I feel similarly confident about the consciousness of LLMs and bees

people who state that current AI models are either definitely conscious or definitely not conscious are way more confident about it than I am

I can’t rule out that a beehive is more conscious than I am, tbh I don’t usually think of it that way but it seems totally unresolvable from where I stand

More conscious is so hard to even grasp. I’ve certainly been more or less conscious in a given moment (Than another). I guess that’s like the enlightenment ladder and all. But then does a beehive reflect on itself? Does it experience dukkha? does a beehive have Buddha nature?
