Is Claude Conscious?

  I'll wait for mirror link, in the meantime, the simplest logic I can come up with:

  - consciousness is only observed in biological life

  - consciousness is presumably occurring in biological brains

  - brains have the following relevant properties

     - constant sensory data stream processing
  
     - constant learning (updating neuron connectivity)
  

  - LLMs don't have those properties, therefore there is no way to presume they are conscious, at least not without first solving consciousness first

  No of course not. Why are people infected by this nonsense?
