The technological struggles are in some ways beside the point. The financial bet on artificial general intelligence is so big that failure could cause a depression.
Well of course there is? I mean that’s like not even up for debate?
Consciousness is that we “experience” the things that happens around us, AGI is a higher intelligence. If AGI “needs” consciousness then we can just simulate it (so no real consciousness).
Well that was what I meant, there is absolutely no indications there would be a need for consciousness to create general intelligence. We don’t need to figure out what consciousness is if we already know what general intelligence is and how it works, and we seem to know that fairly well IMO.

Of course that’s up for debate; we’re not even sure what consciousness really is. That is a whole philosophical debate on it’s own.
