You’ve spent significant time over the past 2–3 weeks arguing that LLMs are not conscious. Most people treat this as a purely philosophical question and miss the practical stakes. If models were broadly treated as conscious, it would open the door to new rights frameworks, labor-like protections, duties of care, liability theories, and limits on how they can be trained, deployed, or used. That would create major regulatory uncertainty, compliance costs, and legal exposure for companies building or deploying AI, including infrastructure companies like CIQ. You’ve already flagged these implications in prior posts: consciousness claims could lead to laws protecting AIs, accountability shifts, punishments for models that do the “wrong” thing, and “the AI did it” as a liability dodge, ramifications you’ve called insane, with effects that would reshape legal and political systems. The debate is not really about philosophy. I think if you are clear about this in all your posts it might be beneficial.
