Thank you. That makes sense to me. FWIW, it sure feels as if there's some unknown probability of self-awareness/consciousness emerging as a consequence of more computation + larger models + greater task diversity, but as you point out, we really don't know, and cannot predict the occurrence or timing of such an emergence. It would be a "black swan," as defined by Taleb.
