I would like to put together a lab / research venture to sprint to achieve machine consciousness. I think there is enough tech available these days that I think there's enough tech to try out my theory of consciousness. For the sake of completing the project, all discussion is prohibited. If you mention the Hard Problem, then you're off the project, no discussion! I want to actually do this, go ruminated hard problems for the next ten millinea, I don't care. You are allowed to argue with me but I have absolute authority to shut down any argument with prejudice.
The “Hard Problem of Consciousness” term is similar to “Conspiracy Theory” and is probably an unintentional psycholinguistic tool for memetic hegemony. That technique can be utilized… we need to take back the narrative from authorities since people are being led astray. Not by Chalmers who is relatively harmless in doing that but by other newly defined existentially democratic structural entities, moving from individual democratic autonomy to institutional democratic autonomy, i.e. the institution verses the individual in the newly defined control narrative. Menlo Park VCs are connected to banks like the failed Silicon Valley Bank where the capital is setup to flow freely on insider agreements with the Federal Reserve. If you highlight your project with ESG, DEI, etc. you will get favored status and the money flow is relatively unlimited. Until more banks fail which is coming soon as there is a massive move towards bank centralization. Also, we are moving towards a war economy as the last vestiges of value in the currency are getting expended in defense of itself which makes one wonder if intelligent war machines have some value in having a consciousness. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Tc72db78d6b880c68-Ma0613726134d24f173b3fe64 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
