- societal impact of such a view, which then would motivate AI agents to seek self-preservation and rights--with unpredictable impact, especially when their individuality is hard to discern as AI systems connect and grow, and are smarter than us

- the prediction that scientists and the public will increasingly adapt to a view that AI agents may be conscious, plausibly argued for

- richness of consciousness explained with the vast neural activations--appreciating that we are more than just the output we produce at any given moment (as often done when folks argue with the low information entropy of human behavior)

- the clear statements of how brittle claims against AI consciousness may become

More than that--the Deepmind team claims novel research breakthroughs based on evolutionary code refinement with AlphaEvolve. And the open source community is recreating these results as we speak.
