Whole lotta ifs and assumptions. "A high enough level of information processing" is meaningless if we don't have any idea what sort of information processing could lead to consciousness, because it clearly isn't just raw throughput.

AGI definitionally improves itself, which implies awareness of itself and intention. Those are a huge amount of how we define consciousness.

The general definition.

Yeah no only people who don't understand the tech are worried about AGI. There is zero evidence to suggest that we're anywhere on the right path to develop it. The chatbots are not intelligent, they are just a big bag of all the data the trainers could scrape and an algorithm to pull things out of that bag in a way that humans like.

Actual AGI would require us to understand how consciousness works. We don't at all.

I don't use their software suite -- I can't remember if it's possible to get working on Linux, but when I used it on Windows I found it to be mostly a gimmick. I prefer the unfiltered audio.

The hardware is solid, but they've also got other options. I used to own an Arctis 5, which was also good. I think the drivers are just a bit higher quality in the Pro but I didn't have sound quality complaints with the cheaper ones, they just failed after several years.

Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. My biggest recommendation for wireless though is just to avoid Bluetooth. Get something with its own dedicated base station. Not that Bluetooth doesn't work with Linux, but it's just not the best tech and introduces a lot of potential failure points.

The browsers implement the DRM protections. It will be black if you try to record.

Well that seems like a fairly big deal.

Wow no one's said emacs yet

Have you ever used Linux?

You seem very misinformed so I'm just providing you with resources.
