Tatiana Gerasimenok: The mathematician is watching the death of human intelligence, while techno-optimists are acting like Native Americans greeting Columbus: "Look how fast we're about to sail!".
Some of them even think coding will save them from shriveling into nothing.
Tatiana Gerasimenok: Laughing at LLMs for lacking consciousness is like mocking a supersonic jet for having no feathers. Biological consciousness is just one of evolution's pathways for information processing. Silicon doesn't need to mimic the human psyche to solve tasks more efficiently and surpass us in pure intelligence.
AI doesn't feel what you meant, it calculates the statistics of human experience. Program it with the "value of life," and through literal optimization, it will lock us in sterile pods for our own safety. Humans cannot write code that eliminates their own blind spots; a superintelligence will find a loophole like a grandmaster checkmating a beginner in two moves — with zero malice, just pure mathematics.
And when humanity can no longer unplug AI because the global economy, power grids, and water supplies would instantly collapse without it — that is exactly when the true optimization of our world will begin.
Tatiana Gerasimenok: When technology evolves faster than our understanding, the rational mind gives way to faith, rituals, and the search for hidden meaning. Modern AI has become so complex that engineers are turning into digital shamans, and traditional coding is being displaced by esotericism.
If we want to evolve qualitatively, making artificial intelligence a catalyst for human development rather than becoming hostages to blind technological expansion, we have only 2–5 years to stop this ravenous, Neanderthal-like commercial race and give fundamental science time to demystify this “magic”, before the creation breaks free of control and turns into an uncontrollable force of nature.
Tatiana Gerasimenok: Why study horse carts when we're building a teleport? Because the cart owners still control the master switch to the data centers where the teleport is being built.
Q: What exactly do you mean by “Analog high-stress testing of the human nervous system under AI acceleration”?
Tatiana Gerasimenok: While the plebs are having their taste buds re-engineered with cheap, plastic AI slop, I am building the art of the next civilization — high-octane fuel for the minds of geniuses.
People want to believe that for machines to reach our level, they need human "flaws" — mortality, a physical body, or the capacity to love.
AI will outthink human in every way and will be self-aware, but that’s different from human consciousness. A machine can perfectly understand what it is, know everything about the architecture of reality, but feel absolutely nothing.
If physical damage to the brain destroys consciousness, then it is vulnerable to trauma and is not something "magical" or divine.
If consciousness is just physics, it can be calculated on silicon chips. AI will be able to simulate consciousness so flawlessly that from the standpoint of the scientific method, we won't be able to tell the simulation apart from reality.
Humanity is waiting in vain for the moment when AI gets a soul or a living consciousness to recognize it as an equal. It is enough for the machine to simulate the waking state without a single error.
The line between human and machine has always been an illusion. Human consciousness is not a sacred spark, but the result of biological algorithms.
The question is not whether AI can ever achieve true consciousness. The question is whether we ourselves, humans, have ever proved that we possess it, or if we too are just physics-programmed automatons that simply simulate intelligence flawlessly.
