LLMs are prodigies and you are a grown up. Use them as a grown up, not as a child. Together you can do much more than you can do alone. Remember that you rely already on the very limited amount of knowledge you know from other people that is dwarfed by the knowledge of LLMs.
At 85 my time has become precious..
Bayes is universal. It requires logic and an actor so these are universal as well.

Prove you have a soul or shut up.
Good joke but you should hide the punchline better.
It's not a hypothesis, it's an interpretation that only add scientific noise because interpretations are personal and, like the "Self" cannot be experienced by others.

Our body creates a virtual reality for itself. It is realistic in so far it is scientific but otherwise it is our body obeying nature’s laws.
The mere fact that we cannot awaken ourselves puts our "self" on shaky ground.

Latest version, questions please.
The most obvious explanation for consciousness is also the easiest and most solid: after 20k wordless experiences such as "if I do this, that happens," the Bayesian certainty of this assertion is strong enough to believe in it for the rest of your life.
Wasting 20k words is madness.
Apparently, most flat-earth proponents have fallen overboard.
"God does not play dice" is a famous phrase by Albert Einstein expressing his rejection of the probabilistic, random nature of quantum mechanics. Now we know that if God were to gamble, he would cheat like a casino owner: he would always win.
Triadic Realism is a philosophical position that fundamentally differs from conventional philosophy of mind.
It is the sum of 3 realities:
1. Subjective
2. Scientific
3. Creative
* It does not implicitely smuggle in concnsciousness
* It is complete
* It is testable
Ask your favorite LLM.
keithfrankish Physically, there's no problem: consciousness is simply what the brain does. Forget illusions. In fMRI, words map onto qualia as real physical brain states — enabling one-shot multi-sensory generalization (a child knows any cat) by high Bayesian certainty that rejects contradictions.

You better keep a low profile. Don't advertise that you are a philosophical illusionist.
Don't worry about me. I could be your friend here.
@keithfrankish.com
You cannot trust a philosopher who calls himself an illusionist. Such a person contradicts himself.

Ah! An artificial Magritte!
It proves LLMs have humor.
You should acknowledge that in your next prompt to get a realistic image.
Why illusionism pan-psychism and controlled hallucination are misleading.

Your "meta-level belief" is the quale -grounded on the child's non-verbal experience- that is the meaning of the word "Daddy" it will learn, an example of learning meaningful language.
Chomsky was wrong here, children are not guessing the meaning of words because words have no intrinsic meaning.

Bayes literally explained the self-fulfilling prophecy that the theory of evolution had discovered by chance. The rest is history.
