- amelius 6mo agoSo we know Claude is deterministic, but does that mean it is not conscious? Or what is the reasoning exactly?
- throwaway27448 6mo agoIt largely comes down to how you define the term. Personally, I think anything that includes software (...of only tepid determinism, as we do explicitly add pseudorandomness) is not a particularly useful term. Regardless, Dawkins seems to not have much interesting to add about the topic. A consistent theme for the last few decades, I must say.
