The Pong Imperative: Driving Dishbrain to Suicide. ['post by Peter Watts on a recent experiment suggesting a consciousness / intelligence link ]

Ok, there was supposed to be text in the top near the link, there isn't, some I'm pasting the summary of the linked post here.

Peter Watts, the Canadian SF writer known for writing endearingly depressing SF books and promoting the idea consciousness is not essential to sentience has been forced to re-evaluate this position of his following a recent experiment by proponents of the Free Energy Model of consciousness.

Now it appears, at least to him, there may be an intrinsic link between subjective experience and problem solving by intelligent systems.

I only read a little Scott, guess FEM must've been in the majority of posts that I never saw.
