Re: Objection 7, I think Aaronson’s point is that, if we actually take seriously the idea that a computer / Turing machine could generate consciousness simply by running the right computer code, we should be prepared for a lot of very, very weird implications.
Re: QRI’s approach, yeah I was trying to balance bringing up my work, vs not derailing the focus of the critique. I probably should have spent more words on that (I may go back and edit it).
Thanks Michael!
