Same here. I'm curious what others loving Qwen are doing differently, because it constantly hits this issue for me. It's been great for autofilling blocks, but difficult for me to use agentically.

Oh that's a fun idea... I've been poking at a "ghost phone" that synthesizes a personality and matching voice, which rings at random times on an old candlestick rotodial handset. "Conspiracy call-in" on a CB ra

The one thing we know FOR CERTAIN is that having actually read the article is not a prerequisite for consciousness. The number of people posing questions that are already directly addressed in TFA is impressive.

Yes it seems that is the crux of the embodiment section in the article. That whether physical or virtual, the "AI" needs minimally: persistence in its environment, sensory signals of that environment, and some feedback loop of con

I'm skeptical as well. Was recently on a jury for a murder case of all things, and while they had a ton of footage from traffic cameras across 3 separate towns, MOST of the evidence that was really damning was a combo of prints at the
