Every time we talk about consciousness we have someone speaking the kookoo speak.

And this kookoo idea always uses the gaps of science to fill with nonsense. The gaps of science like quantum theory is more mundane than souls or whatever you're thinking. Energy in science is different from what you're thinking, it simply means the ability to get something moving.

I think the real problem is the human language definition of identity. Language fails to describe this because we really didn't develop the concept and we because had no need to for most of human history but this will change when start exploring the boundaries. Sort of like learning the world was round instead of flat but with human identity.

>I believe it is possible to transfer consciousness in the way of replacing pieces of the brain which complicates the question of what is consciousness?

Consciousness can't be confused with brain itself. The brain has a bunch of things running that sum up to a consciousness kind of like Jenga, taking one brick away doesn't mean the whole tower collapses. In Jenga the tower is consciousness and the brain is all of the wood blocks that makes up the tower.

Consciousness is an emergency property of the brain, the tower is the emergent property of the wooden blocks. But obviously consciousness is alot more complicated than a tower.

I watched the video and it seems they have a lot of cool technology but unfortunately it seems that none of it was actually used and what they showed didn't wow anyone, if it was me in charge I would use some of the technology shown in the video in the actual metaverse to impress and build hype instead of what we got which in many cases is worse than the technology we have today.

I can't imagine the connection between what we got and what they have in the labs.

The physical limits of computing is:

> At 20 °C (room temperature, or 293.15 K), the Landauer limit represents an energy of approximately 0.0175 eV, or 2.805 zJ. Theoretically, room-temperature computer memory operating at the Landauer limit could be changed at a rate of one billion bits per second (1 Gbit/s) with energy being converted to heat in the memory media at the rate of only 2.805 trillionths of a watt (that is, at a rate of only 2.805 pJ/s).

Which means trillions of times less power than a lightbulb for a gigabyte internet is the theoretical limit.

Maybe zettabit/s computing power on a lightbulb of energy.
