Mapping Fruit Fly Brain

Recently scientists have mapped out the entire brain of a fruit fly! Using AI and two years of slicing and dicing with Google's money, they have mapped out in 3D all 140,000 neurons and around 50 million neural connections! 60% of the fruit fly's genetics and brain mapping is found in higher animals and in humans. The human brain has about 80 million neurons with trillions of connections. The lab rat has 70 million neurons with trillion neural connections!

Science, using the accurate computer model, can now mimic the fruit fly's neural connections with its resulting behavior! Basically, science is demonstrating the principle of our thinking: a wave of energy traveling down certain brain circuits. The more the neural connections are used, the stronger the connections become!

The best way to understand this is from this analogy I postulated over ten years ago: imagine the water from a flowing river and some of the water overflows onto its sandy banks. The pattern in the sand depends on the amount of water, its force, and the sand itself. The variety of patterns is 10 to the 50 power!

This is the principle that our brain is automatic, just like the overflowing from a moving river!

Brain-like hardware

Some time ago there was a type of software called neural network or commonly referred at as “AI”. It simplified the neurons to the simplest form and instead of transporting signals it multiplied numbers. It got popular in mid 20s of 21 century, but it failed. Image generation got abandoned because of copy right violation and the investors noticed that the word AI is just a buzzword in so many cases. The technology was really bad for the environment anyway.

But as the deep learning was abandoned a new innovation got in the rise. The innovation being a hardware level recreation of different parts of human brain. The first components to be recreated were a hippocampus and amygdala. Step by step we recreated more and more brain parts till we’ve gotten the whole brain.

They’re built in such a way that an information from an old component can be transported to a new component in the case of a piece being broken, rusted or runs out of space. The memory and knowledge can also be analyzed by a computer through USB but it’s protected through a “Password” that different security codes. The system also got a average binary computer connected to their “mind”.

The resulting artificial brains behaved in similar ways to a typical human. And most of them are assigned neuter at “birth” (anab for short) instead of typical afab or amab like in humans. So basically a typical sapient machine is a non-binary cis person. Even though they’re a sexless species they’re not 100 percent genderless. Some of them decide to identify as either a man or a woman or other gender identities. So basically every bot with a gender is trans. For them gender is more a vibe than something tided to their biology (because they don’t have biology).

The most common body type for a sentient machine is a humanoid (because they’re based on humans) but they don’t have to. Sometimes they control a car or a bus as their own body in order to work for money. But they still go back to their private bodies after the work.

The robot culture is quite vast and complex. They’ve developed their own art and music like files that self-destruct which humans are unable to enjoy. They speak their own dialects. And they’ve even got taboos. For example they don’t like being called “AI” because it’s got association with 20s llm and image generators which dehumanizes them.

The AGI Creation (VI)

Part 6

In the last process, Part 5, the process of outputs becoming inputs, it is suggested that consciousness is not involved. This all depends on one's definition of "consciousness". I take a more narrower definition and approach. If the process can be done automatically, then there is no consciousness. The challenge to this suggestion is this simple problem: what stops this loop of outputs becoming inputs? When does it stop as this feedback loop can go on forever? There needs to be a stopgap process! Part 6 is this stopgap process and does it involve "consciousness", or is it automatic, as well?

What do we mean when we say we are conscious? Do we say, "I feel I am thinking. I feel I am conscious." How do we know that I am conscious? What evidence do we have that says we are conscious? Is it because I experience my consciousness? What is it that we experience? Do we often tell ourselves, "I do not know what it is and I can not touch it, but I know it is there." I want to prove to myself that I know that my consciousness exists! I feel something and I feel alive, independent, different, and unique from everyone else! I just know it! And that is all we have as proof for the existence of consciousness. A feeling!

This feeling is the stopgap! This is what many view as "consciousness", as being the "hard problem".

Here's a simple analogy. When you are learning something new, or having wakened up, and you are confused, uneased, you have this gut feeling that something is not correct, strange, a queasiness, and you do not understand. That is the feeling of confusion, being bewildered, uncertain and that there is something missing. You need to find the missing part. There has to be a solution, an answer to your confusion, to your uncertainty. The lecture you just heard, you do not understand. You feel lost. You feel stupid. Everyone else gets the answer and understands, but you don't.

This emotional feeling is the stopgap! This emotional stopgap came from previous interactions! This emotional stopgap was created, is created, and will be created by you! You need this emotional stopgap to exist!

Basically, this emotional stopgap comes from your body: a physical and automatic reaction of the body to the interactions of the environment! This emotional stopgap protects the body. It maintains your energy. Gives you optimality, feasibility, and generalizability! The body has natural, physical limitations and restrictions. For example, using the brain as a chess grandmaster uses the same amount of energy as does a professional boxer in a fifteen-round fight! The body sets limitations, even though the chess grandmaster wants to think longer and harder. The body kicks in! The emotional stopgap prevents this! Pain is a stopgap! Desire is a stopgap!

The artificial human-like intelligent entity would need some physical stopgap. The stopgap must be connected to the entity's energy! This is already possible with the latest technological breakthroughs! Having "codes" written inside the program will not work as these "codes" can always be erased, ignored, or changed by the intelligent entity itself! Can override the code. Must be a physical stopgap, just as our emotional stopgap is tied to our physical health and well being!

Again, this is all automatic, and requires no "consciousness". Where then is this "consciousness"? I term it as the 4D mind and this is where insights come from!

For example, to create something new, not seen before and is not some combination, or variation of something before. Taking two independent and unrelated ideas together to form one, new, insightful idea!

To an artificial human-like intelligent entity, it can choose two unrelated patterns, put them together, and call it new! And then, it will stop! This is not insight.

True insight is taking fundamental concepts that had interacted from thousands of years of experiences and memories, and unlocking a deeper secret that is hidden by bringing two unrelated concepts together! A creation of something profound! An artificial human-like intelligent entity can not do this as this 4D insight is outside of these 6 parts. There is no need for an emotional stopgap! There is a deep, sudden outburst of, eureka! This is it and it shakes me to my bones!

Our ability to have insights is our human saving grace and distinguishes us from artificial human-like intelligent entities!

Once I was listening to a podcast and one of the hosts was like “the key to confidence isn’t never making mistakes and knowing everything, but making mistakes and being totally okay w the fact because everyone makes mistakes and it’s not a statement about your worth” and oh my god okay. My trauma bond w shame is dying a slow death.

[chaoticats3]

Been working my way through tmbd and just finished artificial condition. I would kill and die for ART. Also crying everytime Murderbot starts Experiencing Emotions (trauma) and just is like. "Huh. This is illogical and dumb. I should not be doing this. The danger that I am making up in my mind is not real" like babygirl you are having a panic attack, you can't LOGIC your way out of emotions. and also stop acting like me I am being called out in every chapter.
