Christof and David’s bet…

My old friend, Christof Koch had to pay off his bet to David Chalmers with a case of wine because we haven’t yet figured out the neurobiological substrate of human consciousness (the hard problem variety), but I think there’s something bigger going on with the field right now–namely the question of whether ChatGTP’42’ will be deemed sentient (no more fired employees Google) and it will be revealed that consciousness is an emergent or even an epiphenomenon of complexity. Meaning, we still won’t understand it as a reductionist would want to. That’ll be a big problem for Popperian science.
