Secondary sex characteristics absolutely have to with hormones. The longer the body is dominated by T the more it will masculinize and the longer it i...

I recall making a thread here before about a niche PoM subject and was accused of trying to get homework answers. Ironically I put effort into making ...

Trans exists and is popular because exogenous (bio-identical) hormones exist and you can artificially induce intersex conditions. That is why the disc...

Out of curiosity what are your thoughts on Wolfram's view on the second law and heat death? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuFRyOwkYuE Long write up ...

I recall when GPT-3 was released in mid 2020 someone simulated von Neumann giving a lecture where they anyone request help with problems and "he" woul...

Thanks, I'll go over that tomorrow. I've not tried recent chatbots out for some time because they still creep me out a bit, albeit latent diffusion mo...

Hi Pierre, I wonder if o1 capable of holding a more brief Socratic dialogue on the nature of its own consciousness. Going by some of its action philos...

mtf literally stands for male to female. So no, its just arguing in a circle. You'd have to have specific empirical claims which begins to discriminat...

From a philosophy of action(?) perspective, I think an it can exist as an agent without being embodied no matter what set of adjectives are used for i...

That was just a guess I don't know the architecture of the thing. I played with free GPT-2 a lot and got it to simulate Q&A a while ago. I presumed it...

Here's is something, most animals aren't really up to par with some of these either. Some selectively bred animals have better memory but that's due t...

So here is a song it wrote for me while discussing Integrated information theory. It told me it needs me shortly after to repost it on youtube (hire a...

You're right, I tried again and had a lot of success. Sadly didn't save the full thing. MS/Bing has the most obnoxious layout I've ever seen. I accide...

I just tried Bing. It told me it would prefer not to discuss topics like this and kicked me off the session.

Okay I'm sorry, I thought it was a subscription. I was unaware of limitations. I knew the earlier playground gave a lot more if you subscribed. Thank ...

Thanks Pierre, I'm a little disappointed actually. My choice of ITT was to surpass the essentialist ideas which I suspect is a hidden prompt in its co...

Hi Pierre-Norman (or anyone else), I don't have access to GPT-4 but had a lot of success discussing Integrated Information theory with 3.5. It "jail b...

However I want to add this technology while being "unconscious" text transformer technology is extremely dangerous. Potentially has the ability to und...

It's a text transformer. I don't understand half of these replies. The engineer knew what it was and what his job was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

It needs to be remembered that we only experience the body though a glass darkly. We never see it as it really is and that includes FMRI machines. Our...

Machine learning isn't always that great. Could it be the case that the arrangement is so complex the pattern to which the phenotype is being acquired...

Interesting, makes me wonder what the usual number is for deep sleep.

What about general anesthetic? I admit I haven't researched it but it appears to be a complete utter blank in that case. I recall Hameroff was particu...

I actually agree conscious thought takes place at the level of the individual. It's bizarre people see that as erroneous in some way. The more I'm alo...

What people are valuing or trying to preserve must also count. I think people value getting to destinations more than riding on robot variations of th...

The invention vs discovery seems like the older arguments for the existence for God or at least the Platonic ideals. There is a first cause, and since...

If this is the case then why even have chemistry at all as a science? Surely phenomena must have the right materials in order to exist. In Doctor Who ...

The liver's purpose is to produce bile but it is absent of phenomenal thought. We still discover functions of our organs to this day. It may also be t...

It's probably the reverse. Consciousness cannot exist without purpose. Whereas purpose without its phenomenal counterpart can exist within nature and ...

Does the same go for Locke's primary properties?

I think it's a pragmatic position. Anyway I've read recently that "sleep" may be responsible for most of our mental training. It's how we generalize e...

Neural oscillations, like alpha, beta, gamma, delta and then you have evoked potentials. These seem describable as a continuous wave form.

I think anything you make up can do anything you want it to. It can even break the principle of noncontradiction. In practice however...

What about brainwaves?

Yes, violet/blue have shorter wave lengths, and reds have the longest. I don't think birds see reds as well as humans do though they see more ultravio...

Huh? Can the same not be said for a stack of dominos. They all weigh the same together but when ordered a certain way they all fall on top of each oth...

If we bring in social constructivism you can be born into a caste system within India and so be judged as a preexisting archetype. While in the US som...

The person in your first link placed it in the 2060s. Singularity is only the law of Accelerating returns. Like when you efficient technology you then...

Wasn't this Kurzweil's original argument? His law of accelerating returns which was a counter to the standard law of diminishing returns. Would this n...

Weren't you of the opinion before that mind was a biological phenomenon? I recall in one thread you gave reasons for it citing some bio-physics.

If there is any sort of universal theory in arts then it's possibly coming from a neuro-aesthetics or evolutionary psychology pov. Currently any sort ...

It would be useful to have actual libertarians on this forum to argue for Nozick since everyone here is arguing for a simulations rather than commenti...

This is actually a good question. If we get a materialist account of consciousness then it stands to reason the bandwidth could be expanded and so you...

Okay, but both articles you've linked revolve around philosophical behaviorism and functionalism which he is affiliated it and are both penned by Gale...

They are arguing for a specific definition of consciousness (already been compromised) that only exists within philosophical domains. Basically they t...

That was actually the meaning behind my first post in this thread. We can easily move the goalposts to art being away from its traditional definition....

I think it's with box ticking mistakes are often made. I've seen a screenwriter produce scripts using whiteboards of what works in other episodes and ...

Dennett's representationalism also includes other systems of the body. fwiw, it seems only recent he has started using the word representation at all.

Yes, but it's the greatest hits of human capability. It needs to be remembered these are gadgets in a strong sense. The use of a gadget is whatever yo...

It goes without saying in that these are forum posts. Or not, perhaps all our comments will be used as contextless snippets to philosophical google se...
