This. I love everything about this. Everything. Thank you. This is the kind of sh!t that made me get into programming in the first place.

Regarding specific reading, three books I think you would love are [1] the self assembling brain, [2] the archaelogy of the mind, and [3] evolutionary optimization algorithms.

People can talk whatever sh!t they want but this pushed us closer to actual AGI than anything this (useful but) deadend LLM craze is pushing us towards, and towards which you thoughtfully made an effort.

The most basic function of learning and intelligence is habituation to stimuli, which even an ameoba can handle but not a single LLM does.

Thanks again for this.

Thanks for the kind words and the recommendations. Ordered!

Archaelogy of the mind is an enjoyable marathon but a marathon nonetheless. Audiobook therefore highly recommended, as well. If you get past the "seeking" system section it will probably reframe your entire view of consciousness, intelligence, and what it means to be human. You will cringe significantly harder at the concept of LLMs becoming AGI once you get past the part on "primary affective processes". Self-assembling brain will help reconcile those conversations. And then evolutionary algos will help you build that brain out! Keep posting!!
