Likely a prefrontal cortex, the administrative center of the brain and generally host to human consciousness. As well as a dedicated memory system with learning plasticity.

Humans have systems that mirror llms but llms are missing a few key components to be precise replicas of human brains, mostly because it's computationally expensive to consider and the goal is different.

Some specific things the brain has that llms don't directly account for are different neurochemicals (favoring a single floating value per neuron), synaptogenesis, neurogenesis, synapse fire travel duration and myelin, neural pruning, potassium and sodium channels, downstream effects, etc. We use math and gradient descent to somewhat mirror the brain's hebbian learning but do not perform precisely the same operations using the same systems.

In my opinion having a dedicated module for consciousness would bridge the gap, possibly while accounting for some of the missing characteristics. Consciousness is not an indescribable mystery, we have performed tons of experiments and received a whole lot of information on the topic.

As it stands llms are largely reasonable approximations of the language center of the brain but little more. It may honestly not take much to get what we consider consciousness humming in a system that includes an llm as a component.

How do you think god comes into the equation? What do you think about split brain syndrome in which people demonstrate having multiple consciousnesses? If consciousness is based on a metaphysical property why can it be altered with chemicals and drugs? What do you think happens during a lobotomy?

I get that evidence based thinking is generally not compatible with religious postulates, but just throwing up your hands and saying consciousness comes from the gods is an incredibly weak position to hold.

Consciousness is an emergent property, generally self awareness and singularity are key defining features.

There is no secret sauce to llms that would make them any more conscious than Wikipedia.

How dare you think Google would listen to its users and not the advertisers. Fr though I'm not sure, manifest v3 does use a sandboxing feature but it's unclear at first glance if they are directly related

For large groups I suppose airbnbs are more reasonable, though it's honestly not that big of a difference in pricing for vacation rentals.

Housekeeping is easy, just put the little do not disturb sign up, they won't bug you.

I don't have an opinion on the other stuff though.

5 years too late, hotels have been cheaper and better for a while now. All of these companies that touted revolutionizing industries have just become worse versions.

Netflix, airbnb, uber, etc all of them are worse for people than the things they replaced

This is honestly the only way to predict what the man will do. Identify even the slightest personal advantage to his move.

Why run for president in 2024? To avoid jail. Why put tariffs on and off? To buy and sell stocks as the market bends to your tweets. Why act like a religious right wing weirdo? To have no personal accountability. Why pull out of nato? Because someone personally offended you. Why host political events at maralago? To make a quick buck renting out rooms. He's so transparent it's pitiful.

Looks like a contributor was in a sanctioned region?

Unit tests and good architecture are still foundational requirements, so far no bug reports with any of these updates. In fact a huge chunk of these ai updates were addressing bugs. Not sure why you're so mad at what you imagine is happening and making so many broad assumptions!
