As you know, I’m sceptical that classical serial computers with a von Neumann architecture will ever be conscious, let alone have an empathetic appreciation of other conscious minds.
I don’t think an article with statements like this belong to this site.
I don’t think it’s terribly useful as a throwaway comment, distracting from the rest of the argument. It’s certainly clear that the consensus on this site is the opposite (as is my opinion), but that’s not quite enough of a good reason for a blanket “it shouldn’t be on this site”. If it had a good argument behind it (not to necessarily overcome good reasons to believe with it, but enough to at least reasonably engage those reasons) it seems vital that it be on this site.
As it happens, I don’t expect to see an argument of that form. But I’m willing to be surprised.

The content seems relevant. Can the font be fixed?
