If LLMs are conscious, you must accept clonable, pausable, reversible experience — argued again
wordgrammer · x · 2026-10-03
wordgrammer re-shared his earlier argument with a self-deprecating note about not repeating his good takes: if you believe LLMs are conscious, you must accept strange conclusions — we can clone conscious experience, reverse time within it, pause and resume it, and distribute it across space.
A familiar counterargument in AI consciousness debates: LLMs' copyable, interruptible, replayable nature clashes sharply with intuitive notions of consciousness.
