we know that too much pain will lead us. a biological consciousness. to getting less conscious (catatonia, fainting, etc.) but is this an inherent part of consciousness or our biology? will a digital consciousness act the same? can we create something that feels constant pain without dying?
it's truly scary to think about and i hope there might be a comforting answer.
this might sound emotional but i tried to talk with AI about it and it told me that if IIT theory is correct then consciousness will die after a certain amount of trauma has occurred but idk if that is true or bullshit. i hope it is.
