If AI can observe and collapse the wave function in quantum experiments, it may indicate a form of consciousness, which is a significant area of exploration.

I propose that gravity plays a role in collapsing the wave function, suggesting that the energy cost of creating a superposition can lead to a collapse in a very short time.

The collapse of the wave function is a physical process, and I argue that quantum mechanics, as it currently stands, is incomplete and needs significant modification.

The relationship between consciousness and matter is complex; consciousness is not merely a byproduct of material processes but is integral to existence.

I believe consciousness is fundamental, but it depends on the framework within which you're asking the question.

Consciousness is binary; it either exists or it doesn't, and the question of the lowest possible amount of consciousness before it ceases to exist is what keeps me up at night.

Consciousness might just be a malfunction of the brain rather than an essential feature, similar to how light gives off heat as a side effect.

Consciousness might be a fundamental property of the universe, akin to gravity, rather than arising from complex processing.

The most unsettling idea about consciousness is how non-conscious matter in the universe can configure to create an experience of being from the inside, and the mystery of how that transition occurs keeps me up at night.
