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.
