The sort of low level intentionality I have been discussing provides the subconscious infrastructure for consciousness. And have you interpreted ChatG...

In my experience, people have widely varying concepts in mind when using the word "intentionality" so many may disagree with what I am talking about b...

That was funny, but note ChatGPT simply says ChatGPT does not have intentionality "in the same way that humans do." Which of course any well informed ...

That's was kind of my impression as well.

It looks me like it is happening now, but in bits and pieces. Neuroscience is a toddler by comparison with more fundamental sciences, but it has come ...

I meant beg the question in the sense discussed here, assuming that would be the usage most common on the forum. In any case, what I meant by beg the ...

Has anyone, with two X chromosomes and no Y, spoken up in this thread?

The SEP goes on to say: So do we blame old Franz for creating all of this confusion? :gasp:

Another thought regarding which I'll preface with an exverpt from the SEP entry: Do the outputs of ChatGPT have intentionality? Why or why not?

What are your thoughts on replacing "true" and "false" with "more accurate" and "less accurate"? Throwing away the notions of true or false altogether...

Your request, that I suggest alternative vocabulary, is fair enough. However, I don't consider myself very qualified to offer a very good alternative,...

Sorry about the piecemeal response. I'm at work right now, and addressing things as I have small windows of time. I disagree with your premise above. ...

Assuming you are using "intentionality" as discussed in the SEP, this 3blue1brown video provides a good sketch of how the outputs of a neural network ...

This appears to be begging the question, by presuming that the exercise of reason is something different than information processing occurring in our ...

The problem with using "strategy" in this context is that it suggests that moralistic fast thinking on the part of humans is part of someone's conscio...

I didn't see an answer to my question in there.

:up:

I guess I have a problem with your use of "strategy". Whose strategy is it?

Inasmuch as evolution might be said to have a 'purpose' that purpose is to produce individuals with a high probability of success in passing on their ...

I think your sense of what is an explanation of what is a bit unrealistic. I think the adaptiveness of fast moral thinking (considered within an evolu...

I used to think that it made sense to see people as being somewhere along a one dimensional line from smart to dumb, but that was 36 years ago. Now I ...

What Chomsky is doing with that statement is attempting to foster a recognition in his listeners. It didn't work in your case, but that's just the way...

Cool. So we can consider it a bare assertion when you say:

Lay out your argument and I will point the fallacy out for you.

Sure there is an answer. The hard problem, as you state it, commits a fallacy of composition. (Or fallacy of division, depending on the details.)

I'm looking forward to it. :up:

Bummer, it'd make it easier to communicate some things to you if you had. Yes, Kahneman is quite brilliant, and presents important things to understan...

Are you using "non-intentional" in the sense of intentionality or in a sense related to motivation, or other? If in the sense of intentionality, then ...

Thanks Pantagruel. Getting back to this: I interpret the sentence I bolded to be suggesting that I am proposing a sort of 'physicalism of the gaps'. T...

Any objection to your thread being used as Wayfarer and I have been discussing?

:100: :up:

No, I don't. However, before I go into detail, do you think one of us should start a new OP? Or is there an old thread of yours appropriate to discuss...

:up:

I wouldn't be approaching things from a foundationalist perspective. As an anti-foundationalist I'm fine with settling for, whatever passes for the co...

Damn you! You are not going to allow me to escape having this discussion, are you? :wink: So suppose I said I had such a "sudden noetic insights into ...

I wouldn't say "intellectual intuition" so much as well "trained and tested intuition", though admittedly some might see those as fairly synonymous. H...

Isn't it past your bedtime?

Yeah, I know I haven't taken the time to layout the the way I'm using terms, and it's unsurprising that we are talking past each other to some extent....

I should have pared down what I quoted. My response was intended as allusion to, "not like selling drugs". I got the wife comment.

The article also says... To expand on that, it's a way of saying that visual data is processed in the eye of arthropod to yield a relatively low data ...

What do you mean? This place is full of people pushing all kinds of mind altering stuff.

See here. (Although that may require a subscription. If so, Google is your friend. I used "the evolutionary adaptiveness of consciousness".)

If I may interject a question as someone with only a superficial understanding of Kant... Isn't it a bit of an overstatement to say we know *nothing* ...

Here is the IEP entry.

Yes, blaming reactions are naturally ocurring instinctive emotional reactions that have historically been adaptive for our species and are adaptive st...

:up:

Thanks for the outline. Part of me wants to dive into discussing it further, and another part is saying I should allocate my time better. So I'm going...

Saying this unironically, in the process of posting on the Internet, is hard to fathom from my perspective. Do you think that computers do not deal wi...

Sensory deprivation tanks weren't part of the environment our ancestors were exposed to. There is no reason to think that there is an evolutionary ben...

I'm not claiming it "is as rigorous as what would be required to claim strict determinism", but it is a piece of evidence that I think makes the most ...
