I have to say that this is only one interpretation of what it would mean

actually is.
I would like to hear your definition of pain and/or negative reinforcement.
Can you answer the question of whether a machine (say, an AGI or an uploaded
human brain) can feel pain?
When I get a chance to finish my consciousness paper. The question of
what it is is quite complex. I'll get back to this later.
But most people are agreed that just having an algorithm avoid a state
is not equivalent to pain.
