Reinforcement learning is the thing that integrates the network across time though. In one sense, I think it's doing at least part of the job that consciousness does: mediating between memory(past) and the present.

Yes, it's just that because it's an external process, DALL-E can't go meta on it like we can. So you won't ever get "appearance of consciousness" out of a process that depends on RL, imo, because you've located part of its cognition outside its brain and made it intermittent.
