Let me tell you about a Microsoft AI researcher […] who recently spent quite a lot of time considering whether the legendary Microsoft real time strategy game Age of Empires II is conscious, and built a basic neural network within the video game using digital goats to prove his point. […]
De Wynter built an LLM within AoEII using goats. “The point of the paper is to formally show that we anthropomorphise too readily, and that sometimes the claims we make with regards to LLM capabilities are too strong,” he told 404 Media. “It’s not an easy task, given that ‘human-like attributes’ is a bit of an abstract term.”
I disagree I think they can be. Just need to qualify the way you are using the term. Also no one actually just considers that our universe is very friendly to intelligence and consciousness there maybe much deeper reasons why. Like yea of course up is up, down is down, but maybe that is just exactly what consciousness needs to emerge? What we know as euclidean space is fundamental to life itself the reason it exists it is always going to happen. Or something idk im stoned.
