I hate to always have to be the one to say it, but the fact that we have computer systems that can store tremendously more information that the human brain and access it faster and make more connections between that data and that system is not already conscious, means that the keystone idea behind emergence is wrong and superintelligence is a waste of time. If emergence forms after sufficient complexity, then explain to me why dogs are conscious and AI isn't even close to consciousness? Like there is something more to consciousness than complexity obviously. Some missing piece that eludes our current understanding of what consciousness is. This whole thing has always been a farce because they don't actually know what they are trying to create. And we don't need to spend trillions and boil the entire ocean to have horny conversations... Just pay a sex worker like a decent person. Fuck sake.
