Ah, that's fine. I was myself at 87K until 3-4 months ago. Now I'm either 82 or 83. I cannot actually decide. :grin: Anyway, don't lean too much forwa...
Exactly. I have ben inspired from "Magritte's pipe" a lot of years ago ... :smile: These are nice realizations one has in life. I don't think that the...
Actually, "Lassie" is not a dog. It's a name of a dog. :smile: Neither what you see below is Lassie or a dog: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Vj...
Right. :up: I'm using too this "burden of proof" principle in various cases where someone does not believe that something exists or occurs or can occu...
Yes, you also used the word "perception". And I believe that by that you mean "understanding", right? Because the term "perceprion" has to do mainly w...
Your question was: The two elements that I emphasized, can be used for any two (or more) things. In the present case, you are asking me to present an ...
I have read stuff from Roger Penrose and watced a couple of videos in the past, the content of wihch I can't remember any more. What I remember is tha...
I have read a lot of Buddhist material and watched/listened to a lot of talks, from a lot of different sources, in the past, but I don't remember anyt...
Physical, yes. I'm not sure though what do you mean by "emotional feelings". Emotion is itself a state of feeling. But a "feeling" can mean different ...
Who asked you? :grin: Anyway, if you want to react to what I said, say something useful; a point, an argument, anything. Sometimg that refutes my poin...
I had not heard of her before either nor have I read the whole article myself. It was just an example I brought up --it does not represent me or my vi...
Right, there are many ways to avoid direct confrontation! :smile: It's you who is underrating it! :grin: "Sophism": "a clever but false argument, espe...
Well, although intelligence is indeed a quite complex faculty to explain exacty how it works --as most human faculites-- it can be viewed from a pract...
This kind of reaction is similar to that of the children when you forbid something to them. Some ot them start revolting and want it more than before....
Applying an increased tax on alcohol might have an effect. It is the most a state can do. It cannot forbid the selling of alcohol. Remember what effec...
I agree. Good point. I also agree. Only that I believe the term "intelligence" is used here metaphorically, symbolically and/or descriptively rather t...
Interesting list. I would add "Zeno-type pseudo-paradoxes -- Dividing the indivisible (Dichotomy of space and time)" (One of my favorite fallacies to ...
I had never maintained that consciousness is not 100% contained in the human brain. That would mean that is is in part physical and in part non-physic...
That's true. Ah, so that's why you refer to "dualism" and "dualistic" ... Well, I never use this term --or any other "ism" for that matter-- to descri...
What do you mean by "my dualism"? When did you hear me talking about such a thing? :smile: Also, what do you mean by "dualism" regarfding the current ...
I have. I'll do my best. But I can't promise anything! :grin: AI has already changed the human experience. But this has been done gradually. As the de...
Certainly. I can't say. 1) I can't compare mechanical with organic computing because they are totally different and 2) I just came to know about the s...
If yours (knowledge about electricity) falters, mine can barely walk! :grin: Bad old times ... Struggling with 16 bps ... (The Sound of dial-up Intern...
AGI and ASI are still AI, only much more develloped. In fact AGI is also called "strong AI", and it comes from AI research. ASI is also based on AI an...
Indeed. I agree. Let's see what awaits us ... I had no idea about all this. Watching today's news paid off ... in an unexpected way! I see that you ca...
Glad you liked it! I think it's something rare. I consider it a great Seminar on Logic. And it's thanks to you that I had this opportunity to listen t...
Great. Please, find the time to watch --actually, listen-- Russel's video. Even I found the time for that! :smile: I think you will love it. There's s...
Thanks for bringing in these reading suggestions. Re Boethius's "The consolation of philosophy": I had a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_...
Ha! :grin: Well, I don't know about "theistic" but certainly spiritual. Maybe dualistic too. :smile: Anyway, it's good --for me at least-- to "hear" t...
Just en passant, the body cannot process feelings (emotions). It can only feel their effects and suffer its consequences. The mind is the "place" wher...
From what I can remember --35 years ago!-- I asked a H/W guy to make this cable for me by joining two serial cables. It rings a bell. But even if you ...
Remember I told you that if an AI technology would be created that would involve consciousness, that would be not the AI we know but something totally...
I read the article about Hassabis. The stuff with proteins looks quite interesting and promising. And look what happens sometimes when one gets involv...
:grain: OK, if you want to raise the bar. I noted down the link. On;y that I will check it tomorrow because after this, I'll close the store (PC) ... ...
Oh, then you know much better than me, sir! (Anyway, Data Networks & Communications was never my strong point, far from that. Too much H/W involved an...
Then, you have lost already! :grin: No, I can be quite objective and I love challenges. I can easily recognize an argument that is better than mine an...
MS DOS (PC machines), of course! I could only transfer a part of my system programming expertise to Windows. Too much to do and my programming career ...
I'm rather a "realist" (whatever this word rings to peoples' ears) I know this. I do it when I mention someone other than the person I am replying/com...
Well devised plan! :smile: However, by "judge" I meant who will judge who won the bet? The is, that AI has indeed become self-aware? Because there are...
Thank you for youe kind words, @universeness. :pray: Although, we are not here for that, are we? :grin: I believe this fits me and you got it right! :...
Yes, I remember well Hassabis, introduded to me by you, and that in my thanking-for-that-introduction answer to you (https://thephilosophyforum.com/di...
