Thank you for posting it. > At the moment, there are no regulations in the United States or in Europe that would stop a researcher from creating consciousness. Wow. I don't know what to think.

Many of those researchers have kids too and so spent many nights in bed trying to ‘create consciousness’ ;)

Somehow I don’t think federal regulations were on their minds when they were doing this.
