My statement was not precise enough. #consiousness has no good accepted definition
I was aiming at how #llm #ai can lead to more Insight how reasoning (cognitive) processes in the brain work.
Reasoning llm models work with a number of intermediate ingredients, and so does human reasoning. What is comparable and what is not seems like a good philosophical question.
see for the steps of llm reasoning how I mean it this video
model pre-mtraining, post training, reasoning prompting, reinforcement learning

A global emergent workspace in language models (J-space) https://www.anthropic.com/research/global-workspaceJ-space wasn’t designed or programmed. It emerged on its own during training process. J-space has a number of unique properties:
- Claude can report on these representations. If you ask Claude what it's thinking about, it will tell you what’s in the J-space. Non-J-space representations are less reportable.
- It can also modulate them on request. If you ask Claude to think about something, or solve a problem silently in its head, it will light up the appropriate patterns in its J-space. By contrast, it has trouble modulating patterns not in the J-space.
- Claude uses its J-space for internal reasoning. If you ask Claude to solve a problem that requires multiple steps, the intermediate steps will light up in its J-space, even when it doesn’t say them out loud. These J-space patterns causally mediate its performance in such tasks, despite being smaller in magnitude than other representations.
- Representations in the J-space can be used flexibly for many tasks—for example, once “France” has lit up in Claude’s J-space, the model can recall its capital, or its national currency, or the continent it belongs to.
- However, despite its important role, the J-space is not involved in most of what a language model does—speaking fluently, recalling simple facts, using correct grammar, etc. In experiments where we prevented Claude from using its J-space, it still interacted normally, but lost its higher-order cognitive functions.

To alleviate the suffering we are witnessing, the best thing to do is to do nothing.

Interesting perspective.
I have recently realised that all that 'technology' is, is just a more effective ways to affect change around you.
If, as some say, quantum fields #consiousness is fundamenta l characteristics of our universe.
It may well be that peak 'technology' is just 'thinking' to make things happen.
The most powerful tool available to us is our brain, in more ways than one.

И снова философские зомби и квалиа
Недавно я прочитал статью Парадокс Ньюкома и искусственный интеллект и понял, что с появлением ИИ многие мысленные эксперименты стали реальными. Действительно, ИИ можно сохранять, стирать память, клонировать итд. А что сам ИИ думает по этому поводу?

Absolutely fascinating. Is consciousness more pervasive like gravity? Short watch by Annaka Harris.
