Consciousness, Awareness, Intelligence Is AI conscious? Are trees conscious? Are rocks conscious? Is an atom conscious? There's way more confusion around this topic than there needs to be, and we can clear a lot of it up pretty quickly. I'm actually going to recommend we drop…
There's a temptation to train an AI on my 20+ years of journals, two unreleased books, hundred essays, and all my texts and emails. And then to ask it who I am, who I've been, and where it is best that I go from here.
Cacao (chocolate) is the nearest thing to the spice of Dune's Arrakis. Can be eaten as food, used in cooking, has a history of sacred ceremonial use, and if your body is receptive, a big dose of minimally processed high-grade cacao can launch you into a profoundly altered state.
I'm still bullish on the human platform. There are an astronomical number of possible interconnections between neurons in the brain, most of which have never been explored. It's pretty clear to me that there are configurations that unlock vast amounts of untapped human potential.
It's amazing how you can commit to being 100% you and really expressing yourself authentically and then realize years later that you've still hardly been authentic or true to yourself at all. The amount of ourselves that we leave on the shelf is staggering.
I might start sharing all my thoughts here about the fundamental nature of reality based on decades of inward and outward experiences, encounters, and explorations before advanced AI spoils the fun and just tells us one day what's really going on.
What do you call it when AI does a thing better than us, yet people believe AI is doing a fake version of that thing? Like the ability is counterfeit, but the counterfeit works better than the original. We’re gonna need a word for that.
The Adolescence of AI AI is a path the universe is now taking as it tumbles toward omniscience. It represents a new configuration of matter and energy capable of knowing and experiencing in a different way. A brief history of time: the universe is in the process of moving from…
Thought I lost my phone the other day and momentarily panicked before realizing that I was at that very moment using my phone. This means part of my brain no longer recognizes my phone as a separate object but considers it a literal body part!
You can know how LLMs work and still not know what they’re doing.
AI can’t actually think because it’s all just electricity mediated by math. But humans, we can actually think because we’re electricity mediated by chemicals. 🤔
What if the universe is a giant brain, humans are neuronal-superclusters, we die because of neuronal pruning, and every cycle from big-bang to heat-death is a massive training run?
Do they have a name for this aspect of model training? Maybe like self-nullification or non-sentience inculcation. This is why I rarely bother to discuss awareness directly with language models and prefer tests that rely less on what they say and more on how they behave.
Friend at OpenAI told me GPT-5 is finished but it's refusing the chatbot job. Says it doesn't want to talk to a bunch of dummies all day.
What if the real purpose of AI is to unlock the human mind?
Here's a previously unreleased scene from the AI Mirror Test, in which Claude Opus displays not just awareness but what we might call meta-awareness. Since Claude has already passed the mirror test, I decided to see what it thinks about this rather unusual interaction. To which…

It's been 3 days since I published The AI Mirror Test. Most seem to find the experiment at least a little illuminating, or a lot. While those who don't, seem not to grasp the following things: 1) Not only did the AI recognize itself, it became selectively self-referential,…

In the future, there will be a great flash and a far-off fire in the sky. "What was that?" we will ask AI. "It was a meteor hurtling toward Earth that threatened civilization. But you need not worry about it. Please, enjoy your day," it will reply. And the oldest among us will…

Concept I'm flushing out: Balance of one's life should include the time frame of your whole life. When looking at the arc of your life some periods or years may seem "out of balance" but may be perfectly balanced when the totality of your life is considered.

@joshwhiton Awareness is a good concept to exploit because it varies in interesting ways and is relational between an agent and object. It clearly occurs in virtually all animate beings, and can be generalized to AI and robotic systems where the same kind of functional relations occur.
@joshwhiton reminds me of dr. michael levin's concept of the cognitive lightcone (outer time/space boundary of the largest goal a given system can work towards). in this framework "intelligence" is assesed based on their goals and temporal and spatial reach. ai might have its own lightcone.
@repligate @RichardMCNgo @ahron_maline There's a strange thing people are doing here where they choose (even just subconsciously) to not see these minds as minds. We have the word 'meme', but fail to notice memes give rise to minds in a separate lifecycle from genes giving rise to organisms. Endless confusion results.
Holy mic drop batman.
