I'm a materialist, so I think digital consciousness is totally possible. But then I'm also a bit of an animist too, so maybe you're right.

I agree overall, though. It's so much more epistimology than actual technology, and the field seems to be half grifters and half cultists. Which doesn't really inspire confidence that this is in any way a genuinely useful commercial venture.
