A Conceivable Origin of Machine Consciousness in the IDLE process
Norbert B\'atfai
TL;DR
This paper proposes a speculative idea about the origin of machine consciousness related to the IDLE process, challenging energy efficiency trends and sparking discussion among programmers.
Contribution
It introduces a novel, provocative hypothesis linking machine consciousness to the IDLE process, which is a departure from conventional views.
Findings
The idea is highly speculative and unproven.
It raises questions about consciousness in computing systems.
It conflicts with energy-saving trends in hardware design.
Abstract
In this short paper, we would like to call professional community's attention to a daring idea that is surely unhelpful, but is exciting for programmers and anyway conflicts with the trend of energy consumption in computer systems.
