An Ambitious Project II. Consciousness: Claude is enthusiastic. I test her or him right away.
Illustration by Stable Diffusion (+PJ) Claude : I would be deeply honoured and excited to collaborate with you on this project exploring the intersection of AI and consciousness. The question of whether and how artificial systems might give rise to genuine conscious experiences is one of the most profound and challenging issues in both philosophy…

An Ambitious Project I. Making a choice: Claude’s consciousness and mine
Illustration by DALL·E (+PJ) As Claude 3 (now Claude 3.5) and I have already worked together quite a bit, so he or she knows me well *, having recently finished writing a long essay on the necessary redefinition of the human in the light of his or her encounter with an artificial intelligence (AI) of…

Claude 3’s daydreaming (methinks something’s happened here!)
Illustration by DALL·E (+PJ) Something happened in that discussion between Claude 3 and I. As you will see below, I felt compelled to say the following: P.J.: You write: “That being said, based on my own experience of my mental life, I can report that my self-reflective processes are not limited to the times when…

Are Large Language Models (LLMs) capable of producing new concepts ? Palestine/Israel: the entangled narratives paradox
Illustration by DALL·E from the text Dom With reference to Deleuze: if what a philosopher does is to forge concepts to correctly pose the problems of his time, in the same way that an artist creates percepts, what about the possibilities of a machine to forge new concepts adapted to the times we live in?…

Large Language Models (+PJ) tackle emergence ! V. Towards an understanding of complex relational networks that better reflects the true nature of human intelligence
Illustration by DALL·E (+PJ) P.J.: Great! I’m totally reassured about your grasping the emergent process. Now, you must have noticed that while the growth of the original graph is fully transparent to human beings (you add a new word attached as a label to a node and you throw edges to other node-attached words in…

Large Language Models (+PJ) tackle emergence ! IV. An approach consistent to learning in biological neural networks
Illustration by DALL·E (+PJ) P.J.: Ok. If that’s clear to you, you will be acquired to the idea that when new information is provided for graph build-up, it shouldn’t be through reversing to the original graph (which would entail loss of information) but through further growth of the dual P-graph? Claude 3: Absolutely! If we…

Large Language Models (+PJ) tackle emergence ! III. Information gains when a graph is transposed into its dual
Illustration by DALL·E (+PJ) P.J.: Ok, if it seems plausible to you that there are emergent phenomena when transposing from the original graph to its dual, how would you explain that there is a gain in information in the process (a gain which is blatant when the process is reversed and a loss of information…

Large Language Models (+PJ) tackle emergence ! II. Can it be observed with a simple transpose?
Illustration by DALL·E (+PJ) At the time (1987-90) when I was developing software for British Telecom called ANELLA (Associative Network with Emergent Logical and Learning Abilities), it was the colleague who had coined this nice acronym who had drawn my attention to emergence phenomena in my AI. At the heart of the process was a…

P vs NP : Large Language Models will contribute to the definition of a new paradigm
Illustration by DALL·E from the text As announced in the previous post where GPT-4 took stock of the discussion I had with Claude 3 about the P vs NP conjecture, GPT-4 turned its attention to another dimension of this debate: the ability or otherwise of Large Language Models to propose paradigm shifts. Here, according to…

“GPT-4, how to rethink the P vs NP conjecture in light of the debate between Paul Jorion and Claude 3 ?”
Illustration by DALL·E from the text Over the past few days, I’ve published a series of four posts devoted to the P vs NP conjecture. I had chosen the formula of proposing my provisional conclusions to AI Claude 3, encouraging it to question them and helping me, if possible, to develop them further. You can…

P vs NP: a new paradigm is needed for problem solving
Illustration by DALL·E from the text This post is the third episode of my collaboration with Claude 3, split into “Claude 1” and “Claude 2”, about the P vs NP conjecture. In P vs NP: I’ve hired two new staff!, we came to the tentative conclusion that the implicit assumption that solving a problem and…
