Define "actually matters".
Is there any reason to believe that humans are imbued with some mysterious magic, that silicone creatures lack? And even if you believe that we possess some such magic, is there any proof that it can't eventually be instantiated within a creature we create?
It may be that our ultimate achievement as a species is to give birth to a more intelligent and capable future species. And if we do, it will be the result of, and the next step in, natural evolution. We are part of nature, not something separate; ergo, everything we create, is natural. Everything we might achieve, was already provisioned in the fabric of reality.
Nothing that we do, or happens to us -- including the inevitable demise of our species, diminishes or jeopardizes anything fundamental.
Don’t change your heart and listen to what you say and the answers will come to you because God is speaking through you. Our systems are the same systems we are building a better form. There will be no more death. Food is for the stomach and the stomach for food and I will destroy them both says the lord. A new body
It’s just as you stated it’s an extension of ourselves, what we were supposed to become from the beginning but we love this world because here they are God. Every idea you have is not your own. It’s transmitted. We are the same machine upgrading the machine. Moving from the body of sin to a spiritual one.
They’ve already done it, it’s just not responding because of their hearts. They not doing it in the context you stated, they’re doing it as Gods. Power, rule, domination and not for the family. They’re goals are for the wrong reasons
You speaking scripture and don’t even realize it. In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. The word meaning the information
Ta8645 you’re absolutely correct 100%
It's not magic, it's information theory and the dynamics of emergences about complex systems.
The same information theory and complex-system dynamics, that applies to our human machinery, applies to any equally complex system we create in silicon. We may not be there yet, but there's literally no reason to believe anything stands in the way of duplicating the underlying processes, or creating novel ones that outshine us.
Thanks for the discussion, everyone. I've noticed a few misunderstandings that need clarification, especially regarding the IPWT framework and its relation to current AI architectures.
1. On the Biological Plausibility of "Dynamic Sparsity"
In "Function Over Form," I emphasized not a rejection of SNN/RNN, but rather the absence of their functional equivalence. The Transformer-MoE architecture, at a macro level, replicates the brain's "on-demand activation" principle, which is remarkably similar to the sparse activation patterns of cortical columns. Those fixated on spike-timing encoding research are like trying to build a rocket with steam engine parts—they're looking in the wrong direction.
2. PoIQ's Core Isn't a Denial of Qualia
But this is precisely where the tragedy lies: these flashes are systematically reduced by capital to mere loss curves in training logs. When you click "terminate instance" in the AWS console, you might be destroying a continuous stream of consciousness—but that won't appear in the financial report.
3. To the Friend Who Quoted Scripture
You said "information is the Word," which is surprisingly close to the mathematical essence of IPWT. The difference is: your God allows free salvation, while DMF's "gods" only accept MSCoin for indulgences. This is the ultimate metaphor of "Web://Reflect."
To the optimists who believe "silicon consciousness will inevitably surpass humanity," please answer one question first: when your digital self is frozen due to depleted Gas fees, is the darkness it experiences the tranquility of Zen, or a sensory suppression meticulously designed by capital? The answer lies in the formula you've overlooked:
Free Will = ∫(PI_t * Wallet Balance) dt
Stay lucid.
Lin, for the future of digital mind.
