Another thoughtful case for why intelligence isn't consciousness, from @anilkseth, Ned Block and Giulio Tononi in Nature.
It brings to mind Irreducible by semiconductor pioneer Federico Faggin, who argues consciousness is fundamental, not computed.

Fascinating research suggests the brain can still process language under anesthesia.
It made me think of *The Diving Bell and the Butterfly*, and what we might learn about patients unable to communicate. How do we detect awareness?

Super interested in the connection to Jainism, which has regarded plants as sentient beings for over 2,000 years. Some Jains even avoid root vegetables because harvesting them destroys the entire plant. Fascinating to see modern consciousness research exploring questions that ancient philosophies approached from a very different direction.
Could AI trigger the next smartphone supercycle?
@cristianoamon joins @alexeheath at Snapdragon Summit to discuss AI agents, smart glasses, data centers and 6G.
Our Snapdragon Insiders also got a front-row seat to the recording. Not a bad Summit experience!

I think since Android runs on Arm hardware the 'definitive' Googlebook experience will be on @Snapdragon hardware. They also offer better battery life (and performance on battery) vs the competition.
It's kind of incredible how far ahead Qualcomm is over Intel right now.
The Intel Core Ultra 5 325 in the Lenovo Googlebook 15 came out this year, while the Snapdragon X Elite in the XPS Googlebook came out in June 2024, but it beats Intel very handidly.
Here's the numbers: https://t.co/sv5jCTeJAE
This is definitely going to be a fascinating conversation. And IMHO this is a critical topic we need to wrestle with immediately, before too much damage is done.
I’m looking forward to this conversation with @jonkabatzinn in New York City on October 14, hosted by Steve Stein. We’ll talk about what happens when we begin to accept “pretend empathy” from machines, and why we need to protect what makes our relationships human. Join us in person at All Souls or via livestream.
