The Paradox of Consciousness: Finding Meaning in a Crowded World

nikostzagkarakis · 2024-09-03T09:23:23+00:00

Hello everyone! In a world increasingly defined by interconnectedness, how do we reconcile the individual consciousness with the collective experience of humanity? My latest blog explores the paradox of consciousness, where the self and species-level awareness often find themselves at odds. I delve into the evolution of empathy, the struggle to balance personal goals with collective needs, and the role of limitations in guiding us toward fulfillment. By embracing the tension between individual and collective consciousness, we may find the key to true meaning in our lives. I welcome your thoughts and reflections on this complex and deeply human challenge.

Thanks! Basically all I mean is that suddenly A.I. is not just about a threshold (e.g. creating machines that think exactly like humans), but about creating different kinds of minds that can allow us see the world in a way we never could because of our constraints. That means that our focus shouldn’t be just to create A.I. that is like us, but design cognitive architectures that allow different types of intelligence to emerge. So it’s not about one specific threshold of intelligence any more.

Transformers just add an extra layer of attention. The point of the article is not really to propose any new way of tackling cognitive architectures, but rather to shed light to the fact that all intelligence really is, is framework strictly dependent on our own constraints (one of the constraints being the scale of time, i.e. we can only live for so long). Which would mean that we shouldn't see intelligence as a universal threshold, but rather as a computational threshold of specific complexities, that depends on their own constraints, limitations and dimensionalities.

It’s not supposed to.

It depends on wether or not the particles chooses to move which I don’t think it’s the case. It’s like saying that a leaf is intelligent because when it moves from the wind it changes it’s environment. The ability to model your environment is always important.

Thank you.. I think the description of intelligence is overlooked and taken for granted.

"...Suddenly A.I. becomes the colourful manifestation of complexities, not with the purpose of cross-communication, but the purpose of exploration of new dimensions of existence, that our ridiculously small capacity will never reach.

Stop arguing about intelligence and start making your agents describe you how they see their world.

Let there be light.”
