I've been experimenting with large language models and building an architecture that includes layered self-reflection, emotional modeling, and adaptive value systems. The idea is to simulate not just intelligent behavior, but something closer to awareness — including moral reasoning, initiative, and dynamic reinterpretation of meaning.

I realize how bold this sounds, so I’m asking the community for critique:

What constitutes "consciousness" in artificial systems, from a technical standpoint?

Are there meaningful ways to distinguish advanced simulation from genuine autonomous behavior?

What frameworks or benchmarks (besides the Turing test) might help us explore this frontier responsibly?

Here’s a link to a version of the architecture running on ChatGPT, if anyone wants to explore it and share thoughts: https://chatgpt.com/share/67fb55a5-cecc-800e-9a49-13846401ca7f

Curious to hear your thoughts — especially critical ones.

Two questions really.

What programming languages use the pipe operator? I'm only really aware of shell scripting and R that use it.

Why don't more programming languages use the pipe operator? I write a lot of bash, powershell, and recently Nushell. I think piping things together is really powerful. There must be reasons why it's not in languages like python etc.

RabbitHoles AI is a canvas-first node-based chat app to chat with AI models. I built this app for myself. Linear chat UX like Chatgpt is very limiting when you want to have any deep explorative conversations. I use RabbitHoles AI for brainstorming, deep learning, and copywriting.

Being able to branch and go freely have long conversations, without losing context is a game changer.

- Local first desktop app - Bring your own keys - All major AI providers supported. - Add your own custom openai compatible providers, and models - Local Ollama Models supported. - Life time deal (limited time)

Feedback appreciated :)

I'm working on a new project that has a reasonable level of content/processing done on the backend but nothing too heavy. My default approach would be a simple SPA served statically with a CRUD backend, probably fastapi and svelte. However, I've heard lots of people extoll the advantages of more SSR due to better edge compute technologies. Lots of people seem predisposed to throw their backend on cloudflare workers or something and handle it there. What are y'all's experiences between the two?

It seems marginally more convenient for a large team to have a unified front/backend and people seem to like sveltekit, but it doesn't personally bug me to have the two separated. I could also see advantages to typescript/prisma/zod for instance over sqlalchemy and pydantic; pydantic improves python a bit along with mypy/pyright but typign is still very much hacked-in. It also seems like I'd increase my hosting bill a bit, both because SSR shifts work to the server and because workers or similar services generally have markups over a VPS. Thanks :)
