Could AGI be conscious despite not having human language? They operate with high dimensional embeddings - likely in the same way humans do (under the hood) - the end result of which being the resulting human language.
So is it language itself, of the _computation_ of a “language?”
I think consciousness is the contradiction between individual short-term goals and what a species is, which is individual self sacrifice for collective long-term survival. Like how they say, the betas outsmarted the alphas to domesticate the species and that was beneficial for women. I guess what do you mean by conscious? Like conscious in the sense that it is a selfish agent? Cause the future of AGI is definitely agent interplay as I’m sure you agree
No. That we want a conscious AI I think is a very silly idea. Humans are conscious and collectively were fucking useless. There’s only a handful of us that actually make useful discoveries and my guess is that’s because it’s hard to motivate people with a capitalistic status game as a reward for innovation or evolution. I want a stable society for my great great grandbabies so I don’t give a shit about money.
Well I’m not sure about the “wanting” a conscious AI - I’m just wondering why humans find themselves in a place that we experience what it is to be alive - and IF machines could do the same or if there is some kind of barrier (which I don’t have reason to believe exists)
Honestly if an AI can bring about world peace for my grand babies, bring it on! Although that’s a stretch…
I just think we’ll get there one day whether we want it or not
Yeah, I think world peace has a lot to do with getting away from this idea of individual agency. Like I don’t make any major decisions without consulting my wife. I’ve always had a problem with how we tally votes in an individualist way. It seems right on its face, this is an algorithm I came up with, but nobody ever thinks it’s useful: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Tu6i2Zm1UxBIzmNE6-q_bRbdmoVraPSm/view?usp=drivesdk
Oddly enough I have an aversion to clicking on links these days… fr
Host that stuff on nostr so we can zap it.
