“I don't think that the consciousness in the LLM or the consciousness simulation in the LLM is has the same properties that it has in our brain. It does not have the same functional role, and it's also not implemented in the right way.”

“The way of how to get self-organizing computation to run on the brain that is producing representations of an agent that lives in the world is a simplification of the interests of that organism, so it can, the organism can be controlled. It's a difficult techn…”

“Consciousness might be a very basic learning algorithm, an algorithm that is basically focused on creating coherence, and it starts out by creating coherence within itself.”

“The reason why we are all conscious, I suspect, is not because you are so super advanced, but because it's necessary for us to function at all.”
