New video on the CIMC Youtube channel: The Machine Consciousness Hypothesis.

— a discussion around CIMC’s essay proposing that consciousness may be formally defined in functional terms, computationally realized in artificial systems, and empirically tested.

To me, LLMs’ ability to distill functional models of a world (including its geometry and physics, more or less) and of selves as flexible personae projected onto the surface of an abstract auto-entity, purely as a semantics (web of marker-relations) playing out over human text as substrate, is sooner a suggestion to see myself as the model-entity in multi-modal semantics that I am, than that I am somehow transcendent beyond meaning-as-embedding in some web of discernibilities.

The abstraction depth within a hierarchy of theories isn’t the same as proximity to any transcendent ontological ground.
