Why Leibniz Couldn't Find the Mind Inside the Mill (Joscha Bach)
Joscha Bach lays out his Machine Consciousness Hypothesis, the claim that consciousness is a simple biological learning algorithm which self-organising machines might rediscover. The discussion covers causal patterns and software, why IIT and the explanatory gap fail to explain experience, zombies and LLM self-reports, functionalism, Gödel and the Ruliad, and what evidence could ever settle the question.
