The IIT paper which you linked is very interesting—I hadn’t previously internalised the difference between “large groups of neurons activating concurrently” and “small physical components handling things in rapid succession”. I’m not sure whether the difference actually matters for consciousness or whether it’s a curious artifact of IIT but it’s interesting to reflect on.
Thanks also for providing a bit of a review around how Camp #1 might think about morality for conscious AI. Really appreciate the responses!
