  Tyler Mills criticized idea #4881.

Assumption A1: Only programs that are people can, while running, constitute qualia/experience/subjectivity/consciousness.

#4881​·​Tyler MillsOP revised about 2 months ago

A quale can be recorded and replayed later, arbitrarily many times. That looping program is not a person (no knowledge is created, however many times it loops, for instance), but it still constitutes experience.
So people are not the only programs that can be qualia.
