    A 10TB SSD is not conscious. SQLite is not conscious. A wafer is not conscious.

      Molecules are not conscious. Cells are not conscious. Neurons are not conscious. But connect them all together.

        Yes, which is why the focus should be on how they're connected together. Not what happens after we connect them to create Jason Bourne.

        SQLite was mentioned as a placeholder to make it a queryable database. Genome as an analogy.

        We need to develop new type of databases and connect them to ML.
