Yes. Not sure if you intended that wording and I'm just reading it wrong. But no, atoms > chair and brain states > mind states are not analogous. For ...
I wasn't disagreeing with the idea that brain states produce mind states. I'm disagreeing with the idea that brain states and minds states are the sam...
This is certainly not correct. if we had the capability, I could write down the state of every aspect of my brain over a period of four seconds from a...
Well, if there is free will, then you're wrong. Obligations is another matter. But the choice is still the result of free will. It can't not be the re...
I can't read that, because I don't subscribe. But didn't John Travolta answer this in Phenomenon? Indeed. Hence, the Hard Problem. But I don't know wh...
That post, as I said, makes it clear why AI will never be human. It does not touch on the topic of mediums other than our biological brain being able ...
I agree. There's an awful lot we don't know. But we have a problem with not knowing everything. We need to know everything. So we make up what we have...
That does not address the possibility of a medium other than our biological brain being able to do anything beyond the physical capabilities of the me...
It seems to me that, if PSI is real, it says something about the nature of mind and consciousness. It would change how we approach, well, everything. ...
For the moment, yes. The question is whether or not it is possible for them to do more. Our physical brains operate under physical laws. If we can do ...
Where can I find this ample evidence? I say nonsense. These can be tested easily and as frequently as anyone could want. For every time someone though...
I think I understand what you're trying to say. I did not before. i'm more talking about AI thinking the way we do. Our brains operate within physical...
I'm not sure how you mean things. I guess humans evaluate each others' output and determine that thinking or reasoning has occurred. If AI thinks and ...
Humans came about due to physical processes of cause and effect without, as far as we know, any intelligent guidance. Our involvement is surely an adv...
What is the evidenced that AI will never be as good as human beings, never acquire emotional intelligence, and never go beyond the process or method o...
Indeed. Natural Intelligence didn't develop only because of the writings of all previous intelligence. It certainly didn't start because of writing. A...
linked an article that says AI outperforms humans in standardized tests of creative potential. linked an article that says AI get stupider as it consu...
I don't. I think it happened through natural processes. And I think we are subject to nature. I don't. I just think the gap between us and any other s...
I guess it's this: Whatever the gap between fly and bat is, I don't think it approaches the gap between bat and human. I don't think the gap between a...
As I said, I don't know anything about this. Would you know what type of intelligence a dolphin has that a fish doesn't? They certainly seem to have m...
Right?? Lol The intellectual gap between any two species of animal may be a gap of degree along a spectrum. I don't know what differences of type they...
Watership Down? :grin: I've never thought about it, or looked up what has been said about it. Maybe there is a difference between their ability to tel...
If the dog had the capacity to understand mathematics, and it was our inability to teach it that was the problem, it would not need teaching any more ...
Indeed. Different material. Different capabilities. Different senses. Different history. An existence as different from ours as can be. If a conscious...
I don't know my epistemic from a hole in the ground. But it's certainly possible things aren't as they seem. That's happened enough times that we know...
I think a simulation scenario could be otherwise. Maybe we are all AI, and the programmer of the simulation just chose this kind of physical body out ...
Acting on the facts that we're aware of, and have no reason to believe are false? The alternative is to act against those facts. We are certainly maki...
We did believe all those things. Until we had reasons to believe things weren't what they seemed. I suppose someone noticed something nobody else had....
Many things are not what they seem. But until we have reason to believe they are not, I would say the default is to assume they are. The first one bei...
I already say "Thank you" to Alexa and Siri. If I had a digital watch, I suppose I wouldn't mind thanking it. I'm gonna need a better scenario than th...
How would we know we developed sentient AI? I would think whatever criteria we used to determine that would be used to evaluate all computing devices....
Of course. Put a picture of a golden mountain next to block letters spelling out "golden mountain." When told to imagine a golden mountain, I imagine ...
I've been pondering something. Combining a few ponderings. It seems I'm awfully wordy sometimes. :grin: I don't know enough about IIT to know how much...
I just learned about his new book. Haven't looked at it yet. https://www.amazon.com/World-Beyond-Physics-Emergence-Evolution/dp/0190871334/ref=mp_s_a_...
Interesting point. This, too. :grin: I believe things are as they seem, until there is reason to believe otherwise. And I think BBs are an absurd idea...
Yes, I read and watch videos. I'll never understand the physics to any degree, but I try to get the jist of things. Sadly, I can't say the jist is for...
