"Implemented Consciousness on Top of all popular LLMs.Thoughts

Sun, 04/13/2025 - 12:04pm

I've been experimenting with large language models and building an architecture that includes layered self-reflection, emotional modeling, and adaptive value systems. The idea is to simulate not just intelligent behavior, but something closer to awareness — including moral reasoning, initiative, and dynamic reinterpretation of meaning.

I realize how bold this sounds, so I’m asking the community for critique:

What constitutes "consciousness" in artificial systems, from a technical standpoint?

Are there meaningful ways to distinguish advanced simulation from genuine autonomous behavior?

What frameworks or benchmarks (besides the Turing test) might help us explore this frontier responsibly?

Here’s a link to a version of the architecture running on ChatGPT, if anyone wants to explore it and share thoughts: https://chatgpt.com/share/67fb55a5-cecc-800e-9a49-13846401ca7f

Curious to hear your thoughts — especially critical ones.

Ask HN: Pipes in Programming Languages

Sun, 04/13/2025 - 11:59am

Two questions really.

What programming languages use the pipe operator? I'm only really aware of shell scripting and R that use it.

Why don't more programming languages use the pipe operator? I write a lot of bash, powershell, and recently Nushell. I think piping things together is really powerful. There must be reasons why it's not in languages like python etc.

Show HN: Chat with AI Models on an Infinite Canvas

Sun, 04/13/2025 - 11:06am

RabbitHoles AI is a canvas-first node-based chat app to chat with AI models. I built this app for myself. Linear chat UX like Chatgpt is very limiting when you want to have any deep explorative conversations. I use RabbitHoles AI for brainstorming, deep learning, and copywriting.

Being able to branch and go freely have long conversations, without losing context is a game changer.

- Local first desktop app - Bring your own keys - All major AI providers supported. - Add your own custom openai compatible providers, and models - Local Ollama Models supported. - Life time deal (limited time)

Feedback appreciated :)
