They are uniformly linear processors, based on a Von Neumann technology, which is quite different than the architecture of the brain.You can emulate any architecture on regular supercomputer.

precisely why I don't consider them to be possible. If they report an internal state in a way that is consistent with the physical evidence, then they *are* conscious.
