Why Digital Minds Can’t Wake Up - Andrés Gómez Emilsson , DemystifySci #407
Digital systems can imitate intelligence, but they cannot form the unified inner world that makes a mind awake. Andres Gomez Emilsson explains why coherence, boundaries, and lived integration are essential features of consciousness that code alone cannot replicate...yet. The conversation explores the limits of simulation, the illusion of depth in generative models, and why machine behavior is not the same as experience. What emerges is a clearer picture of where digital minds stop and where our minds begin. If AGI is really our goal, we seem to be going about it all wrong. And that's a big "if."
