Let us know where you’re going to tune in from! 🌍
@kinggizzard not that you do this but I’ve 2 x tickets for Hamburg, Wednesday, and I’m in Los Angeles. At this point, a fan can have ‘em. Do your thing?
I have two tickets for #KGLW at the Stadtpark in Hamburg this weekend and I can’t go. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard fans in Germany, they’re going for cost price.
I had a lovely conversation with The @verge’s Vergecast about the past, present and future of audio games (video games with no video): https://t.co/kn29pZMflR
@fchollet My guy, consciousness is not a function of capability. Sophistication of environmental awareness and understanding enables 3rd parties to recognize consciousness, no more. I suggested you’re back-to-front.
Why is consciousness any more than a sense of being?
@surfer_ec@fchollet This is interesting! Brain development is exactly the same speed—but definably human skills are all bio-cultural, and obtaining them takes longer. We have to learn culture, but our brains have the necessary features before birth.
@fchollet A baby has all the neurons it’s going to need (if you want to be reductive and call consciousness a purely emergent property of a brain). Synaptic connections aren’t remotely a solution to the Hard Problem.
@fchollet I challenge these definitions. You’re describing a neural default mode network which permits agency and 3rd party *social* recognition of a cultural ‘self.’ Neither requisite for awareness of existence.
@fchollet@mariopalomera Heavens, no. Newborns are nothing but consciousness. They learn to apply that to the physical following birth, and we recognize them as ‘people.’ A regression model is information, incapable of agency—entirely different to even a newborn.
