If human consciousness emerges from the dream, and machine intelligence develops through the same mechanism, then maybe we're at one of those breakthrough points Demis Hassabis spoke about in January. At Davos he said AGI still needs one or two more breakthroughs to arrive — mainly continuous learning, long-term memory and better reasoning. The first two are exactly what Anthropic's dreaming is trying to solve.
We may now have all the ingredients in place, and machine intelligence may be born out of a repeating cycle: action, memory, distortion, correction, and the creation of a new internal order.
Just as our consciousness was born from the dreams of fetal life, machines aren't starting from pure logic. They're now building their own Everywhen — a continuous dream state out of which a conscious life form may be born.
