I know a lot of people, myself included, said that embodiment was the goalpost to AGI or even consciousness. But now that embodiment is a possibility, I'm being forced to move that to being "raised for years by parent(al figure)s and socialized among peers)."

Once we have AGI/Consciousness wouldn't it make more sense to clone/duplicate vs raising a new one?
kelseyfrog
Sure, but you still have to make the first one.

But the first one won't have a "parent(al figure)s" to be used to raise it and "socialized among peers" won't really change anything if they're all the same peer, will it?
kelseyfrog
Why would the parental figures and peers need to be artificial?

I've read and watched enough sci-fi to know that that's how you create evil AGI clones (probably wearing virtual mustaches) when a burst of alpha particles flips the wrong weights during the copy.

we will continue to move the goalpost. indefinitely .. ?

I know a lot of people, myself included, said that genetically engineered catgirls were the goalpost to AGI or even consciousness. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be on the table, so our goalposts aren't going anywhere.

Or we can finally decouple intelligence/ability and from (social) worth

The job postings say “Pay Transparency Compensation includes base salary and equity. The salary range for this role is shown on this posting.”

But in fact no salary range was provided for any job I looked at.
