This is not because consciousness is impossible in machines. It is because consciousness is so poorly understood in biological systems that building a test for it anywhere, organ

The traditional path to discovering a new battery material involves chemists coming up with a hypothesis, synthesizing a compound, and then testing it. The result informs the next hypothesis, and so on and so forth.  If they are efficient, they might test a few dozen compounds per year. The discovery of lithium-ion batteries had taken decades of this iterative work. In 2025, Microsoft and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory approached the problem differently. They used

In 2023, Anthropic posted a Prompt Engineer job with a $375,000 salary and no requirement for a computer science degree. McKinsey had reported that 7% of organizations were hiring Prompt Engineers.
