Yes, it would be quite civilizationally embarrassing to accidently p-zombie ourselves… more generally, it seems valuable to understand tradeoffs in consciousness. This seems to be an important component in any far-future planning.
Also- Andres has done some interesting exploratory work re: defining the problem of future drug epidemics, and discussing game-theoretic considerations.

If we make an AGI which doesn’t have qualia, it will probably will prove that no such thing exist and proceed with p-zombie us.
So in may be better to pursued the way to AGI which probably will provide it with qualia, and one such way is human upgrade
