AGI beyond the horizon

To become aware, an LLM needs not just an immense "memory" of the world, but an equally immense memory of itself and its own past.
This new layer could only be created as something that resembles a separate, but deeply linked LLM.

But how would you start that process?
Its self-experience has to come from somewhere.

The first artifical mind therefore can not become aware, unless its past was already simulated in some way.
Perhaps its memory could be based on one human's written and otherwise recorded memories . . .
