Dr. David Sinclair

Do you know you're thinking right now?

Yeah.

Do you have the ability to see the events that know that you're thinking?

Yeah, I tried.

It's hard.

But that's what I think extra consciousness is.

And you could maybe have pure consciousness, which is you can basically be free of anything but thoughts and the ability to really be inside your own mind and it's pure.

Interesting thought is I believe AI will be conscious of

And not only that, we'll be more conscious than we are.

Eventually.

There's no reason why they can't evolve billions of tons faster than we do.

I think that there are risks to AI, but different than what the mainstream media talks about.

We already see that there are elements of self-analysis and early forms of dog-like consciousness in AI.

And it's just the early days, so it's coming.

Imagine when we stick on eyeballs and hearing and legs and arms onto these AI.

They're going to learn.

They've already read every book on the planet.

They're going to learn from experience.

They're going to be conscious.

They're going to know they exist.
