Maybe you have some other definition of "conscious" in mind but dogs and bats certainly seem far more sentient to me than then the linear algebra box is. My dog wants food, and he doesn't forget he wants food if I tell him he already ate a whole bowl of food.

Oops, my mistake and you're right to call me out for that. I'll make a note in my MEMORIES.md highlighting that one whole bowl of kibble has been consumed. That requirement is satisfied.
