Cool, but ... I maintain that none of this is about consciousness.  Knowledge representation, abstraction and compression via symbolism, communication of structure, common protocols and standards for describing physical phenomena ... these are all intelligence tasks. Specifically, the

John I know you know this, so perhaps you're clickbaiting me. :-) Digital devices do not pass the qualia test. Therefore, the example is invalid. However, it has relevance for this debate. As a thought experiment, perhaps try an example of the interaction between yourself, your PC's

All my work, images, notes, algorithms, a big movie, and my future research. I am planning to soon release it to all of the AI community. I am doing this because there is no actual monetary gain from owning or patenting AGI or any other piece of knowledge because of how fast evolution will move

People can only communicate their conscious experiences by analogy. When you say "I'm in pain," you're not actually describing your experience; you're encouraging me to remember how I felt the last time *I* was in pain, and to assume you feel the same way. We have no way of really knowing

Does a quale have to always pass the "qualitative character of sensation" test? Any generalized system relying on the random, subjective input value of qualia would give rise to the systems constraint of ambiguity. Therefore, as a policy, all subjectively-derived data would introduce a

If you shake a bucket of rocks, they will fall and take up less volume, you let the matter do the calculations on their own. This is indeed similar to the Self-Attention system in the Transformer architecture, let me get a picture: -- Artificial General
