I don't believe this guy has consciousness. What possible connection to human consciousness would an LLM have. They are bad predictive models and have no relevance to human consciousness. This guy needs to eat some mushrooms then tell me what he thinks about the human brain.
⚡️💬 NEW - Stephen Wolfram says LLMs may have put the final nail in the coffin of the idea that consciousness is something magical beyond physics.
What we call awareness, this “single thread of experience,” might have begun as a way for early animals to decide whether to turn left or right.
And that, he admits, feels a little disappointing.

🤣 Wolfram has always been a Ray Kurzweil type. Smart in the maths sense, dumb in being a normal human sense, and a pathetic “I wanna be an elite too” type of person.
