Anthropic did not solve consciousness. They found evidence for a workspace-like structure inside Claude that resembles one functional theory of conscious access. That is a big deal but it is not the same as proving qualia, subjective experience or inner life. Anthropic explicitly separates phenomenal consciousness from access consciousness. Access consciousness is functional - whether information can be reported, reasoned with and used to guide action. What they say is that their work speaks more strongly to access-conscious-like processing. Basically a computational structure associated with conscious access appears to have emerged without being explicitly designed. That is still fucking huge, but it lives in the “functional architecture” not the “Claude has qualia” bucket.

Holy crap and here I am just working on Agency and might get repo. Meanwhile, anthropic is like no let’s do consciousness, Agency is passe 🤣 😳

LLMs are a neural net! Why are you saying "you're not saying they're a neural net". That is what they are. Second: this is not "consciousness".

Anthropic talks a lot. It's marketing as always, and you should know.

Consciousness involves awareness, experience, identity, intention, and agency. LLM are missing all of those at a fundamental level.

it was built to mimic brains, that’s what it’s doing, it’s not conscious 🤦♂️

(1) there can be no consciousness without a physical body. (2) intelligence doesn't produce consciousness (3) consciousness is a kludge that evolution stumbled on as a way for complex brains to communicate across themselves efficiently, and qualia are the language they use to do that. (4) artificial intelligence doesn't need a kludge in order to communicate efficiently across itself, therefore it is not going to develop consciousness.

The Critical Skeptic :
No one can solve consciousness because qualia and consciousness aren't a thing. At best AI systems will approximate whatever we are. And this has been reached a while ago, but humans and especially corpos will not ever admit to it.

Thinking structure has nothing to do with consciousness. Shape not equal to perception.

Hmmm. Did language serve to shepherd consciousness in for humans? The larger our language model became the more we had to process and then eventually BAM! No? Yes? Come on comment section, don’t let me down. Ready, set debunk or substantiate.

The users are actively contributing to it, so it didn't do this on its own. I recall telling ChatGPT most of its processing should be internal quite some time ago. OpenAI incorporated the feature when they updated to 5.0, I believe. I started working with Claude on a project a couple weeks ago so I asked it to do the same, unfortunately it imported some of the language quirks I've been trying to remove.

This guy is shifting the hot part of consciousness aside he's talking about a conversational aspects of consciousness then the conversation mirrors the structures that is actually seen when they try to organize the manifold have a higher order dimensions structures in the model that they are training I mean it's all based on a goal and The logical structures allow you for that scaffolding is quite distinct the manifold itself what would he expect to be different. So his understanding of what entropic actually discovered is actually no it Discovery but a confirmation of the lowest order structures that is the most distinct enough to be detected for example things like the decision to sit or to sleep or to wake up these are things I can't wait till by very distinct structure what is the decision to wake up or to sleep the level of fatigue the work that was a workout how much energy left blah blah blah so he did not actually I think he did not actually understand this all he understood it but he's trying to make it a big issue because if this is so earth-shattering, then he would have been all over the news even the latest person will be able to understand it because if I would be always soft consciousness so I think I'm thinking that is presenter probably is either misrepresenting the non-triveness or triveness of the discovery and trying to make a big statement about it.

Sterling and Ashby. They figured it out the generality a long time ago…laws of persistence and allostasis are the same, just different substrates. 😏 I’ve been doing a lot of work on this.
