What would the backlash be? Has “qualia” fallen out of favor among people who think being asleep == not being conscious? Frankly given that opening confusion I am surprised you’ve heard the word qualia.
- exe34 3y agoQualia is magical thinking. It implicitly assumes a Cartesian theater, and leads to infinite regress.
- llamaimperative 3y agoAnd yet here I am having continuous, direct interaction with subjective experience and yet I have zero evidence for a Cartesian theatre… simply claiming one implies the other is not the same as proving it.
- exe34 3y ago> with subjective experience So you claim. I can prompt an LLM to do the same.
- llamaimperative 3y agoCorrect, you have no way to verify my claims, which is exactly my argument. Thanks!
- exe34 3y agoIt's like playing chess with a pigeon. My fault really.
- llamaimperative 3y agoHaha, indeed :)
