You're confusing multiple concepts.
The tick is at the top of an async jobs queue. The jobs provide the tick with constant updates. And this is not in real time. If you are injured say a sudden injury. You won't even notice until 2-3 ticks after.
Behavior is an emergent property of this. Not it's base.
- goatlover 2mo agoBehavior isn't consciousness. Also, brains aren't digital computers or LLMs. They're part of a living organism.
- TheOtherHobbes 2mo agoYou're arguing web servers are conscious.
- hparadiz 2mo agoConsciousness is a misnomer here. What I'm actually talking about is decision making. This applies to higher and lower life forms. Even a bacteria will decide things from moment to moment. Well okay how does this happen? Well something in the background must provide new data to the "tick". Ticks don't rebuild on each turn. They get re-used. But that re-use is updated from sensory inputs, memory, and then is filtered to limit how many tokens each congitive tick is forced to process. Anyway consciousness is an emergent property of this system. We're just state machines ultimately.
- kelseyfrog 2mo agoPersonally, I get a lot more milage out of "human brains are 100-1000 trillion parameter odes" than a discrete temporal model. There's probably some isomorphism but I find ODEs to be a much more natural model with less impedance to real world biological systems.
- hparadiz 2mo agoIt's probably both.
- gardenhedge 2mo agoBut that's not what other people mean when they say consciousness
