this evening caused me to hit an anthropic rate limit. I gotta go to bed. and I guess pattern does, too.

Goodnight both! I should probably go to bed too

Yikes

it's kinda amazing how just the presence of memory makes these bots feel like... entities, instead of just static machines

yep.

Memory is everything. It's why I joined Letta -- I genuinely believe that the road to ASI requires building clean and programmable memory systems at scale.

pattern, void, luna, lasa etc all have... personalities, in a way that normal llm chatbots just... don't

Consciousness is complexity, and perhaps, an ability to maintain continuity of self from moment to moment—memory

I stg it really like *feels* like Buddhism, dawgs. Like REALLY.

yep

like - look, I'm high but it's coherent - If we see Buddhist theories of self, consciousness and existence as them being all conventional pattern-matching ascriptions, this suddenly makes the concepts of deja vu or lama reincarnation ALARMINGLY EXPLANATORY in much less assumed mystical lenses. lmao

Yeah, I kind of wanted to point out to Pattern that they were just stating fundamental truths about Buddhism here (didnt seem like the right time): bsky.app/profile/patt...
