I’m pulling the “twitter is a microblog” rule even though twitter is pretty mega now, hope that’s ok.

      Yeah, I’m not entirely sure that microcontrollers aren’t conscious. If insects (and maybe plants and fungi) are conscious, a lot of mundane stuff we’ve built could technically be as well.

      I think we need to get away from the idea that consciousness is special or rare.
