The latest neural network models are brilliant at mimicking aspects of cognition, but mistaking that for explaining consciousness is like confusing a weather simulation with the storm itself. We still lack even a theory of how subjective experience arises from computation. #neuroscience #consciousness #AI

@gusseting@mastodon.social @toxi@mastodon.thi.ng @JulianOliver@mastodon.social @mattsheffield@mastodon.social @crowgirl@hachyderm.io I don't think it is Richard Dawkins being neuro diverse, I think it is the majority missing the point, not really addressing the concepts involved. Dawkins didn't actually conclude #ai is #conscious as the headlines say, it's more like he was saying you cannot tell the difference. What is the definition of #consciousness anyway? nobody knows.

"The Hard Problem of Consciousness" hasn't been solved because it's the wrong question. We need to be working on "The Hard Problem of Matter."

There are people I love.There are people who love me. I fight for what I believe, protect those I could, and stand my ground against the encroaching darkness. I often (but not only) post things I've found around the web that I think are neat. My statements and posts here do not necessarily represent those of any organization or business I am part of, nor should they be taken as if they do.
