Alan, what is it about prednet that makes you think it’s conscious? What signs is it showing? What’s it doing that makes you think this? From what I see, it’s something that predicts the next video frame from the one it has been presented. There’s an NN for representation but... that’s it.

So what really prevents us from discovering and interacting with "aliens" (or rather individuated forms of consciousness) isn't a lack of technology but a lack of mastery of ourselves. The singular gateway to the entire universe is "inside" of us and not external. Once you operate outside of

Effective world knowledge is based on practical advancements and most practical advancements cannot be made in pure simulations (like those that can overtake the advancements in the real world). Something like a triple abstraction principle in mathematics including the transformational algorithms

Recursive self improvement in a closed environment is not possible because intelligence depends on knowledge and computing power. These can only come from outside the simulation. Nor can any simulation model the outside world exactly because Wolpert's theorem prohibits two computers from mutually
