I can agree with this.

I can be OK with that.

I disagree with Tononi here. I think consciousness is of the type on/
off (but with different types or degrees of attention, concentration,
amnesy, etc.). Actually I think consciousness is of the type on. It
can't be "of", I think. We can be unconscious but actually never are.
I may be wrong on this, or assert a proper theological statement,
meaning I HAVE to say: "assuming comp and assuming we are correct
löbian machines".
