Evaluating Claims
A robot, in order to be able to exhibit human-level intelligence will need to have 1 petabyte of memory and be able to compute 109 mips.
Is this claim falsifiable?
1 petabyte = 10005 bytes or 1,000,000 gigabytes.

Evaluating Claims
Robots are artifacts, and consciousness abhors an artifact; only something natural, born not manufactured, could exhibit genuine consciousness.
Is this claim falsifiable?

Forward to The Intelligent Universe By Ray Kurzweil
The explosive nature of exponential growth means it may only take a quarter of a millennium to go from sending messages on horseback to saturating the matter and energy in our solar system with sublimely intelligent processes. The ongoing expansion of our future superintelligence will then require moving out into the rest of the universe, where we may engineer new universes. A new book by James Gardner tells that story.

E. T. Hoffmann, “The Sandman”
Certainly you must all be uneasy that I have not written for so long - so very long. My mother, am sure, is angry, and Clara will believe that I am passing my time in dissipation, entirely forgetful of her fair, angelic image that is so deeply imprinted on my heart.

I KNOW you are all very uneasy because I have not written for such a long, long time. Mother, to be sure, is angry, and Clara, I dare say, believes I am living here in riot and revelry, and quite forgetting my sweet angel, whose image is so deeply engraved upon my heart and mind.
