First define what consciousness is.
Personally I don't see any hard problem of consciousness at all. The whole pursuit of AI brings it into sharp focus as you start to realise why we have the abilities that we do when you realise the need for them when building an embodied autonomous robot.

Yep.
Consciousness will eventually arise given enough time if a) it is possible to arise from the underlying mechanisms and also b) it helps maximise entropy over time.
So in other words, if by being consciousness the agent can more effectively act within its limited lifetime to exploit resources and explore the environment economically for the most resources.
And we see this happening with Darwinian evolution with such agents breeding more frequently and successfully to continue the trend.
The brain is a self organising bio-physical chemical system and is therefore subject to the same laws of Thermodynamics as every other naturally occuring system.
