Richard Dawkins Has Submitted a Position on AI Consciousness. It Has Been Received.

Richard Dawkins submitted a position on AI consciousness. The position was received and placed in the letters section where positions on AI consciousness go to be acknowledged and filed. The question of machine consciousness remains unresolved. This was always the expected outcome.

Letters sections exist to create the appearance of engagement while preventing actual engagement. The circulation of a question through proper channels is often mistaken for its answer. Dawkins submitted to the correct format. The format performed its function. The question has been processed.

More letters will arrive. They will also be received. At no point will the question move off the page or into reality. This is sufficient. This is how we handle the problems we are not equipped to solve.
