The problem of raising the sanity waterline in the world that currently exists is not one of dealing with emulated consciousness. The word bottleneck makes only sense if you apply it to a particular moment in time. Before the invention of emulated consciousness, any problems with emulated consciousness are not bottlenecks.
Yes, I’m merely using a emulated consciousness as the idealised example of a problem that applies to non-emulated consciousnesses that are outsourcing cognitive work to computer systems that are outside of their control and may be misaligned with their interests. This is a bigger problem for you if your are completely emulated but still a problem if you are using computational prostheses. I say it is bottle-necking us because even it’s partial form seems to be undermining our ability to have rational discourse in the present.
