Is AI conscious? No.

Will AI become conscious soon. No.

Is it possible for AI to become conscious in the far future when it integrates with the quantum field and beyond? I think probably yes (my current view).

Putting together a quick melody and lyrics to a riff I played in high school by myself on the guitar back in the day. Seeing what sticks. It's recorded super fast on my phone when the idea came to mind, and I'm a little under the weather atm and no practice so hey :).

Hard to find what I'm looking for, but this is amazing ancient Chinese music, called Guqin style I guess, the plucked seven-string. Have a listen 🙂✍️❤️

Post AGI, nobody is going to need to work.

The whole goal of technology is to solve the worlds problems. This means solving *every* problem. Including the need to work itself. At least the *need* to work to survive.

We need to solve the core philosophical problems. As a community.
