The Components of Agent Memory

Concepts made for humans should not be used fit machines unless it’s really the same process. Clearly Claud doesn’t rest and doesn’t balance hormones and other chemicals when it’s not thinking. Just because one element of dreaming relates to information organization, just organizing information isn’t dreaming.

That’s like saying walking is space flight because both happen to change the location of an individual.

Yes, I agree, and it's so exhausting to read articles like this over and over. It's clear that either they're not actually learning any lessons over at Anthropic or they're just so deluded that they'll never get this.

I find the term "dreaming" works here for the particular logic they used.

Remember, any analogies fail at some point.

Say, given your space flight example, astronauts do "space walk" spacecraft to perate. They are not "walking" but still makes sense.

Counterpoint: Turing's seminal 1950 paper Computing Machinery and Intelligence, which refutes your logic here in detail. https://www.hec.edu/sites/default/files/documents/Computing%...
