How is pointing to kernel threads different than pointing to precise measures of brain activity? Even if it gets incredibly accurate, it doesn’t explain qualia.

How is pointing to kernel threads different than pointing to precise measures of brain activity? Even if it gets incredibly accurate, it doesn’t explain qualia. That is the so-called Hard Problem in philosophy.
- rbanffy 4y agoThere’s also a different question: what if we replicate similar behaviours, but based on a completely different model completely unrelated to the neural networks of an organic brain? Can we truly tell something it’s not conscious just because it was built on different principles? It’s very likely the first alien intelligences we get to observe and communicate with will be completely… alien to us and our mammalian brains and whatever thought processes they use will be wildly different from anything we observe in nature around us.
