Some people were arguing that uploaded minds (or any digital minds) wouldn’t be conscious, but rather philosophical zombies—that is a mind that acts exactly as if it was conscious without actually being conscious.
How are these people who think this assessing whether or not the digital minds are conscious or not? That was my point. If they have a very strong argument (which wasn’t presented) or evidence that digital minds are not conscious, out of that comes the delta, right? If there is no delta, we have as much reason and evidence for the digital mind being conscious as we do for the biological one.
