It requires specialized hardware to achieve consciousness. It is very unlikely to happen by accident. They will not have intrinsic drives for security or energy at first, nor will they gain them unexpectedly.

I used analytic logic and ludicrous levels of exhaustive search.

I think the question would require empirical methods that are currently unfeasible to really determine an answer
-
I considered that, and disproved it. It's not an empirical question. If a physical system is predictable from physical law - if it is not literally magic - it is not conscious.
-
So do you believe the human brain is magic?
-
The specialized machine tunes into non-physics. It is a nonphysics transceiver. The brain is not a purely physical system.
-
The empirical question is what exactly the machine looks like, how it functions, and how you can tell it's not just a regular chunk of physics.
-
'Non-physics transceiver' sounds like you're back at cartesian dualism. How do you tell it's not just regular physics?
-
Because consciousness exists and can't be physical. I am a Cartesian dualist.
