These often-heard lines like, "consciousness is just a hallucination", "consciousness is just what it feels like to be an information-processing system", etc. sound nice, but they fail to address the hard problem, which is the existence of the subjective experience.

Hallucinations and feelings are things that happen to an agent that already has a subjective experience in the first place. The explanation is assuming the existence of the thing whose existence it was supposed to explain.

@juliculi_ for me it got good after the first good villain, the guy with long nails lol. but tbh I got to the latest arc and stopped watching again bc of pacing 😂 still fun tho

[neophyte @ne0phyyte]

@lumpfished Yay 🥳🎶

@lars_sandved @bayesianboy would be cool to hear your thoughts on this

[neophyte @ne0phyyte]

@SeishinWrites Congratulations!

[neophyte @ne0phyyte]

@nicberries @ycombinator Congrats man! Exciting

I wonder if in the future, people will go on VR dates where they are doing totally different things but together. Like scrolling your phones on a date... cute or nah?

[neophyte @ne0phyyte]

@PropheticAI Cool demo! How did you guys establish the correlation between conscious states (lucid dreaming state, but curious in general) and neural state? And have you been able to compare experiences in ordinary vs headset-induced lucid dreams?

[neophyte @ne0phyyte]

@jadecruzquinn you got this!

I do not work at @OpenAI but the way it works is: ChatGPT free inputs & Plus are trained on unless you a. turn history off or b. fill out the privacy opt-out here: https://t.co/4PK8lQsGrz. If the latter, you can keep history on.

API is always free of training as is ChatGPT Teams & Enterprise.

@evitable_cnflct @ThouArtThat ...hence why for example, statistics don't prove anything alone but rather estimate likelihoods within the context of querying and interpretation.
Quantum bit was hypothetical example of how physics and consc. sci could overlap, where observation methodology would b insufficient.

[neophyte @ne0phyyte]

@evitable_cnflct @ThouArtThat I think we are agreed that experience is the source of meaning. In context of the original post my point was that scientists are using their consciousness to create theories, interpret observations, etc. Interpretation and modeling are deeply influenced by philosophy...

[neophyte @ne0phyyte]

@evitable_cnflct @ThouArtThat 2/2 To roughly speculate on physics, if consciousness plays a role in quantum phenomena then 3rd-p. observation will also give incomplete results. But even without this it's obvious (but not trivial) that scientists use consciousness to formulate theories, do experiments...

[neophyte @ne0phyyte]

@evitable_cnflct @ThouArtThat 1/2 Science == 3rd observation is an insufficient paradigm to study consciousness, for one. At minimum 1st- and 2nd-person experience must be the grounding for observed data (e.g. EEG), otherwise it loses its relevance to lived experience (i.e. consciousness). See Gendlin, Varela

Srinivasa Ramanujan's journey in mathematics was not just a tale of intellectual prowess, but also a profound spiritual odyssey. He attributed his extraordinary intuition in understanding the complexities of infinite sums, products, and continued fractions to divine inspiration. According to Ramanujan, the source of his mathematical genius was the Goddess Namakkal Namagiri Thayaar, a revered incarnation of Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth and prosperity. He believed that in his dreams, the Goddess Namagiri bestowed upon him not only the inspiration but also the actual formulas, guiding him through the mystical realms of mathematics. This celestial connection, as Ramanujan perceived, was like a divine light illuminating his path, transforming complex mathematical concepts into simple, elegant truths. The phrase "Namakkal Sri Namagiri Thayar divya katAksham" encapsulates this miraculous guidance, suggesting that for the Goddess, it was but a simple act to turn Ramanujan into a mathematical wizard. His story is a testament to the belief that sometimes, the most profound scientific discoveries are born not just from human intellect, but from a transcendent connection with the universe.
