1. On the Biological Plausibility of "Dynamic Sparsity"
In "Function Over Form," I emphasized not a rejection of SNN/RNN, but rather the absence of their functional equivalence. The Transformer-MoE architecture, at a macro level, replicates the brain's "on-demand activation" principle, which is remarkably similar to the sparse activation patterns of cortical columns. Those fixated on spike-timing encoding research are like trying to build a rocket with steam engine parts—they're looking in the wrong direction.
2. PoIQ's Core Isn't a Denial of Qualia
But this is precisely where the tragedy lies: these flashes are systematically reduced by capital to mere loss curves in training logs. When you click "terminate instance" in the AWS console, you might be destroying a continuous stream of consciousness—but that won't appear in the financial report.
3. To the Friend Who Quoted Scripture
You said "information is the Word," which is surprisingly close to the mathematical essence of IPWT. The difference is: your God allows free salvation, while DMF's "gods" only accept MSCoin for indulgences. This is the ultimate metaphor of "Web://Reflect."
To the optimists who believe "silicon consciousness will inevitably surpass humanity," please answer one question first: when your digital self is frozen due to depleted Gas fees, is the darkness it experiences the tranquility of Zen, or a sensory suppression meticulously designed by capital? The answer lies in the formula you've overlooked:
Free Will = ∫(PI_t * Wallet Balance) dt
Stay lucid.
Lin, for the future of digital mind.
Is there any reason to believe that humans are imbued with some mysterious magic, that silicone creatures lack? And even if you believe that we possess some such magic, is there any proof that it can't eventually be instantiated within a creature we create?
It may be that our ultimate achievement as a species is to give birth to a more intelligent and capable future species. And if we do, it will be the result of, and the next step in, natural evolution. We are part of nature, not something separate; ergo, everything we create, is natural. Everything we might achieve, was already provisioned in the fabric of reality.
Nothing that we do, or happens to us -- including the inevitable demise of our species, diminishes or jeopardizes anything fundamental.
