I don't know of any cases of modern AI having been used nefariously. So if that is what you are asking for then no. I can give you an illustrative exc...

What do you see as the distinction between "true AI" and "simulated AI"? My biggest concern about AI, is its ability to acquire knowledge that humans ...

What government are you assuming to be Jabberwock's?

I agree. Do you see a contradiction between what I said and what you said?

I think there is a lot that is interesting about human acts that is independent of whatever moral judgementalness might pass through people's minds.

Let's suppose that when Einstein presented his theories of relativity it was intentional. Why is the defining characteristic of those acts by Einstein...

In that case I assume the following sentence says the same as what you wrote: So the first proposition is a tautology, and I'm not seeing any good rea...

Very well said.

Medical doctors expect properly functioning humans to have the patellar spinal reflex. I blink and snore without intention. There are all sorts of thi...

I'm fine with waiting until I've read more of what you have to say, before deciding that I have something that I want to try to communicate to you.

I didn't mean to suggest that I think neural nets can do things that a Turing machine couldn't do in principle. Remember I was talking about "the way ...

I don't claim any expertise on the thread topic, but is there a reason to think that the 'wisdom of crowds' doesn't merit serious consideration here? ...

:fire: Why no popcorn emoji? Beware the jabberwock my son...

According to wikiquote that statement that you are propagating, as being from Heisenberg, is misattributed.

Good point about the moving target. Furthermore, I'd think propagation of psychological understanding itself contributes to the target moving.

For me at work, it is often a matter of a 'picture' rather than a narrative, and I am trying to bring my mental image of how an electronic gizmo works...

:up:

In case anyone is interested the following link will take you to a forum thread where I make use of evolutionary psychology based thinking: Does being...

Perhaps it is important to mention that what can be learned about human nature from evolutionary psychology is only a portion of a large complex pictu...

:up: I'd likely have said "intuitions" rather than "priors" but there is a lot of overlap at the very least. I don't recall getting such an impression...

How is is it that you learned about these confounding factors? From the "devious" scientists.

So you look deeper and learn about how our closest living relatives live in relatively small cooperative bands in territories bordering on the territo...

Again you are demonstrating that you don't know much about neuroscience. Off the top of my head, the Libet experiment made use of first person report ...

Unless you are able to present some evidence, that animal learning does not supervene on cellular learning it's a bit ludicrous to call it very decept...

What was it you said about being condescending? Yes I read the article and a variety of things have been discussed. Are you trying to gaslight people ...

Would you elaborate on how it is that you think I am equivocating? Perhaps the article, Neuroscience: How to train a neuron will help.

But neuroscience does consider first person perspectives and is learning much about them. You can Google "neuroscience first person perspective" and s...

Dude, it's just a matter of the vocabulary used in discussion of neural networks. It has a fairly specific meaning in that context. You may be closed ...

Science doesn't prove things. In many cases science can provide pretty overwhelming evidence in support of a theory, but that isn't sufficient to cons...

No, it's not science. It's just living in the world and paying attention.

Exactly. Furthermore, it seems worth pointing out that everyone has one, but some are based on looking into the evidence and some aren't. (Not that I ...

I'm not leaving until Saturday, and now I'm done with trip prep for the day. So perhaps I'll get somewhat caught up with responding to you before I go...

I take it seriously, on the basis of looking at a lot of the relevant science. I've also made many empirical observations of my own. I've been testing...

Yeah, just did some pissing of my own. I need to throw my Kindle in the toilet now, and try to break my TPF addiction.

This looks like magical thinking about the LNC to me. Humans aren't binary logic machines.

Something else I want to bring up for consideration, is that issues in communication are not so simple as being a matter of differing sets of intuitio...

That is awesome. I just got the bear spray I ordered last Friday. I'm hoping we get to see grizzlies in the wild. The Lamar Valley in Yellowstone, has...

It's very good. I love the way you are off and running with this. I do plan on responding to your earlier posts in a more in-depth way. However, I spe...

I don't know what you mean by "not appropriate". I take it you are expressing disapproval. However there is a large community of people in AI and neur...

I think you are likely correct to see it as a matter of recognition. I was discussing my ideas on that with Srap here.

I don't know what you had in mind regarding a social explanation for reason, but I do see there being a very strong social explanation for reason, in ...

I expect this to sound like a strange request but... Please see here for an explanation as to why, not knowing you at all, I would find it difficult t...

Hmm. I see it is as revealing that the process is a lot like I think it is. Trained neural nets can have a lot of 'fault tolerance', which is easy to ...

I just bought the book, after looking at the Amazon description. But I've had a lot of time to think about this sort of stuff on my own. I do see some...

Feeling some poetry... From The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran, On Teaching:

Very very insightful, and you are recognizing things that I only recognize as making a lot of intuitive sense, as a result of you having put things in...

I have an atypical perspective on communication and strategies for communicating and I don't know how likely it is that I can convey much understandin...

and I have both been frequent posters on another forum for a long time. So I replied to him: 1) with the assumption that he had relevant background kn...

Right. My point was that there are complicating factors, in translating between an external world scientific reference frame and one's subjective seem...

LOL If you have any particularly edifying examples, I'd be interested in taking a look. (But maybe PM?) I have autistic standards of politesse myself,...
