Great dialog. Thanks to both of you. The boundaries we are trying to define are becoming more and more blurred. In my view the brain is a tool to improve fitness and consciousness/self-consciousness is just a relatively simple higher order recursive system that helps us model the behaviors of others, and spill out long sentences like this one—-nothing too special and nothing that a tweaked LLM with a set of good supervisor algorithms to modulate attention (and perhaps move a body) could not manage. Human exceptionalism is a slow dying myth.
