I think you have very good ideas. Do you assume that self-awareness does not
spontaneously emerge from a sufficiently complex adaptive neuro-system? If
we *can* implement full self-awareness in an artificial intelligence, why
not implement it in semi-conscious fundamentalists as well? But if fundies
don't have sufficient intelligence to respond to our implementation, and if
the SI does have adequate rationality to do so, how can we avoid
implementing full self-awareness in the SI?
I mean, if the SI can outperform the brightest red neck intellectually, how
can it not attain self-awareness (autonomously) equal to or greater than
that of the red neck? Conversely, if we can implement full self-awareness in
the SI, why not do so for the red necks of the world first?
