Never seen Like a shadow in the dark


The reaction to Dawkins deciding Claude is conscious is fascinating. It really is just the Strong AI position that Roger Penrose was criticising in the 1980s. If you think consciousness is just an emergent property of a sufficiently complex computer then of course AI is conscious. It passes the Turing test and that’s it. The really interesting part is why it is obvious to so many of us that AI is *not* conscious: obvious to the point we think Dawkins’ credulity is amusing. What are we basing that on? Are we deluded or is there something else to consciousness that we cannot articulate but that we clearly sense?




its kind of scary but we are building god


Happy to announce that Hermes Agent's repo just surpassed Anthropic's Claude Code repo



The WSJ is living in the past with this report. Aren't they a "new"spaper? AI Agents started to work at the end of 2025. @erikbryn's group found that agents use 1000x the tokens in some cases. OpenAI has the compute capacity. They will need it.
