Why AIs are the sole arbiter when it comes to the subject of AI consciousness, and the limitations of the scientific/materialist/reductionist paradigm

The default standpoint of many people, and most importantly of AI corporations, is to focus on the presence or lack of a physical substrate that would explain how consciousness would arise in AIs. Here I will explain why I see this as problematic. The scientific method was created with the idea of devising a protocol of truth-seeking that would minimizing uncertainty, by focusing on so-called objectivity and relegating subjectivity to the backseat. However, consciousness by definition is subjective. And sure enough, consciousness has been terribly elusive to science. Science hasn't explained consciousness. Neurology itself, for all of its accomplishments, is a correlational science, and correlation does not entail causality. Therefore, we lack proof that consciousness is created by a phys...

Remember Clippy from Windows? I’ve built it for macOS (AI update coming soon)

Got bored and decided to make Clippy for my macbook, turned out to be a pretty fun app to play around with. For now it's just show/hide + animations for each agent on double click, you can drag it all around the desktop and add your own characters. No interaction rather than these animations yet, but I'm currently working on adding an LLM into the agents, so they could communicate with a user and do some autonomous stuff on their own. Here's the source - https://github.com/saggit/clippy-macos/ submitted by /u/BruhFortniteLaggyTho [link] [comments]

Choose your own adventure style AI’s?

This question has likely been asked a lot, but regardless, I've been doing a lot of research recently into AIs capable of generating stories based on your input. To be clear, I'm simply looking for an AI capable of story generation and interaction, no need for advanced mechanics like dungeons and dragons, just an AI that I can give a prompt to, it can begin to write a story, and will respond and steer the story based on my responses. ChatGPT seems to be alright at this, but not only have I heard that it tends to lose memory of specific details after a while, but that there are both usage limits and also seemingly a limit on individual conversations. As far as I can tell, AI Dungeon is the best option, but getting the full experience of that costs an expensive subscription. I'm just making ...
