I don't think presentism is a myth, I think it is a conjecture about the nature of time. To me it the evidence does not seem to be conclusive one way ...
Maybe some one could contact them through the channel and see if they are interested. Might be mutually beneficial create traffic back for forth for b...
How about a joke I made up? what to do in case of a zombie attack EAT BRAINS !!! https://mmcneuro.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/u4kwz10gtza2ssuka7kn_zom...
If you can't have it both ways, then that just means that only the "is" part of the statement is true and not the "ought" part. Or are you suggesting ...
My concern is that people are too quick to black box "the problem" and that is not productive for discussing the issue. I don't think the mind or the ...
Meaning for who? Are you suggesting that a computer could not form meanings? How would meaning be possible without logical relationships? Having watch...
Watson is distinctly different than deepmind they use different techniques...I believe deepmind is more flexible in that it can learn to do different ...
No problem...I just would rather that you not assume I have some inability and explain how you can know eternalism is true and presentism is false? As...
Another unresolved question in physics eternalisim vs growing block universe theory. You seem to be an eternalist. Again I should make it the point th...
I think the unconscious mind is more about the brain than the psyche. You personally do not know how your own brain does what it does...but that does ...
The past is a relative term that depends of the frame of reference of the observer. Whatever it means by "the past cannot be changed" is unclear to me...
Again I want to address this notion that what the term mind should mean is exclusively an individual person. I am seeking to explore the philosophical...
Well deepmind is not modeled after a full human brain...it is modeled from a part of the mammalian brain. I think the goal of one to one human to comp...
Thanks for pointing this out...I did not realize the rhetoric of BLM had shifted to such a divisive tone. That to me is tragic not only because it is ...
There is a historical precedent demonstrating that simply installing a democracy in the middle of war is not mission accomplished as well. You may not...
You may be right...this machine is not a being in the sense that a human is a being..at least not yet...I cannot say if it might be possible for it to...
The past has already changed to become the present??? Part of how that is possible is because of probability, chance, randomness. Because of the princ...
I am not sure I understand this. Can you elaborate further on this point? I fear that you are suggesting that computers must be able to operate in a c...
Why? I already conceded the point...you win. It does not matter so I do not care and it does not change my argument if we say undecidability is physic...
Sigh...honestly I don't care. OK fine...have it your way...you are right and undecidibility is "nonphysical." It is unimportant to my argument either ...
Steven Pinker has written on the subject of human violence and I take solace in fact that over the course of history violence seems to be trending tow...
This is simply false. These problems are physically impossible to solve. You are woefully ignorant in this subject area it seems. In reality all of th...
First let me ask do you believe it is or ever will be possible for machines to think in similar ways that humans do such that they can or could form m...
Yes there is. Perhaps you failed to understand. Algorithms are mechanical physical things. They are not just mere abstractions...many problems exist f...
You do realize that during war US forces and our allies have also had collateral damage that injured, and even killed, innocent civilians? Does that m...
It is not clear to me who the bad guys are in this case. Who do you think ought to be held responsible? Islam itself is not the problem as far as I am...
Here is why I believe these computers are being guinely creative but I will concede your point that it is not art in the traditional sense of what thi...
That is the question I am probing. Art is somewhat subjective in how it is interpreted by an audience. So the normative is a dynamic and shifting thin...
That is probably what I am most curious about is if the algorithm could be adapted to do just as you say. Learn emotions, think emotionally, and refle...
Here is some very import and relevant source material to the point I am hoping to make here. In particular stochasticity is the randomness at work in ...
I don't know how to explain it it any better sorry. You are saying that in order for something in the past to be different all of the past would have ...
Well I think it is a cool idea...though I must admit that I would probably not contribute and make video. I just thought if there was a youtube channe...
I disagree...this example is helping define exactly what the term mind should mean in a very practical way. A way that generates results. I have made ...
Oh cool thanks. I thought this was put together from scratch so I was really impressed. Well thanks everyone that had the foresight to start a new pla...
As far as I can tell it is working as intended I was just wondering if clearing the board was a feature and I simply could not find it. I was basicall...
Anyway great work on the site...I was reluctant to migrate over at first because I was already accustom to the PF layout. But PF has pretty much crapp...
Boots on the ground will only serve to address the symptoms (and they would have to be left there indefinitely to do that) it would not cure the real ...
To summarize the debate so far. I have claimed that having an opinion about what someone else ought to do is not, in any practical way, moral. Thus mo...
The interesting thing to me is that this breakthrough was possible because the mind was modeled as though it were an algorithm. In the deepmind exampl...
