Your consciousness, awareness and intelligence is the product of exponential expansion from virtually nothing to all of the universe and everything in it including your consciousness. We are watching artificial intelligence take the same path we took. From the first vacuum tube calculator that was the size of a Winnebago travel trailer to the state of artificial intelligence today is a quantum leap. It has only just begun but at the rate knowledge is increasing and being made available, it is only a matter of time before we have self-aware electronic entities.
