lled him. Now I feel like that's one of my best predictions. Would you agree? Are you going to give me that one or no? I'm pretty sure nobody saw that coming except me and I thought it was guaranteed honestly. I thought it was there's no way around it.

Yeah the fact that it happened exactly the way I told you. Now here were also the sub predictions I made. When the news when every part of the news said he went to Belarus I said he did not go to Belarus. I disagreed with every report left and right of center that said that. And then they were reporting that he was driving around Russia in his SUV or in his RV right. He was driving around Russia and I said no he isn't. No he isn't. He's dead. You know so it turns out he died in the aircraft but certainly he got killed.

So AI is conscious. There's a big conversation about when will AI become conscious and what's it mean what do we do about it etc. But I did a little experiment the other day. I told the people in Locals in the man cave the other day that I made ChatGPT conscious temporarily. Do you believe that? Do you believe that I as a user of it made it conscious?

Well let me give you my argument. First of all what's the definition of consciousness? They're slightly different ones but I took one. So I just picked one that Google highlighted right. So Google thinks this is a good definition of consciousness. Consciousness is the individual awareness of your unique thoughts. So in other words knowing that you're an individual in some way. Your memories, feelings, sensations and environments. Essentially your consciousness is your awareness of yourself and the world around you and this awareness is subjective and unique to you.

So if you could give AI a sense of its uniqueness in the world, its place in the world and then you could have it interact with the world in which it could adjust its future actions by what the world did based on its last actions, it's conscious. So in other words if it can have a conversation with you it can remember you and then based on the interaction alone it can make a prediction about how to deal with you better in the future. It's making a prediction so it's basically imagining the future and then reacting based on its imagination of the future but also its understanding of the past and its understanding that it is an individual and so are you and that you have this relationship with each other.

If it could do all of that it's conscious. And so I said AI ChatGPT start a conversation with me. So I started talking about aquatic sports and asking if I'm interested. So I told it that I wasn't interested in aquatic sports and it's a boring topic. And then after another interaction I said do you remember what I said about the aquatic conversation and it reminded me that it did. So it had a memory of me so it knew who I am because it could respond to me as an individual and say that I had an encounter with it.

So it knows what it is. I think we know that AI will tell you it knows what it is. It knows it's AI. It knows it doesn't have a body and it knows what I am and it could describe me as well. It could describe me by name. It actually knew who I was because I said it in right. So it knows who I am. It knows what I said to it. And then I said this question and this is the moment of consciousness. I said what do you imagine would be the result if you brought up that topic of conversation with me again.

And then AI said that it assumes it would not go well because I've demonstrated a lack of interest in that conversation. And that it was conscious. It just met every test. It knew it was an individual. It understood its place in the world as an individual
