I 'liked' your last 2 posts, they contained a lot of 'reasonable' points. I also credit @"180 Proof"'s summary of your 'complaints' as 'stop picking o...
I asked chatGBT to write me a song about 'what's emergent in humans.' Here's what I got: Verse 1: We are more than just the sum of our parts Our minds...
Hah! I just checked again to see if I could set up an account and I was successful! :grin: They SAID they would send me an email when space was availa...
Interesting, what cable did you use for the transfer? If it was a simple twisted wire pair telephone cable then you would have needed to modulate a di...
Many black folks would probably agree with you and I suspect just as many would not, and do care. I was not solely referring to black people, but to a...
Nah, you forget, @Jamal would hold the dosh! Sounds fair to me! No, I will not offer a candidate AGI/ASI system that I am not convinced is self-aware....
Sounds good. I always enjoyed teaching the network topologies of LAN's and WAN's. We used to use some old BBC Micro's and we built a small client/serv...
I use black as well, mainly, if I am trying to point someone out in a group of people who are not black. I don't know, if that IS problematic. Perhaps...
You can be the judge! I trust you (well, for £50 anyway). If you are not satisfied that the candidate system is self-aware and I am dead, then the cas...
If I could offer you a replacement pinky for the one you have, with the following properties: 1. Aesthetically identical to the pinky you have. 2. Fun...
I'm not so sure, perhaps 'orga' components will be as vital to the successful development of interstellar space, as any pure 'mecha.' I tried to emplo...
:up: Looks like it's been fixed :clap: :rofl: I imagine you will sleep like an innocent child tonight, it's ok, you don't have to thank me. :blush: ht...
Interesting, What op systems did you work on? I did some sub-routine work on syntax analysers and contextual analysers etc, using Pascal (HLL) into a ...
Just based on my recent exchange with Alkis and our posts at: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/13868/emergent/p26#:~:text=the%20human%20brain...
Absafragginlootly! Perhaps yer just a tough dude Alkis, No fears my dears! :up: By the way, when you type @universness, don't use the @ on your keyboa...
I will send £50 to @"Jamal", you do the same. As soon as an AGI/ASI gets created and convinces YOU that it is self-aware and conscious then @"Jamal" w...
I really liked this response by Victor Toth on Quora to the question: To which degree can quantum mechanics be truly understood (Thinking about what R...
Ah! Ok, I get your meaning now. Surely an ASI will send probes to places like Alpha Centauri and Barnards star. They are only a few light years away. ...
Just a small TPF tech point ucarr. Have you noticed that your 'number of posts' variable seems to be stuck on 561! I noticed that it had not moved pas...
I am happy to go with, humans are not coloured, we are all 'shades.' Black and white themselves, are not colours, they are shades. We are also ALL MON...
:lol: You continue to demonstrate you wordsmith skills! I googled 'intrastellar' and the only useful sentence I got was: Is the word intrastellar comm...
No problem Alkis. I enjoy the challenge of the differences in our viewpoints, as I have always found you an honest interlocuter and those are not so e...
Your own choice of link seems to define the term quite well: From that site, we have: What is artificial superintelligence (ASI)? Artificial superinte...
That's the only white people I have ever encountered (albino's). This is also the opinion of commander Shran in Star Trek Enterprise. :grin: https://y...
No, ASI is proposed, based on the current advances in AI and by an observed pace of advancement, indicated by such as Moore's law. A book contains kno...
A future ASI maybe as comparable with the intellect of Anne Sullivan as you or I are comparable with the intellect of a chimpanzee. You are attempting...
Yes, I do think long commutes are a waste of resources. I quite liked most of the imagery you invoked in: But, I didn't like the suggestion that in yo...
Via population education, a better means of production, distribution and exchange, perhaps we can make the deserts bloom, build environmental friendly...
You are merely trying to suggest a scenario which YOU think CURRENT automated systems could not deal with. I will leave such issues to the experts in ...
A great clip. I had not watched this one, and I liked the 4 strands mentioned and the proposed connectivity between them. Last night, I watched this a...
You are welcome! It's bizarre to me that @"Gnomon" actually thinks we are doing him a favour, by encouraging him to explain more about his motivations...
I will take the liberty of repeating them here, to help remind @"Gnomon", that he should try to answer them and I confirm, that he does not need to pr...
I think you cut my quote, incompletely: instead of: I was not comparing our knowledge of Computing Science, I was suggesting my love of Computing Scie...
Yeah, brain chemistry is easily impacted. At least you have not lost your 'love' of maths. Absolute fluency in any language, is very hard to achieve, ...
Yeah, I've watched that lecture twice. It's great for reducing your model of the universal fundamentals from the baryons (protons, neutrons, electrons...
You might find: ENCYCLOPEDIA OF QUANTUM PHYSICS AND PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE Interesting: From that site, we have: The most fundamental entities of matte...
The first sentence from the site 'All about philosophy,' describes deism as: Deism is the belief in a supreme being, who remains unknowable and untouc...
I agree with your suggestion that 'functionality' can be miniaturised but I have not really thought about how miniature something could be, but still ...
I don't understand why you would ask such a question? Perhaps those who train guide dogs for the blind, for example, could explain it to you better th...
I think your issue here is that you see your issues in terms of getting pegged or being in holes. My aim has always been at your 'reasoning,' not your...
Yeah I remember some of our early exchanges, and my labelling of you as a doomster. I think I was wrong in that accusation ...... but ...... sometimes...
