Title
Self-evidencing and consciousness-specific mortal computation
Abstract
Seth argues in favour of strongly substrate-dependent biological naturalism. I suggest we need more reason to believe the substrates in question are consciousness-specific. Instead, the case for mortal computational biological naturalism is more promising. A self-evidencing framing helps elucidate what the consciousness-specific functional characteristics of mortal computation might be, leaving conscious AI waiting in the wings.
