We want subpoenas.
We want investigations.
We want whistleblowers.

My paper "Computational Phenomenology" is forthcoming in the Oxford Handbook of Phenomenology of Science! 🎉
To be clear, I don't think AI is conscious, but I do think computational models can shed light on the _structure_ of consciousness.

As Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed took the stage in Dearborn today, he dapped up and shook the guys’ hands while just walking by the one woman on stage, who was wearing a hijab.
