When Leggett @whenthetimeca.me · 11/05/2026So from this framing, is it just moving the goal posts? Is first person consciousness because of the process or the matter (which is consciousness)? Would it be meaningfully different if the matter was not conscious? 110
When Leggett @whenthetimeca.me · 11/05/2026I guess I mean that there must be something experiencing the process if all matter is conscious. 110
When Leggett @whenthetimeca.me · 11/05/2026So wait - if everything is consciousness, then wouldn’t that imply that all thinking is consciousness as well? How do you square that with your original statement? 100
When Leggett @whenthetimeca.me · 11/05/2026I guess I was reading it as dualism of mechanism vs consciousness which is a pretty Cartesian thing. 010
When Leggett @whenthetimeca.me · 11/05/2026Consciousness is still one of the least understood phenomenon we know about. Most of the evidence we have is that consciousness arises from the process itself. It's distributed and embodied. You seem to be operating from a Cartesian dualism perspective that is much less well supported. 110
When Leggett @whenthetimeca.me · 11/05/2026ie search engines, recommendation algorithms, rule engines, workflows, other deep learning algos?... 000
When Leggett @whenthetimeca.me · 11/05/2026I get the distinction you're making, but I'm not sure it really provides clarity. We don't really have good definitions of either thinking *or* consciousness. How do you qualitatively or quantitatively distinguish LLM "thinking" from other computer processes that make decisions? Where is the line? 210

When Leggett @whenthetimeca.me · 24/04/2026The blanket statement like any nested containers are automatically wrong/dumb seems limiting and overly prescriptive. 000
When Leggett @whenthetimeca.me · 24/04/2026You’re describing a particular hazard which needs to be handled well. You have to take care in the interaction design. Avoid accidental gestures when scrolling vertical (primary) not to slip on horizontal scroll hazards. Primarily in making nested containers a more deliberate gesture. 200
When Leggett @whenthetimeca.me · 23/04/2026I’m just trying to understand the authority you bring to the blanket statement about utilizing horizontal swiping containers in a vertical scrolling interface. Maybe it matters how you do it? 100
When Leggett @whenthetimeca.me · 23/04/2026I’m not saying it was the *reason* for the success, I’m just saying it’s a platform that is dramatically more popular than bsky and has had a lot of success.
