My thoughts too before getting the N 5 x I had the N 4 . The 5 market has been abandoned as far as I can tell . <| sep |> Huh . As a kid we called them ' pegacorns '.<| sep |> Kind of . The difference is that its actually saying that the china brain is much more organized than it would even need to be to be conscious . The china brain being defined as functioning near identically to smaller brains . This is making the point that even without that specific structure , it still qualifies for any meaningful metric of consciousness we have . We don ' t have to do anything in particular , the brain already exists . So its not just the opposite conclusion , but saying that much less is necessary even than the china brain has , and that a china brain would be even more obviously conscious .
