The idea is a p-zombie would not 'genuinely feel' anything, bc feeling implies consciousness.

I think zombies are impossible, but there's nothing 'incoherent' about them. Just imagine a human, but refrain from imagining anything from their first person POV. That's a zombie.

Contrary to claims SB 1047 would only impact AI megacorps, “covered models” include any non-derivative model that is as generally capable as circa-2024 frontier models. Algorithmic progress means in a matter of years, smaller players and even hobbyists *will* fall into its scope.
