My thinking is this:
As refresh rates go higher, we tend to get lower latency. Is that directly related to consciousness is my question? Think about this for a moment just don't have a knee jerk reaction to me please, they are just thoughts, I am not claiming anything to be true.
Now that we have 240hz 0.5ms monitors, and computer hardware seems to be still scaling even if Moore's Law is somewhat dead... I remember reading about processors that use light, or maybe even this type of technology being scaled to CPU's in the future Indium Photons
My thinking is that the human brain gives us consciousness because we have no to little latency because of the light/neurons... (so like when under an MRI they can see certain parts of the brain light up, etc).
Now does this idea scale you think? Like current definitions of AI don't interest me, to me it is just a bunch of If statements, but if there is no self-awareness and no ability to have original thought, then it is not AI to me. However, I am optimistic AI can exist within even my harder definition of it. In the far far future, like where fiber optic light signals are not just for data, but are applied to CPU hardware, etc...
I am a bit lost what I am even trying to ask here... any help is welcome, but I really think I am on to something. Latency seems to be directly related to consciousness, and also when we game at higher refresh rates we seem to become more immersed in the game... if this keeps scaling in the next 50 years, especially with VR and Augmented Reality... the immersion may become so addicting... inevitably so. The really interesting thing to me is, AI and what it really does become self-aware, like what is consciousness? What makes me want to even type this question to you on a message board? Would an AI ever have a question? Maybe in order to be an AI it needs to be able to ask questions it can't answer, is that consciousness/self-awareness?
