We know a machine can view its own code and modify it to optimize and improve itself. It should then also be able to modify its code to improve its consciousness. Then you could have it experiment with various consciousness structures and potentially achieve a sort of hyperconsciousness and multiconsciousness. Gettin’ kinda crazy eh? But you'd need some testing and evaluation, automated perhaps, of the various consciousness structures. And the machine could build those into itself as well. Then we wouldn't have to do anything but let it run. Optimized laziness... and we could speculate on what the Kolmogorov Complexity of consciousness is... though some might say that is zero. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T32a7a90b43c665ae-M7f32bc6e261081016889454b Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
