    It’s a few cerebral cells across a mesh-- I think achieving consciousness needs a bit more than that

        Well, we do know for sure it’d take more than this. We don’t know what it would take, but this is far beyond the minimum it could take. If that’s all it is then almost every form of life on Earth would have to be assumed to be conscious.
