“Sometimes a hypocrite is nothing more than a man in the process of changing.”

“let’s instead define life very broadly, simply as a process that can retain its complexity and replicate.”
― Max Tegmark, Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

“Life 1.0”: life where both the hardware and software are evolved rather than designed. You and I, on the other hand, are examples of “Life 2.0”: life whose hardware is evolved, but whose software is largely designed. By your software, I mean all the algorithms and knowledge that you use to process the information from your senses and decide what to do—everything from the ability to recognize your friends when you see them to your ability to walk, read, write, calculate, sing and tell jokes.”
― Max Tegmark, Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

“If consciousness is the way that information feels when it’s processed in certain ways, then it must be substrate-independent; it’s only the structure of the information processing that matters, not the structure of the matter doing the information processing. In other words, consciousness is substrate-independent twice over!”
― Max Tegmark, Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
