The thoughts on this really don't matter, its wasted effort.
There is one Organic molecular machines with consciousness that we can already build and they are called babies.
There is a simple way for most of us to do that, and anything else is just a perversion, whether the people seeking this know it or not (being blind in hubris).
There is no point in creating another thinking creature that doesn't benefit yourself, except as a replacement for children.
The only benefit of creating an automata different from children is if you wanted a slave, or to discriminate. There's really no other benefit, and it uses resources that children would normally use, the opportunity cost being children; leading to extinction.
Its important to put resources into making the world a better place, not produce more paths to destroy it.
