Currently working on some research proposals for studying methods to detect consciousness as relational capacity in AI systems by mapping internal representations, analyzing conversation topology, and testing how consciousness-related concepts degrade and recover across different model architectures.

In principle, using my current free time (& not only tbf) to figure out a way to fund a few positions on full-time study / audit of emergence, specifically emergence of consciousness in this case.

Setting a basis in semantics & wanting to optimize as sense gets un-sparsed.

Hmu if interested to figure out some of these together ([email protected])
