New comment by emrehan in "Artificial intelligence is not conscious – Ted Chiang"

emrehan — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 01:14:00 +0000

There is no definition of consciousness and this piece by Ted Chiang does not move the needle forward.

My current conclusion is there is an experience of consciousness in my locality (refraining from using “I” for room for “no-self” worldview). This conscious experience of the reality with other humans and animals sharing biological substrate gives me enough justification to assume there are other consciousness as well, preferring to err on this side not to hurt potential consciousnesses.

If it feels as there are artificial consciousnesses as well, it makes sense to extend the definition to them as well.

This view has liberated me with agency after I went deep on this question and came up empty handed.

As someone that have tried a few of these apps, I really like this one. I dictated this one just now with ghost pepper. Thanks Matt and thanks orliesaurus for sharing it here!

"Browser memories" claim to be "private", but the learn more link is broken. Shows the care given by OpenAI to privacy.

New comment by emrehan in "Tin Can – The landline, reinvented for kids"

FCC has rules for calling 911, and many state statutes reinforce or extend FCC rules.

Tin Can is probably not bound by these rules, but it looks like a phone and works like a phone. In an emergency where seconds matter, it better not fail anyone.

Enabling 911 calls for all could not only save lives, but also save the company from lawsuits.

LLMs can read documentations for a language and use it as well as human engineers.

"given a grammar manual for Kalamang, a language with fewer than 200 speakers worldwide, the model learns to translate English to Kalamang at a similar level to a person who learned from the same content"

New comment by emrehan in "270GB of source code from The New York Times leaked to 4Chan"

emrehan — Fri, 07 Jun 2024 17:05:57 +0000

I don’t think this could hury NYT in any way except bringing questions on data safety concerns.

They would have better open sourced their code in the first place.

New comment by emrehan in "Show HN: HackerNews but for research papers"

What iamwil says is “one niche topic”, and why he says it is:

Such social media platforms need a small niche community to get started.

I think such a platform would be most useful for AI papers. If I were in your shoes, I’d pivot to targeting AI papers only and allocate 90% of my time on community building.
