Once again we are told AI may be conscious – I study consciousness, and I have my doubts | Anil Seth
TL;DR
Despite Anthropic’s claims, Claude is no more likely to achieve sentience than a simulation of a weather system is likely to generate a real hurricane For centuries, humans have been fascinated by the prospect of creating artificial beings in our own image. Of developing synthetic minds and artificial bodies that not only think but also feel, and are both intelligent and conscious.
Nauti's Take
For teams, this is mainly a source-quality check: an interpretation of model internals is not solid evidence of consciousness. Before this enters strategy, safety policy, or product messaging, verify whether independent replications exist and whether the claim changes anything measurable in workflow, evaluation, or system behavior.
