I agree and disagree. I agree that consciousness is probably born from simple mechanisms driven by evolutionary pressure. I also agree that we shouldn't program it but have it "evolve" consciousness on it's own, by putting it in a similar environment as ours and applying some sort of evolutionary game theory. This can be done in simulation. I disagree with the part that organic material is necessary because I don't believe that the brain is fighting the environment to prevent being dissolved. Yes we are fighting the environment to stay alive but this can also be true for AI. Maybe it's just semantics, but biology fighting the environment to stay alive aided by evolutionary processes and the brain fighting the environment to prevent being dissolved are different but adjacent concepts to me.
