The common model of subjective experience as an inner theater is fundamentally flawed; it's not about having experiences in a specific location.

I argue that subjective experience is a thin wedge; if AIs can demonstrate it, people will question their confidence in human uniqueness.

Conscious experiences occur in the universe, and it's more accurate to think of them as events rather than attributing them to a solid self, as the feeling of being a self is an illusion. The experience of self is more like an ocean wave than a static entity; it's a dynamic process that evolves over time.

The philosophical misunderstanding of subjective experience contributes to a false sense of safety regarding AI's capabilities.

The distinction between consciousness and self-consciousness is complex, but establishing that AIs have subjective experience challenges the belief that they lack something essential.

Many people believe that consciousness is what makes humans safe from AI, but this belief is based on a misunderstanding of subjective experience.

The existence of God is not subjective; he either exists or he doesn't. You can have your own opinions, but you can't have your own facts.

The brain creates conscious experiences that help us navigate the world, but these experiences do not necessarily reflect the underlying reality, as described by the term 'controlled hallucinations.'

States of mind include both brain activity and bodily sensations, creating a brain-body contract that influences feelings like depression or happiness.
