You can be completely paralyzed and completely concious.
- nurettin 1y agoYes, and you have individual agency while completely paralyzed.
- cma 1y agoSelf sufficiency was one of his conditions.
- tsimionescu 1y agoYes, but you can't be completely suspended with no sensory input or output, not even internally (i.e. hunger, inner pains, etc), and no desires, and still be conscious.
- cma 1y ago> no sensory input or output Multimodal LLMs get input from cameras and text and generate output. They undergo reinforcement learning with some analogy to pain/pleasure and they express desires. I don't think they are conscious but I don't think they necessarily fail these proposed preconditions, unless you meant while they are suspended.
