Some time ago I've read a comment - here - about some speculation about the consciusness just being an emergent state of the brain-mind, having based the idea in some proof related to the dream cycles, when you see some stuff in brain just gone, just to re-appear after the dream cycle ends.
Hence, the idea would be that human consciusness, our "self" could be just "instantiated" every morning when you wake up, so "you" are "you" every morning, but (a big but), some stuff could be subtle different in there, your brain was a bit busy a couple of hours and things have happened there, and after that you, your "you" justs pop-ups again, in the middle of the old data plus the new data, hopefully just incrementally changed somehow, but we don't know.
Some further stuff related to this idea research pop ups - pun intended - from time to time, focusing lately in propofol and how people "reboots" from anesthesia, sometimes losing entire 10-25 min. before-after the propofol, many even forget entire conversations with doctors, nurses, whatever who they talked to, hence the brain could be doing some rollback stuff with "unsynced not trustable data" - because of propofol messing with some "fidelity algorithm" probably - somehow, and you just forget the entire input-thinking ocurred during the propofol stuff happeping in your brain.
Hope you have now these "So I'd be some kind of meat robot rebooting every night" feeling I had, and see with new eyes what happen when we "just run once" a LLM with a prompt, the entire thing "boot-ups" from nothing and runs ("just once"), to further dissapear moments later...
