Alexander Doria jokes humanities researchers should not get compute for consciousness modeling

Alexander Doria, posting on X as @Dorialexander, jokes that compute should not go to humanities-adjacent researchers.

His remark came after a Digital Humanities conference session on modeling consciousness, which he says attendees approached "yolo" about the topic. He made the comment in reply to a post asking whether people want general intelligence.

The only source is Doria's own post, which is a joke and not a policy statement. The report does not say which conference, which session, or which researchers he meant.
