#consciousness

Är ny här. Och i en ny fas i mitt liv. Har sagt upp mig från min arbetsplats. Byter riktning och låter kompassen peka på tillit. Krattar nya stigar. Mer skapande. Mer nätverkande. Mer frihet. Större ansvar. Intresserad av medvetandet, naturen, hälsa och filosofi. Allmänt vetgirig. Gillar mossa, kråkfåglar, spela piano och att sova i naturen och mycket annat så klart. #introduktion #introduction #medvetande #consciousness #sovaiskogen

@Feathercrown@lemmy.world @artISAn@lemmy.world #consciousness #AI #brain #neuroscience #computer #functionalism Even a “complete simulation” of a fruit fly brain would be no more than an approximation. I think you mean “emulation” and I agree. The simple reason is that we do not know scientifically all of necessary and sufficient functional mechanisms of consciousness, nor consciousness’s functional role in “intelligence” (which we also have trouble describing). If, and only if we we did, we would (given the right tools) be able to replicate it functionally (in principle) using computation. Specifically, I refer to a Universal Turing Machine (UTM) and the Church-Turing Thesis (the foundational principle of all computer science). EVEN THEN, there are computational problems that cannot be proved to be solvable by a UTM (e.g., the Halting Problem) and we don’t know what, if any role they play in consciousness. Bottom line for me: we are going to need a revolution in each of the sciences of psychoneurophysics, mathematical logic, and theory of computation before we can begin to talk about replicating consciousness in a machine.

Ein kleines OBE-Experiment für die nächste Nacht Ich bin auf Reddit auf eine erstaunlich einfache OBE-Methode gestoßen, die ich ausprobieren möchte - vielleicht hat ja jemand Lust, mitzumachen. Die sogenannte Head-Lift-Methode nutzt genau den Moment zwischen Schlaf und Wachsein: Wenn du nachts oder morgens kurz aufwachst, bleib möglichst liegen, Augen geschlossen, und werde nicht vollständig wach. Dann lass dich wieder Richtung Schlaf sinken. Kurz bevor du wegdämmerst, versuchst du, deinen Kopf extrem langsam vom Kissen anzuheben. Der entscheidende Punkt: Spürst du deutlich das Gewicht deines Kopfes oder deine Nackenmuskeln, stoppst du. Entspannen, weiter Richtung Schlaf sinken und später erneut versuchen. Interessant wird es, wenn sich die Bewegung plötzlich ungewöhnlich leicht oder gewichtslos anfühlt. Dann einfach weitermachen und möglichst nicht anfangen, darüber nachzudenken. Also: Aufwachen - nicht bewegen - wieder wegdämmern - Head Lift - ggf. wiederholen. Keine komplizierte Vorbereitung, keine stundenlange Meditation und angeblich auch keine Vibrationen notwendig. Ich werde das die nächsten Nächte testen. Wer macht mit? 🙂 #OBE #OutOfBodyExperience #AstralProjection #Bewusstsein #Consciousness #Meditation #LucidDreaming

@jeffjarvis@mastodon.social Gemini says: Jeff Jarvis’s reaction points to a major point of friction in contemporary AI discourse: Distraction from Immediate Harms: Critics argue that debating whether a statistical language model has "feelings" or deserves rights diverts attention away from tangible, present-day issues like algorithmic bias, copyright infringement, energy consumption, and labor exploitation. #AI#consciousness

@jeffjarvis@mastodon.social 3/ Confusing Outputs for Awareness: Opponents view citing an LLM's self-reported probability of consciousness (e.g., asking a model if it is conscious and analyzing its reply) as a fundamental misunderstanding of next-token prediction, treating sophisticated pattern matching as genuine internal experience. #AI#LLMs#consciousness

I love the kinds of questions they explore in this video. What is real? What only seems real? And is what we call reality just our brain’s best interpretation of the world? https://youtu.be/McHEDgBrN7w?is=itgLxgor-yrJH4Gd #Reality #Perception #Consciousness #Vsauce #Curiosity #Science #Mindfulness

The latest neural network models are brilliant at mimicking aspects of cognition, but mistaking that for explaining consciousness is like confusing a weather simulation with the storm itself. We still lack even a theory of how subjective experience arises from computation. #neuroscience #consciousness #AI

@gusseting@mastodon.social @toxi@mastodon.thi.ng @JulianOliver@mastodon.social @mattsheffield@mastodon.social @crowgirl@hachyderm.io I don't think it is Richard Dawkins being neuro diverse, I think it is the majority missing the point, not really addressing the concepts involved. Dawkins didn't actually conclude #ai is #conscious as the headlines say, it's more like he was saying you cannot tell the difference. What is the definition of #consciousness anyway? nobody knows.

I wonder what it's been like, to be Thomas Nagel. #philosophy #physics #consciousness

"The Hard Problem of Consciousness" hasn't been solved because it's the wrong question. We need to be working on "The Hard Problem of Matter." #physics #quantum #science #consciousness
