So if the information processing is output to another information process, that overall system is conscious?

by PixyMisa 3y ago
The question then is, what observed property of consciousness is not computational? If there is no such property, then the anti-materialists can be safely ignored.

The people who want to boycott Harry Potter are as toxic as it gets. They attacked Pikamee. If you don't know who Pikamee is, that's like stamping on puppies.

If you want a dedicated server rather than a VM, yes. WebNX / Gorilla Servers, for example. But 7950X dedicated servers are currently pretty expensive from them - about twice the cost per month of a 5950X.
