A thread and article about consciousness that's well worth reading. An interesting angle is to criticize certain definitions of consciousness by using mechanistic explanations of behavior based on the connectome.

Is this microscopic worm sentient? It’s a tough question! Increasingly, however, neuroscience is providing insights into the physical correlates of consciousness at the scale of individual neurons, and we should be excited about what it has to offer. A thread and and article.

@Ljiljana1972 Just saw Night Hawks at the Chicago Art Institute. Strangely very small collection of American art. This, American Gothic and a couple of rooms fairly little known paintings. But amazing for European Impressionism!

When @MikolajRode and I starting the Humane Philosophy Society a decade ago, our only aim was intellectual fun (definitely achieved). It is so great to reflect on how much more it has become and, with the support of people like @matraszek, the amazing future that lies ahead

@RalphStefanWeir For me it resulted in a belief which did not seem true... which was confusing given I took the justification to work...

When I first read Gettier, I thought it was supposed to be an example of justified true belief without knowledge, but for reasons which turned out to be mistaken

I was delighted and honoured to give two lectures earlier this week at two of the largest auditoriums in Oxford and Cambridge: the Mathematics Institute and Lady Mitchell Hall. Thank you to Julie Arliss and @AC_Learning_ for organising these spectacularly successful events!

Just finished some light holiday reading: this excellent book on the mind-body problem by @RalphStefanWeir. A very convincing rebuttal of the myth that substance dualism is just a Cartesian mistake, and a compelling case for rejecting our contemporary soul-phobia.

@GaryMarcus Thanks - if the errors are produced by processes we independently know to be incapable of AGI then I guess they can be taken to illustrate that incapacity. I took your post to present such errors as evidence that the LLMs lack capacity for AGI which seems less clear
