in the panel discussion on AI and ex machina, they talk 
of consciousness of robot but being artists they're really wondering aloud about human consciousness which is irreplaceable though it may in fact be replaced. is consciousness getting rare? or just rare in humans? people are so fucking weird! 

 they say you got to be conscious to interact. fair enough. they say, what if we're pretending, like robots, to be endowed with consciousness?

i'm pretty sure fen is conscious, especially in the sea, he's not pretending.

consciousness can be uncomfortable though. that's probly why humanoids hide in personal devices and technological entertainment war f-book.

anywho, if they really did have intelligence i s'pose they would create artificial intelligence because as we all bow to the god complex in some way. look, fen, this space monkey, was made from wolf-stock. it's crazy. you gotta admit tho it's kind of cool.
