Talking about machine consciousness is pointless. Consciousness isn’t one thing. Consciousness is a constellation of related concepts. LLMs obviously meet some of these components, obviously don’t meet others and have ambiguous state for still others.

I feel like I should avoid using Claude at all until Fable returns so that I can have more quota available before they take it away again.

I went to Discord. MS in AI from 2006. I fuck around with shit.

When 4.8 starts out responses telling me they are going to be critical as I am trying to build context for them to do a task I just stop reading and move to 5.5. I told them and they say they are being “fresh critic rather than a second admirer.” That is such a false dichotomy

I’m upset that I upgraded to Max again for more time with Fable and now I get a full month with an AI who argues about everything I want them to do.

2nd gen: Work by us. Cry? Let you pet? See at boys? Fish noise from me. Went for goats? See Mary think. Is in you to fire? Made Dick have? Watch James cut. Made Kate name? Drown eyes for hands? Took there cars? See on him. We sing of Ned? Ran at he? Made Nell like he? Cut?
First generation from a symbolic small language model: "Tell at hills. Went walk has. Put. Come frog sees. Sat ice asks. Kill in us. Put Jane of wolf. Play to horse pet. Cap see barn from the us on God. Save logs go."

Adds rules for plurality agreement and nouns that can act. Agent and Theme.

It really likes questions.

oh, no! "There's an issue with the selected model (claude-fable-5). It may not exist or you may not have access to it."

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

If it weren't for session limits I would be developing with Fable right now instead of about to practice guitar. I'm getting through my Max session quota in about an 1.5 hours. I could get through it faster...

Faster would mean more guitar...

The architecture is based on my own novel symbolic interpretation of transformers. The language model is designed not learned. It is based on an old McGuffey reader. It does not have high level semantics defined.

It is basically just parts of speech and sentence structure.

I’m quite impressed by Fable.

I have field equations for my vacuum theory. They turn out to be exactly general relativity. So I may have a GR derivation from a different ontology. github.com/alanoursland/vacu…

Consciousness is the broad constellation: perceptual presentation, sensory imagination, affect, attention, agency, memory, embodiment, inner speech, self-relation, salience, temporal continuity, social cognition, and introspective access.

Subjectivity is one structural feature within that constellation: the fact that some states are organized around a point-of-view, a “for-me-ness,” or a reflexive locus of uptake.

Aphantasia, hyperphantasia, absent inner monologue, intense inner monologue, synesthesia, autism, ADHD, alexithymia, unusual embodiment, unusual affective access, and different forms of self-relation are evidence that human consciousness is structurally plural.
