There is no "you" nor "self". Western indoctrination made us believe free will exists.
When seeing the world with the ego dissolved it is very hard to grasp what sentient really means.
- bambataa 4y agoIf there is awareness that perceives the ego, are any of these models meaningfully aware? Do they have an awareness of self? I don’t know anything about AI but I understood that some symbolic AI systems had a symbol referring to themselves (correct me if wrong).
- arpa 4y agoEgo is not "you". Ego is just a group of distinct cognitive mechanisms working in unison which is perceived as a whole. It is absolutely unrelated to free will and sentience.
