These people have found the way to measure consciousness using Integrated Information Theory (IIT). The unit of measurement is ɸ (phi). With ɸ = 0, there is no consciousness no matter how complicated the system is (computers, Siri, any forward-feeding systems). Its all in the internal wiring. Somewhat similar to what Ive always thought: the consciousness is a function of a critical information density rather than its amount. Now the question at the end of the lecture is what about the internet? There they leave you without answer. Do you think what Im thinking now? If it is a next being, next level of consciousness, the butterfly for which we were just a bunch of stupid larvae.
