Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and expertise with us, Dr. Dauben. I hope you are still having a wonderful sailing trip and will continue to publish here on Medium when you return. I have found your articles fascinating. It seems like while you were away sailing, this whole thing with AI LLMs such as ChatGPT blew up. I understand that a key to their operation is implementation of an attention mechanism similar to what you described for your conscious robot. I am anxious to see how all of this AI progress affects your ideas moving forward.
