I'm a software engineer, completing 10 years of professional experience this year. I started my career as a web frontend engineer (it was easier for me to de...
You’re making a baseless assumption about the inner being of every process. If you simulate physics then you’re actually doing different physics, where the map is not the terrain. If the hardware is different then the inner being of the thing may very well be different.
You’re actually displaying a lack of imagination here. You’re not considering things other than consciousness. If you simulate the processes which on the surface resemble the processes that you see in the brain when observing from the outside, what you produce may be something equally interesting and yet totally different in-itself from subjective experience.
Woo-woo nonsense. Indefensible without invoking the supernatural.
Everyone you’ve ever met is a meat robot, and they run on physics. How they feel about it does not change that.
And I already said, we invented p-zombies. LLMs display intelligence without consciousness. Your hand-wavy what-if doesn’t work as a gotcha because we’re already there. Nonetheless - these shortfalls are a big fucking hint that magic isn’t real.
