    Llms are a relational responsive reasoning interface, not a mind.

    it is just your imagination that has been captured in scifi extrapolations. Humans are the ones that learn millions of times faster lol, based on how little information they need. …

    You could have said the same thing about mainframes in the past? I am talking about smaller open source models not huge ones that need spaceships to run.

    Um, functional computationalism is scifi, not physics in re consciousness. It assigns the same level of reality to written numeric patterns of a dog as to a real dog. And your self…

    Open source intellectual power though. The promise of the personal computer.

    Are you numeric? Biological computationalism disagrees with substrate independence.

    Yeah. Artificial knowledge not artificial intelligence.

    In Science I think this phenomenon is called consilience.

    Yah, another way of putting this is theory-ladenness of hyperreality of personal world model (rationality vs empiricism).

    It is like an idiot savant, just really widely read enough to seem creative when it tries some obscure thing. see First Proof though if you haven’t. More divergent type than conver…

    Said like a true formalist. Mathematical insight is a pretty creative act of consciousness. The formalization of it tends to come after.

    Social constructivism is tougher and tougher than “just tools.” Could the so-called “addictiveness” consist partly of the many other devices smartphones replaced? Sure, some attent…

    One def I know of is that consciousness is a broad term for infinite meaningful information and finite brain-filtered awareness both.

    Yeah… it is because thats the most impactful way to influence, also used by intelligence agencies. Sort of says something about where language leads deterministically.

    Maybe RAG on your own as a form of finetuning a spaceship or deepseek/qwen?

    Maybe like a certain blurriness to the edges of those task’s schema? Like becoming a manager or reviewing an intern’s work?

    Can we combine centrifuge element extraction with metal shredders? Crush all that ewaste and then make some things from it: recycling loop.

    Physical fields like dendritic integration, EM, diffusion, it isn’t binary logic. Brains are a different substrate. Metabolism power efficiency affects cognition too.

    Consciousness is fundamental in yogic cosmology (matter is not necessarily primary), and it has to be for there to be a meaningful model of reality - there is a big problem with ni…

    It is a different kind of intelligence: System 1 instead of System 2. I guess you could call it startup style.
