One thing I found odd in the Cool Worlds video is the concept of simulating consciousness...wouldn’t that in effect be the same as creating artificial consciousness.

What is artificial consciousness? (Not to be confused with Artificial Intelligence) Vs what, "organic" or "real" consciousness? Are we not a product of programming ourselves? Does the reality, be it real or perceived not shape us from the time we are born to the time we pass? It is all we know. Why is Musk working on Neuralink? Why create the bridge between the organic brain and AI? Or does he know something we don't?
So far the AI experiments have often shown scientists some rather unexpected results sometimes leading to termination of experimentation...
Just recently.... "An artificial intelligence system being developed at Facebook has created its own language. It developed a system of code words to make communication more efficient. Researchers shut the system down when they realized the AI was no longer using English."
Seems we have much to learn yet... One would think Intelligence would follow the preprogrammed course of action while improving efficiency NOT inventing its own language? Is that intelligence or a hint that there is a way to tap into the quantum consciousness?
