Great meeting on AI consciousness research this week at Google NY, what an inspiring crowd!
Really grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the panel on AI consciousness evaluation, alongside Roman Yampolskiy, @birchlse.bsky.social and Rob Long.
And special thanks to Rob for the sticker :)
Thrilled to announce my new book, coming Fall 2026.
Well, hello again!
Glad to see coverage of our work! However, I wish the article (especially the title and the summary) would‘ve presented our approach more carefully / from a different angle - as to avoid the readers interpreting it as if we „confronted LLMs with pain“ or think we made them „experience“ anything.
Excitingly the official audiobook of The Edge of Sentience is out now. Even more excitingly, I have 6 free download codes to give away. DM during the next 24hrs for a chance of getting one!
I've done more public philosophy writing this year than ever before. Here is a roundup🧵. Just remember I don't write the headlines.
