They’re not ever going to be conscious.

We can’t even prove humans are conscious, we just extend the assumption to each other because we want other people to do the same to us.

That is a completely unsupportable claim. For all we know they might already be, for a brief flash at least.

  • They are made of sand. For all we know the sand was conscious before we smashed it up and arranged it into computer chips.

    Oh the irony
