I’m not going to argue against your conclusion, I strongly believe we do not have anything resembling human consciousness in software yet.
But Penrose was definitely not proven right (unless you’re talking about black holes), nor was the Orch OR theory about microtubules proven, nor was consciousness proven to be a quantum phenomenon. Here’s an easy, accessible article that goes over the state of the research: https://www.breezyscroll.com/science/new-quantum-evidence-is-reopening-the-debate-over-penroses-theory-of-consciousness/


Out of curiosity, could you link to/share your research for us? The open source stuff in particular?
