Turduckens Everywhere

Did you know you can implement a CPU in Minecraft or write arbitrary computer programs using Magic: the Gathering cards? Computing is powerfully weird, and hidden structures and capabilities can arise from all sorts of odd places.

I read a theory a while back that the Internet was, in some meaningful sense, intelligently conscious, though we may never be able to interact with such an intelligence. The analogy was to human consciousness arising from the cells of the brain in a way that no individual cell could ever comprehend it, but despite that it being no less real. The notion of Turing-complete computers being buried inside all manner of languages and tools has a similar vibe to it.
