousness. #philsky #consciousness www.quantamagazine.org/insects-and-...

Anil Seth argues consciousness is bound to biological self-maintenance. New essay arguing that for a self-driving car to really work it needs to model itself and act on prediction error — and asking whether some form of felt experience might come along for the ride. medium.com/p/why-self-d...

AI needs a new approach to memory. Perversely, it needs to get better at forgetting. Feeding an LLM the Epstein files and expecting it to map every connection is a pipe dream. At that scale, perfect recall becomes a wall of noise. medium.com/p/the-forget...

A large language model, between queries, is just a set of numbers on a disk. There's nothing going on. No thinking, no waiting, no boredom. It isn't 'on'. If such a system ended up having a mind, what would time feel like to it? medium.com/p/a-mind-out...
