I was impressed by this: A person answered, "no, I don't think that's a good idea. She's not going to like the color and I think her finger's too big....

I would save mom. I couldn't live with myself if I didn't. I would think the other person would understand. I certainly would, if the roles were rever...

I thought it was just me.

It seems to me that "is the brain the source of consciousness?" is not a mysterious question. The answer is either yes or no. We should be able to fig...

I was just curious. He's a science Youtuber. He talks about how Ai, instead of taking us over, will cajole and manipulate and charm us into a kind of ...

Civilians should be restricted to revolvers, shotguns, and bolt-action rifles. Any one (or combination) of those is sufficient for home and self-defen...

Is it possible ChatGPT will become the de facto fact-checker?

Do you ever watch Isaac Arthur?

A man runs into a bar and goes to the hospital, yet there are no places that sell alcohol near him. How is this possible? AI: It's possible that the m...

Does anyone think the case will get tossed by the judge?

Does it have to?

Iraq is certainly a black mark against the U.S. Remember though, that a majority of Democrats voted against the war.

People always seem to miss this. I don't know if you'll agree with this sentiment, but I thank God for the existence of the U.S., and it's post-war op...

User: Three blind men are touching a living thing. One blind man feels hair. Another blind man feels feet. A third blind man is told by the thing, "st...

There are five people, Bob, Alice, Sam, Ja'nel, and Trevor. There are five activities that Bob, Alice, Sam, Ja'Nel, and Trevor like to do: cooking, dr...

I love that episode. It's stayed with me all my life. I would give Data human rights.

Thanks for the response. I have to think about it.

If the ultimate nature of matter is mental (i.e., idealism is true), doesn't that blow neuroscience out of the water? Isn't the whole point of neurosc...

A couple thoughts here: I will grant you that there is a prima facia case that a simulated or mechanical brain should be conscious. My question is: ho...

Interesting!

Yeah.

Tell a joke about a con man named donald. AI: Sure, here's a joke for you: Why did Donald the con man buy a paper shredder? Because he wanted to cut d...

Address my question, Nick.

:up:

Obviously this has blown up in the Russian's face. The best they can hope for now is a peace settlement where they take some of Ukraine's land. They w...

I would not. Bernardo uses that analogy a lot.

OK, science geeks, how do we determine whether an AI is conscious? What do we do? What tests do we give it?

Suppose we create a mechanical brain that we believe is functionally equivalent to a normal working brain. For those who think science can explain con...

What did Russia think would happen?

Very informative. I showed it to my wife. She's a Course in Miracles follower. It did remarkably well. She spent a half hour talking to it. She said s...

I was impressed by this: User: Why is the backwards spelled word in the movie "The Shining" important to the story? AI: Ah, I see you're a movie buff!...

That's not a good objection. If this is all a dream, I would still rather skip the dreamed experience of getting run over by a dream car.

I like to periodically remind the quislings here just who it is they're supporting. "Russia claims that these children don’t have parents or guardians...

I'm going by this: "What do solipsists believe? Based on a philosophy of subjective idealism, metaphysical solipsists maintain that the self is the on...

Solipsism means you are the author of your story, not a cold uncaring physical universe. You have the ability to change your reality. It's empowering,...

What, exactly, is matter? Excitations of a field?

That's true. I'm just going by the reporting so far.

I know, but the NY case is not a very good one.

I would rather they gone after him on the Georgia case. This is small-time paperwork stuff.

But under idealism, that deeper reality is some mind(s) that are creating this reality we're experiencing.

How do immaterialists invoke evolution? Doesn't evolution imply physicalism?

Trump is sleazing his way up the polls. Is he shooting his wad too early?

Where do you think I got the inspiration?

I don't know. How do you move up from the numberline? Invent a way.

If the road goes infinitely away from the present moment for the future and past, just do what the mathematicians did with imaginary numbers: Find a w...

If it's built on statistical analysis of past conversations, how does it handle novel situations?
