But every such technological light would seem to be accompanied by a shadow of sorts. That said, I think if you zoom out enough, it’s clearly a net positive development
nothing in that quote implies a demystification of consciousness, just a mapping of mental states to database rowsI think this is most poignantly where I differ from the board. This excites me endlessly, whereas I suspect it may be among the most dreadful possible news some of you could imagine.
We are getting closer and closer to demystifying consciousness. May happen sooner than I thought, as I was unaware of the research covered by this article.
Yeah I don’t think this research will bring us all the way there, or even closely, but I do think it indicates a clear and substantive step forward.nothing in that quote implies a demystification of consciousness, just a mapping of mental states to database rows
I agree, I think the most advanced AI techniques I am aware of come nowhere close to artificial consciousness. But I do think artificial consciousness is clearly the thing we are building towards, just don’t know how long it will take, how many steps of punctuated equilibrium we are away from it.AI as it currently exists doesn't really have anything to do with human consciousness
As in, the failure of human consciousness to process high-dimensional datasets? I agree, and I don’t think artificial consciousness will necessarily be made to fit the mold of natural consciousness. It may be qualitatively different altogether.the success of AI as currently understood is predicated on the failure of human consciousness
what we're building towards is the mechanisation of human consciousnessI agree, I think the most advanced AI techniques I am aware of come nowhere close to artificial consciousness. But I do think artificial consciousness is clearly the thing we are building towards, just don’t know how long it will take, how many steps of punctuated equilibrium we are away from it.
Could be a semantic thing here, but I would largely consider this to qualify as artificial consciousness.what we're building towards is the mechanisation of human consciousness
And may even be able to communicate to humans this experience.I literally think we will program something that can experience the world not entirely unlike how we experience it.
