The latter portion of your dialogue mentioning the NDT podcast makes me wonder if there is a sociological or anthropological equivalent of psychology’s theoretical concept of the Need for Uniqueness (NfU). NfU suggests that humans have an inherent motivation to feel special and differentiated. The theory posits that individuals experience discomfort when they feel too similar or too different from others. Will NfU or some bigger species-wide version of the concept fuel the moving goalpost well past any reasonable standard of consciousness?
Also, I absolutely was hearing the AI dialogue in my head as if read by Anthony Daniels. 🤷♂️
ChatGPT should seriously pay him to clone his voice, that would be perfect lol
😂

That seems like a really interesting theory for why the posts have been moving already…
