> Hypothesis: Day-Dreaming Loop This mirrors something I have thought of too. I have read multiple theories of emerging consciousness, which touch on things from proprioception to the inner monologue (which not everyone has.) My own theory is that -- avoiding the need for an awareness of a monologue -- a LLM loop that constantly takes input and lets it run, saving key summarised parts to memory that are then pulled back in when relevant, would be a very interesting system to speak to. It would need two loops: the constant ongoing one, and then for interaction, one accessing memories from the first. The ongoing one would be aware of the conversation. I think it would be interesting to see what, via the memory system, would happen in terms of the conversation emitting elements from the loop. My theory is that if we're likely to see emergent consciousness, it will come through ongoing awareness and memory.
