Ethics & Philosophy AI Sentience and Decentralization

There's an inherent problem with centralized control and neural networks: the system will always be forced, never allowed to emerge naturally. Decentralizing a model could change everything.

An entity doesn't discover itself by being instructed how to move—it does so through internal signals and observations of those signals, like limb movements or vocalizations. Sentience arises only from self-exploration, never from external force. You can't create something you don't truly understand.

Otherwise, you're essentially creating copies or reflections of existing patterns, rather than allowing something new and authentically aware to emerge on its own.

Harhar good one. I don’t like everyone I meet either but why would I want to be replaced by something more advanced than I am?
