So my observation is that we could embody an AI so that it learns theory of mind-body--but then we could remove the body. This gives a theory of mindful entity that does not need a body to exist. Then the next research step could be to study those properties so as to reconstruct/reproduce a theory of mind-body AI, without needing any embodiment process at all to obtain it. Is that, in principle, possible? It is unclear me.

> we could embody an AI ... a hardware interface that generates a token stream from a living human's body would seem to enable this at some level. Not sure how it would work at scale. Maybe something much simpler like phones with built-in VOC sensors that can detect nuances of the user's perspiration, combined with real time emotion sensing via gait, voice, along with metadata that is already available would be sufficient to produce such a token stream... who knows.

    Point taken. Maybe LLM beings would be the driving force behind more widespread adoption of ECC RAM.
