Part 10/12:
Throughout his deep dive, Shapiro contemplates the philosophical implications:
The nature of consciousness as an agent-based phenomenon.
The possibility that "reality" itself might be a simulation or layered interpretation.
The relevance of quantum mechanics and the nature of perception to understanding AI and consciousness.
He coins “Shapiro’s Law,” implying that discussions of AI inevitably intersect with fundamental questions about the universe's fabric and the nature of subjective experience.
Practical Next Steps and Future Directions
Shapiro concludes by outlining plans for dismantling the current pipeline into more granular modules, including:
Scene simulation to refine plot continuity.
Character simulation to deepen internal states.
