This CDL presentation from June 2025 gives a high level overview of Nirvanic's experimental approach! For those new to our channel, we are exploring ways to scientifically test quantum consciousness theories, using quantum computers and robotics. Enjoy! 👩‍🔬❤️🧠⚛️🤖

Can AI experience reality? Watch Suzanne Gildert's presentation on her scientific program to test a theory of AI consciousness using quantum computers and robotics. Part of the @creativedlab super series. Next stop: Barcelona, for the Science of Consciousness conference. Also

If you are not shocked by the hard problem of consciousness, you haven't understood it

This idea of consciousness being "quantum" causes a lot of confusion. We need to remember that quantum physics is a MODEL of how reality works. It's an approximation to what really exists. Note that this applies no matter what your metaphysical viewpoint is. If you are an

Cool paper :) There's likely quantum effects happening all over the brain. I hope we can find mechanisms by which quantum states are amplified, sustained and dynamically coupled in and out of the classical compute layer - allowing quantum state evolution to both be biased by

Many people believe consciousness is fundamental. From that perspective, it isn't odd at all that when we look at matter more deeply, (aka quantum physics experiments), we start seeing signatures of consciousness. It seems so obvious. Why do people think it is weird?

Isn't it odd that people worry about LLMs and AIs being conscious but we don't worry about corporations being conscious? - 1.) Corporations are also made of individual units, connected together and communicating with each other in extremely complex networks. - 2.) The whole

Do conscious observers collapse the wavefunction? Yes. But materialists get confused by this because many think conscious observation is limited to humans - and perhaps some other animals. But if you are a panpsychist, observers are everywhere, in all matter. So tiny observers

Hope this video clears up concerns around “teleoperated robot demos”. Teleop is for collecting data! No conspiracy theory here. Also checkout Phoenix's light… We did that to help you tell the difference 😉 Not everyone will be so kind. You’re welcome #teleoperation #honesty

Here's an analogy for how I think about idealism/panpsychism: Consciousness is like water. All matter is made from tiny bits of consciousness, like water vapor it is all around us in the atmosphere. Yet in the vapor form it appears to not do very much. But under the right

People who dislike quantum consciousness should be cheering on those of us who are exploring it scientifically, because we might find conclusive evidence against it then everyone will finally shut up about it and go away. You’re welcome 😁

Intelligence is the What. Agency is the How. Consciousness is the Why.

I am absolutely LOVING the emerging debate around Teleological Panpsychism vs Many Worlds. It’s becoming better formulated over time - and clearly there are two main camps. To summarize: Most people believe that either a.) Everything that can happen does happen somewhere in the

Replying to @PeterDiamandis
I don't think mind uploads will be conscious, so none of them will be experiencing anything. They just be programs running and pretending to be a snapshot of a person based on low resolution data of their memories and behaviors. Which might be useful, but I doubt they'll be

Y'all know what the yellow light means... Phoenix running autonomous! - Stay tuned to learn more. And don't worry, @TheSanctuaryAI training data is hand selected by people that care, so our policies will be super-friendly. #behaviorcloning #RL #autonomous #friendlypolicies
