Yeah certain people have really latched onto this paper, when in truth it’s pretty much completely meaningless and its only value is the slight novelty of building logic gates in AoE2.
The truth is that we don’t really know what consciousness or morality or understanding of natural language is, and we don’t know if substrate makes a difference. Theoretical computer science says it doesn’t, but we live in a physical universe not a theoretical one, so for all we know it might.
