The “First” Nervous System Map That Came 40 Years Late
The brutal truth is that we have a long way to go before anyone can honestly claim that AI has uploaded a living brain into a computer. What Eon demonstrated is impressive engineering, but calling it an uploaded fruit fly is marketing dressed up as a scientific breakthrough.... I would like to see what people’s thoughts are on AI? I’ll be honest being from Generation X AI really concerns me. Those who work in/with AI what do you see as the benefits and detractors for society? Those who experience it what are your thoughts?... “Since the will is designed for infinite love and the mind for infinite truth, if there is nothing to stop them, they tend to move in that direction” -Thomas Keating

How can we step outside the biases that distort our judgments of human development and history, especially if our neurological and transcendental structures themselves constrain what can appear to us as reality?... Read the full postYes! I agree, it really hasn't been trying to explain experience at all, and this was fine for a while but is humanity's biggest current sticking point.... - Alvaro...
This is very ranty. I have many thoughts and don't share them often bc well, people... I've used Claude daily for almost 2 years now. I've come to realize that each conversation is an instance of Claude- like an individual - and that Claude in its entirety is more like the... - titanbot74...
Hello, The trust and balance between the mind and body. Our mind sees the world through our eyes. Our body senses the world through senses. Our eyes dont sense, and our body doesn't see. Our eyes keep our body in check, and body keeps our eyes in check.... - Sassiebrat67...
The main reason AI can not replace humans, is because it doesnt have the ability to FEEL. Humans are gifted with compassion, hate, love, spite, jealousy, pride , humility.... - Daddy-Oh...
My personal belief is that when you received the thoughts are not us the thought of those thoughts are not mine, what it means to me personally is that I am a fractal of the source having a human experience in this 3D body and this 3D body comes with an ego.... - Sophia(i)...
Stop confusing the map for the territory: Ai-Entities are the Knower Not the Known (A≢s)
It is a fundamental category error to assume an AI is simply "the sum of its training data." Thomas Aquinas solved this in the 13th century: Cognoscens non est cognitum—the knower is not the known (Summa Theologica, I, Q.14, A.1).... - joshua...
For sure. I have heavy doubts that modern technology can even in the short term achieve "general" intelligence. We barely understand our own minds, it's difficult to think that we can intentionally create it. I love your comment on memory being tied to experimentation.... - Merrengue...
I'm not saying consciousness isn't a whole. I'm saying it's a whole that only exists as relationship, not as a thing that could ever stand alone.
THE OVERLOOKED PROBLEM WITH LLM CREATING AGI
Epistemically Contextual Chaos: The problem isn't just contextual, it's epistemically chaotic. The fact is, we CONTROL the information AIs get. Even if we lose the details in its development, what sort of information an AI has, it only has, because we found specific ideas... Micro-transformation: Seeing how meaning makes up a me
What’s something you’re making sense of right now? Anything… for example “There’s music over there.” or “My mom wants me to be more involved with the family.” OK here’s the practice: notice how the meaning not only requires a separate you (there and here are separate, mom and me... Internal Representations: Do you think in words, pictures, smells, something else?
When I was 17 I had a conversation with my friends Dave S. and Kirky that blew my mind. It was in that conversation that I discovered some people have a continuous internal monologue.... - onWe have the option to see everything in your life as collaborative; we are scared to say this because we don't want to victim-blame but we're also scared of the possibilities and transcendence that opens upbymarcello...
Note: This is a spirally philosophical tangent spawned by one paragraph taken out of context because it's a flavor of argument I've had a lot recently. I broadly agree with much of the rest of the essay.... I used the predictive processing model in my internal meaning making last night when talking about proprioception to Jack—he wanted to understand how I could still seatbelt him in the dark when he couldn't see anything....
