>>10826794Optimist here. My perspective is that the entire approach to microprocessing is wrong.
The human brain is not a linear algorithm. It is automaton. It is MASSIVELY parallel. Simply running a few processors in parallel is not enough. We need trillions of parallel logic gates. This all needs to be happening simultaneously. Furthermore, the brain's version of the logic gate (synapse) does not have 2 branches, many more than that, which results in massively exponential complexity.
We need to rethink our entire approach to computation.
As for what conscuousness is. Thats not so difficult. It is what it is: sensing, classifying, imagination, planning and action. It appears to accomplish this through a GAN like system, adverserial intelligence. Essentially it pits simulated versions of itself against eachother.
