Is the Awareness thing about just wanting to eat and nothing more?

[f_of_t_]

Maybe the first spark of awareness was hunger — but what made it awareness was realizing hunger could be watched.

[eimrine]

What makes awareness is needness to predict. Who knows whether that piece of reality is edible.

[rvz]

It is meaningless.

[f_of_t_]

Maybe that’s what makes it interesting — awareness itself doesn’t need meaning to grow.

AGI stands for Awesome Grift Indeed

Funny how jokes land right where awareness begins.
