@Liron, consciousness as an after-the-fact rationalization would surprise you?
And this post seems suspiciously like a set-up for Sterling's short story "The Compassionate, the Digital."
Yeah, because I'm sure that consciously representing "I want to implement this software feature" is a direct cause of that software feature getting implemented. I would be surprised if you couldn't analyze the feature-implementation phenomenon by pointing to consciously-represented goals and subgoals.
