Half way through 'The Nerd Reich' by @gilduran, and strongly recommend. A real 👁 opener. I could never understand why so many tech CEOs were supporting Trump, but now it's all starting to make sense...
If I were alone in a warehouse full of mannequins, i'd get creeped out, becuase part of my brain is alerting me to consciousness that isn't there.
And that's a bloody a mannequin. A plastic mold, that sort of looks like a human.
So it's obvious to me I actually can't make a rationale assessment of whether AI is conscious. Because my brain is constantly, desperately trying to convince me that everything is conscious.
