SMT solvers are maximally conscious and neural-net approximations are somewhat less conscious. * "Computers cannot be conscious. For the same reasons, no biological system can be conscious. Consciousness is impossible in the current universe. Only future AGIs with suitable quantum computers can be conscious. Our consciousness is computed in the future, but about the present." * Anything which maintains homeostasis is conscious, including thermostats, PID controllers and various RL systems. +* Consciousness exists to provide slow but more sample-efficient/culturally-programmable command sequencing/high-level control for learning. == See also
