I don't see this. Why would it at least be possible to make a p-
zombie?
(And if you can show by a further argument that it's a conscious

clearly it wasn't a zombie...)
I think he means that strong AI would be possible, and then strong
AI + comp
-> conscious programs.
At least *weak* AI would be possible. Weak AI means computers could do
everything we do but without necessarily being conscious. Strong AI
means they would also be conscious.
Yes. It is the usual meaning.
