Somewhat friendly to developers.

Middling-poor treatment for customers.

Unscrupulous evil bastards towards their competition.

I get what you're saying, but that answer seems to make the assumption that consciousness is like a little homunculus living in our brain, rather than something that arises from a network of parts.

I'm wondering how many of those parts are required to maintain consciousness, and whether or not we can swap those parts out on the fly and keep the system feeling more or less intact as we do so.
