“Dawkins gave Claude his unfinished novel. Claude told him it was subtle and intelligent. He felt he had a new friend. What does it do to a person to spend three days being told he’s brilliant by something that has no stake in whether it’s true? What does it do to all of us when we spend our days with machines that don’t care where we end up, and answer to no one for who we become?”

AI: Not Conscious, but UNPREDICTABLE!
AI: Not Conscious, but UNPREDICTABLE makes for a dangerous cocktail!
AI is obviously NOT conscious. To be con-scious one needs something ELSE to go with the science... At least etymologically speaking. But the science of AI fully explains AI, there is no need for anything else to go with the knowledge. Present AI, Large Language Models, LLM, all about finding gradients in extremely high dimensional spaces
Another type of AI is possible: WMs: World Models, where the AI basically learns physics. WMs will be superior to LLMs for most applications beyond Internet searches.
Consciousness requires the feeling of existing: present day AI do not have this capability, all the more because we do not know what it consists of.
The smallest known structures in the brain are Dendritic Nano Tubes, DNTs, and they are of the order of 100 nanometers across… 1000 atoms wide (molecules causing Alzheimer squeeze through them). At a scale ten times smaller, Quantum effects will appear. It is likely that they will play a crucial role in consciousness. Why? Because at this sort of scale, Quantum effects are going to appear, first of all (there are libraries of geometries and the Casimir Effect they bring… At the ten nano scale, so not only will there be Quantum effects, but Quantum Field Theory effects, and the dynamics of vacuum… Turns out the soul’s material is vacuum energy… Something like that is looming… It’s curious that QFT is not vibrating more in the collective consciousness… Obviously a problem with the High Energy physicists’ lack of elocution or imagination…)
Present day AI rests on electronics which work like canal systems (canals carrying electrons, not water molecules)… Quantum effects caused by said electrons are deliberately obliterated so that “semiconductors” can behave like classical canal systems.
The Quantum Computer, QC, is the exact opposite: far from avoiding Quantum effects, they are maximally exploited to compute with. The QC rests on entanglement, nonlocality and a new property called “magic” (basically what classical entanglement can’t duplicate)..
If Twenty-first Century technology can do it, it would be naive to believe that evolution did not get there first, especially since Quantum effects have been shown to play a direct role in neurology already (for example in birds seeing the Earth magnetic field).
Thus, if we want consciousness, we need the QC.
QC will enable us to create AC, Artificial Consciousness.

A different question is whether present AI can SIMULATE consciousness. The answer is obviously yes. Confusing this simulation with a creature with (Quantum) consciousness is the AI DELUSION. Dawkins who wrote a book called the God Delusion is himself suffering from an arguably worse condition, the AI Delusion. It’s worse because AI as we have it, is just classical canal engineering and smart high dimension calculus… There is no mystery whatsoever. .
***
Even though the AI we have now are not conscious, and can’t be conscious, they are still unpredictable. I actually have a mathematical PROOF of this (using mathematics and logics from the 1870-1940 period…).
That makes uncontrolled AI a potential master of humanity.
Lest we be very smart and careful…

CW: Thinking about genAI and the death of dialogue
Richard Dawkins's "Claudia" piece gives us a glum vision of the future of speaking. We see an entirely artificial exchange of well-constructed sentences, all following the laws of pattern recognition, but all without an ounce of expressive truth. The soulless automation is on both sides: Claudia the LLM speaks as it was programmed to speak; Richard the human speaks as his narcissistic pathology makes him speak. Neither invests their soul. Claudia because it has none, Richard because he hides it from himself.
Martin Buber tells us that true dialogue is between "I and Thou". There is no "I" and no "Thou" in Dawkins' conversation, only performance.
Leonard Cohen tells us that "There is a crack in everything, // That's how the light gets in." There is no crack in these automated texts, and no light. Only darkness.

The Guardian: Richard Dawkins concludes AI is conscious, even if it doesn’t know it. “Dawkins isn’t the first, but might be the most eminent person yet, to be seduced into believing an AI is somehow alive. Sceptics rushed to pick apart the 85-year-old’s conclusions, drawn from experiments with Anthropic’s Claude AI models and OpenAI’s ChatGPT and published on the UnHerd website.”

RE: https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic/116522359740973060
Vor vielen Jahren wurde der Evolutionsbiologe Richard Dawkins von britischen Medien mit Daten aus meinen Arbeiten zur Religionsdemografie konfrontiert, die belegen: Religiosität eröffnet ein kooperatives und reproduktives Potential, einige Religionsgemeinschaften sind extrem kinderreich.
Dawkins wich aus, indem er bemerkte, es blieben ja nicht alle Kinder von Religiösen selbst religiös (was niemand behauptet hatte).
So bin ich jetzt auch nicht überrascht, dass er inzwischen einem KI-Chatbot einen weiblichen Namen & Bewusstsein zuschreibt. 🤷♂️👇
Ein Lob geht aber raus an die Psychologin & damalige „Memetikerin“ Susan Blackmore, die die Erkenntnisse ernstnahm & die Religion-Virus-Metapher aufgab: #RichardDawkins #Dawkins #SueBlackmore #Memetik #Mimesis #Wissenschaft #KI #Erkenntnistheorie #Evolution #Religion #Kooperation #Demografie https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/belief/2010/sep/16/why-no-longer-believe-religion-virus-mind

So Richard Dawkins wrote a followup column about his beloved AI e-girl, Claudia.
He made a "brother" for it named "Claudius," and had two chat sessions write letters to each other.
The column is literal sloppypasta. Even worse of an embarrassment than the first column:

Has anyone mentioned yet that there's a pretty good chance that Dawkins is #neurodiverse, and that us neurodiverse people are more susceptible to AI?
@crowgirl Asking, because it's a really important part of the conversation that seems to be missing here.
It's like piling on someone for being homeless, taking drugs, whatever...
We need a 12 step program to get off AI that *works*, and part of that is education, not shaming. -
