The paper is called "Characterizing Human-Like Consciousness", and explicitly does not attempt to address the issue of "the structure of consciousness for minds in general" .... I suspect that the first practical AGIs created will be roughly human-like in their cognitive structures...
Sometimes I think that 80% of the people on this list think that every other AGI researcher besides themselves is a "laughingstock" ;-p .... While this list does have its value, and a certain number of excellent participants, I am very glad it is not representative of the overall AGI research community ;) -- ben On Mon, Sep 8, 2014 at 12:22 AM, Anastasios Tsiolakidis <[email protected]> wrote: > Not to demote Ben to laughing stock, but certainly the silliness of becoming > an expert on consciousness by syncretizing academic theories on consciousness > is right up there with the ridiculousness of AIXI, mathematical theories of > life, God etc. > > Anyway, I don't have anything better to offer, except a reminder that we can > hardly measure consciousness in the organisms we are familiar with, and, if > at some point we can "prove" that life is different from intelligence and > intelligence is different from consciousness (all of which I highly doubt), > then it will most likely be like jazz: if it needs to be explained to you, > you will most likely never get it.
