If I go to sleep, wake up, and then go to sleep again am I a different conscious entity each time?

Possibly. If I had some side-effect-free means to permanently prevent all sleep I'd take it without hesitation. But that's not relevant to the discussion, because it's not anything similar to what an LLM does. Your brain changes state even while sleeping.

  • In what way does your brain change state while sleeping that a model does not change state via constant fine-tune updates?

    • It's possible that an LLM is conscious during training, but there are no "constant fine-tune updates" during inference.
