Watch a thought-provoking 11-minute conference talk from the Models of Consciousness Conferences that delves into the philosophical and physical arguments against algorithmic consciousness. Explore complex paradoxes surrounding consciousness duplication, including problems of teleportation, simulation, self-location, the Boltzmann brain, and Wigner's Friend. Learn how special relativity and quantum fluctuations challenge the assumption that conscious states can be copied or repeated through physical means. Examine the logical contradictions that arise when considering multiple instances of the same conscious state, and understand the fundamental relationships between consciousness, locality, physical irreversibility, and quantum no-cloning principles.
