Similarly, the consciousness explanation that Jacob Falkovich gives would give a lot of things consciousness, though not everything. In particular, the improved Good Regulator Theorem, which proposes that at least one part of consciousness is essentially having models of the world, is applicable to any capable system. Similarly, I expect the cybernetic model to have widespread use, in the sense that a lot of things will find it useful to regulate something.
I think the strongest takeaway from Anil Seth’s model is that future consciousness could be very, very alien, especially once we take away certain parts of it.
