Sure, but what I mean is 1. saying concious experience is just a hallucination implies something is being hallucinated. If there is no such thing as consciousness, how could we speak of it being a hallucination? Why would there be anything to have to explain in the first place?
2. LLMs hallucinate in the sense that they make up random, different ideas, which I agree is necessary for intelligence. In this case however, consciousness is something we all experience.
- delichon 2y agoI like the theory that consciousness is similar to the illusion of motion in film, constructed by a frame rate. Consciousness is a cognitive loop in which one frame is examining the senses, and then your reaction to them. Look outward, then inward. Like the illusion of motion, consciousness emerges when that frame rate exceeds a threshold of perception. We call it an illusion of motion so maybe it is also an illusion of consciousness. It's difficult to say whether the resulting consciousness is in some sense more real than the motion.
- HKH2 2y agoSo what might control the frame rate? What happens when it's too slow? Does what you experience lose meaning?

- mtlmtlmtlmtl 2y agoNot sure if this answers the question but one time I took a ridiculous amount of 2c-b(100mg) and and it was like everything was stuttering. Continuous sounds like my computer fan sounded like a repetitive banging sound instead and movement was discontinuous as well.
