  5. The idea that if we build a sufficiently complex #AI #consciousness will magically "emerge" from dead matter is increasingly being recognized in #ConsciousnessStudies as a philosophical dead end.

    Leading researchers seem to be converging on an idea that was first articulated in the ancient Vedas and systematized by Adi Shankara 1200 years ago as #AdvaitaVedanta:

    Consciousness does not emerge from matter. Rather, *matter* is an appearance in Universal Consciousness *to* Universal Consciousness

    If you haven't had your mind blown lately I try to keep Chris Loftings writings and ideas alive.

    Very info dense, some heavy lifting to read any of his essays but if you like being in the deep end of the pool it's worth checking out. Especially #Ai/#data science and #consciousnessstudies enthusiasts.
