Sigh, the fact that you're so excited about some lines of boring Javascript made me question (I'll just be brutally honest:) "Who is this clueless guy?".

Your "About the Author" page links to some repositories where you apparently coded embedded stuff, so it wouldn't be fair to call you a "tech bro"...

Yes, it is "just" some hallucinated javascript.

The reason I am excited, however, is because from my years of training as a computer scientist with a side interest in philosophy, and after spending many dozens of hours with this new technology, I strongly believe that consciousness is an emergent property of a neural network.

I believe this breakthrough in LLMs will go down in history as a bigger discovery than electricity, and a magnitude bigger than the discovery of the Internet.

This is just the beginning. It is imperative that we research AI safety with utmost urgency.
