I think of "The Unbearable Slowness of Being" paper.

Do our latent thoughts really flow at a bitrate>>10bps? And maybe it is through the process of instantiating our latent thoughts->words that help us understand things deeply.

Will latent thought->LLM really be a big unlock?

The human brain is approaching its ChatGPT moment.

I spent 6 months writing Phase Lock: a manifesto on how brain computer interfaces can help align AI and preserve human agency.

If you only ever read one thing from me, read this.

Or consciousness is an emergent property of the 86 billion neurons-the question is how? Study that with BCIs!

the "Hard Problem" in a nutshell:

1. atoms aren't conscious
2. humans are made of atoms
3. humans are conscious
4. so at least one of 1-3 must be false

Panpsychists say #1 is false
Dualists say #2 is false
Illusionists say #3 is false
Materialists say #4 is false
