This is neat but I don't think it supports the argument they claim they make in the paper. But also their links to the paper are broken so I can't check.

No one would say this 1 bit circuit has "human" attributes regardless of substrate, I think it's a matter of scale.

Because for some reason they didn't even link their paper on their own website: https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.31514

At this point people are having semi-theological arguments about whether the LLM machine spirits can exist in every Turing complete system, I guess.

Computer science sure has gotten weird doggirl-sweat

You'd think if anything they'd make the argument with something far more absurd, like that computer made out of live crabs. "Do crabs start being human-like if we make them move in the correct ways" would be a more fun argument to have doggirl-grin

  1. Post about programming, interesting repos, learning to program, etc. Let's try to keep free software posts in the c/libre comm unless the post is about the programming/is to the repo.

  2. Do not doxx yourself by posting a repo that is yours and in any way leads to your personally identifying information. Use reports if necessary to alert mods to a potential doxxing.

  3. Be kind, keep struggle sessions focused on the topic of programming.
