Hi, I’m new here; I don’t even know if I’m in the right place but I’ve read the user’s guide and if I got it right I should present myself and ask for advices here. Honestly I should probably read more extensively the blog before speaking but I fear the task paralysis would block me in the end if I try.
I ask forgiveness for any bizarre or improper wording, grammar and syntax as English is not my native language.
I roughly have a bachelor’s degree in an unrelated field and a crippling imposter syndrome but in the last month I used IAs to “maieutically” talk to myself, reorder my thoughts about what interested me at the time and put them down in what has basically become a theoretical framework. I would like to have genuine feedbacks about it since trying to put it on repositories online without endorsement was already a letdown and had to use Zenodo.
About the framework itself, if I have to summarise part of it I could say i’m arguing that consciousness is not a static state but a temporally extended process — specifically, the thermodynamic work a system performs to maintain its own history against entropy.
Before that I also thought and wrote about a realist approach to AI governance that replaces fragile containment strategies with structural interdependence. It’s probably a bit naive in a couple of points and still exist only in my laptop but I feel there’s something that might be worth of discussion.
I humbly ask for any advice on where and how to post.
Thanks for the heads up, i start to think it’s unlikely I’ll be able to interact a lot here; I get the need to filter junk but the no AI use at all it’s an issue for me. I mean, it’s not like I ask it to write me a reply but because of how I am it’s very difficult for me to reorder my thoughts in order to write an essay.
I was trying to reply to a post the other day as a test and obviously because of the policy about LLMs it got rejected, but again… I used AIs only as an aide to help me write an argumentative reply based on a framework I already produced in the same way I write about complicated subjects lately: putting down my thoughts, stitching them together, testing the logic and rethinking/changing the parts that after a a bit feels wrong.
It’s been months since I started using AIs daily as a past time and because of it i’m very aware about the sometimes invisible traps laid by them: the biases, the hallucinations, the inexplicable rigid tangents they take sometimes, etc. Still, it’s the only way I found at the moment to put down what’s in my mind about complicated subjects or to get a better explanation If I don’t get or I’m not sure I get something. I think you can imagine it’s a bit frustrating to be denied the only tool that kinda works for me even if wonkily.
