... In popular media, there is often a connection drawn between the advent of awareness in artificial agents and those same agents simultaneously achieving human or superhuman level intelligence. ...
... We find that all three theories specifically relate conscious function to some aspect of domain-general intelligence in humans. ...
... Given this apparent trend, we use the motivating example of mental time travel in humans to propose ways in which insights from each of the three theories may be combined into a unified model. ...

... If everyone is constantly complaining about how shitty America is, a lot of Americans are going to take that to heart and decide not to have children. Which is a shame because America is actually a pretty nice place to live. ...

... You don't need to go to CPT to argue that "deep down" there is no such thing as causality. Newtonian mechanics is also governed by algebraic equalities, so it is symmetric, telling us that f=ma is as valid as a=f/m. ...

... So if Newt Gingrich forced the BLS to lower the CPI as a backdoor way of cutting Social Security payments, did he force the BEA to do the same thing so it wouldn't look suspicious? ...

... For example, she has shown that speakers of languages that use different words for different types of spatial relationships (e.g. "left" versus "right") are better at remembering the location of objects than speakers of languages that do not make this distinction. ...

... The brain uses a mental language to represent and organize complex ideas and concepts. This mental language is thought to be distinct from natural languages like English or Spanish, and it is believed to be the medium through which we think and process information. ...
... According to the LOTH, the structure and content of this mental language are shaped by the structure and content of the natural languages that we learn, but it is not identical to any one natural language. ...
... Instead, it is thought to be a universal language that is used by all humans to represent and process complex ideas. Link: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/language-thought/ ...

... This is how humans reached this level of intelligence. In some sense, language and its syntax provides the programming language for brains and reduced the need for specialized neural circuitries. ...
... To reach the same level of intelligence without a vastly larger number of neural circuitries in artificial neuron networks, they need to be able to do the same thing. . ...

... Boroditsky has conducted a number of studies that have shown how the language we speak can influence our perception of time, space, and other aspects of our environment. For example, speakers of languages that use different words for different types of snow (e.g. ...
... "wet snow" versus "dry snow") are better at discriminating between different types of snow than speakers of languages that do not make this distinction. ...

... ATB proposed that such a hierarchy corresponds to the hierarchy of objects in the real world. This might be a bit too speculative. Columns learn from prediction errors. They can predict raw sensory inputs; they can also predict signals by other columns produced from sensory inputs. ...

... More precisely, LLMs model the concepts in natural languages using the language (albeit in a different syntax). Obviously, LLMs don't need to learn the concepts from scratch, they already have encoded words. ...
... More importantly, it doesn't need to learn a representation of the kinds of relationships between concepts, those are also encoded in words in the language as well, such as, "is", "belong to," "cause", etc. Here comes the more speculative part. ...
... To perform cognitive tasks, LLMs need to learn the specific relationships between specific concepts, and those relationships can be connections between a group of words, e.g., "swan", "black", "is", here "swan" and "black" are two concepts while "is" is the relationship between them. ...
... A language phrase encodes the relationship. Thus one might be able to say that LLMs model the world in language. It might be a totally different gramma from natural language, but a syntax nonetheless and it's quite possible that this syntax is inspired by the syntax in natural language. ...
... The ability to model concepts using words, phrases and even sentences combined with syntax is critical. [It might be the reason we humans reached our level of intelligence](https://www.themind.net/hypotheses/8yof9E9YTYu4vHQI4qgBcw). ...
