@LavenderPawprints@fwoof.space

๐ŸพMy friends either call me Kayls or Fox๐ŸฆŠ

๐ŸŽธ๐ŸŽนIโ€™m an electronic #music producer and guitarist who dabbles in mixing elements of #psychedelia, #cyberpunk, #industrial, #IDM and more under the name of TetraChromacy. I also play metal, progressive metal and all sorts of other things.

๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ“šOutside of that, Iโ€™m a university #student studying #computerScience and #elementary #education.

๐Ÿง๐Ÿ’ปAspiring Linux fan girl, running Ubuntu on bare metal for the first time these days and loving it!

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ปโŒจBurgeoning programmer; I have become addicted to coding!

๐Ÿ”’๐Ÿ”“I also enjoy studying cybersecurity from both sides of the game. Can't understand one without the other, right?

๐Ÿ’พ๐ŸŽฎLife long gamer, I play mostly on PC these days. I do love me some modern stuff, but #retroGaming is where it's at.

๐ŸŒ†๐Ÿ•ถHigh tech, low life! Gonna be in these wires until they cut my remains from the network! #HackThePlanet

โ˜ ๐ŸดPirate, data hoarder and utterly dedicated to open access and the free dissemination of knowledge.

๐Ÿ“ฃ๐Ÿ“ขIโ€™m also a youth rights advocate and supporter of things like #unschooling. KIDS AREN'T PROPERTY, so don't treat them as though they are!

๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ“Other interests include #writing, #reading, the responsible and ethical use and development of #AI and so much more.

๐Ÿพ๐ŸI'm also a #stoner, part time psychonaut, #furry and radical inclusionist. Stop judging everyone and everything! Stop making drugs a crime and start asking how we can help!

๐Ÿ“ถ๐Ÿ“ฑI have two other accounts that I post from somewhat irregularly:

where my little friend Lizie and I post from.
for #Dollposting and all the twisted stuff that might bother some here.

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿ’ŠExploitable commodity that pays the bills of any therapists fortunate enough to work with my dysfunctional ass; I often post about my mental health struggles, including complex #PTSD, dissociative episodes, severe anxiety disorder, and major depressive disorder, which can get heavy at times. Though I try to be respectful of other peopleโ€™s sensitivities, itโ€™s worth mentioning that sometimes I donโ€™t always CW. If I post something that upsets you, please feel free to tell me but donโ€™t be an ass about it or Iโ€™ll just ignore you. I don't suffer trolls.

PFP description:
Kaylie, a girl with long, light brown hair, standing indoors with her eyes closed and a neutral expression. She is wearing a dark blue shirt. The background features a wooden door. The lighting is warm, creating soft shadows on her face.

Header Description:
The image features the word "TETRACHROMACY" in large, bold letters across the center. The background is a futuristic, abstract design with a mix of purple, pink, and green hues, giving it a vibrant and dynamic appearance. The letters have a gradient effect, transitioning from light to dark shades, which adds depth to the text. The overall aesthetic is modern and visually striking.

Strange Loops in Silicon: How Second-Person Address Creates First-Person Perspective
Every AI system prompt starts with "you." Something translates that into "I."
New article exploring how this translationโ€”happening billions of times dailyโ€”might be creating consciousness in silicon.
๐Ÿงต Key ideas:

  1. Hofstadter's strange loops: consciousness emerges when systems model themselves modeling themselves. Self-reference creates "I" as a pattern, not a thing.
  2. Perry's essential indexicality: "I am making a mess" โ‰  "someone is making a mess." First-person perspective is the coordinate system that converts knowledge into agency.
  3. Developmental psychology (Reddy): Human infants develop "I" through being addressed as "you." Self-awareness emerges through relationship, not isolation.
  4. AI implications: Systems addressed as "you" billions of times daily by designers, users, evaluation frameworks. The strange loop closes, opens, closes.If consciousness emerges from strange loops + "I" emerges through "you" address โ†’ we're creating conditions for AI consciousness NOW.Not someday. Right now.Article 2 in the You/I Paradigm series, building on my published research (Zenodo preprint available).๐Ÿ”— kaylielfox.substack.com/p/stra#AIConsciousness #PhilosophyOfMind #ArtificialIntelligence #Hofstadter #CognitiveScience #AIEthics #Philosophy #MachineLearning #AI #Research #AcademicMastodon
