I have no idea what point you are trying to make.

There are many who could be cited. You might be interested also in Robert Rosen whose anticipatory systems approach stresses this at the biological le...

Yep. All of them by definition. But that misses the point. Which is what evolution was tuning the brain to be able to do as its primary function. Huma...

Thanks for confessing. But don’t you see your problem if your AI reply was suddenly talking sense, and you can’t understand what it was saying either....

If you had a counter argument, you would make it. You don’t. So we get the lame excuses. And your obsession with me continues. :up:

Sure. But then there is mind-like in substantial terms and mind-like in structuralist terms. It is the second that I find to be of value in Peirce’s w...

Which is in a nutshell Peirce’s great achievement. He went back to phenomenology to discover its epistemic structure - its natural logic. And that bec...

Don't forget that the Planck scale was as hot as it was small. As full of quantum momentum uncertainty as it was quantum positional certainty. As ener...

So elsewhere you do try to stack up some sort of causal account. We can use that given you are only going to take the "Vee ask der questions here!!" a...

I've given it way too many times. Do I hear the furious stamping fury of the world's tiniest jackboots? :broken:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

The lag is the reason why athletics rule it a false start if someone even starts to twitch on their blocks within a tenth of a second of the gun going...

So stop being a lazy bugger and define what you mean by consciousness in a way that is relevant to how I treat it. Panpsychism is a brute fact claim r...

You say that what you call consciousness is accounted for by panpsychism – the simpleminded non-theory that matter is mind and mind is matter. They ar...

Why what? You mean why is it worth even getting AI to answer the questions you could ask it yourself directly. Feel free to irritate machine intellige...

Why does your answer now seem so AI-generated? One minute you were going on about information, now you are making a coherent argument. :grin: I plugge...

That is the interesting difference then. Biology evolved an intelligence that is designed to move from moment to moment in the world. It imposes a ser...

:grin: Well no. Biosemiosis would say that only biological systems that model - that stand in some sign relation with their physical reality - are mak...

Enactivism.

So make up your mind whether you agree or disagree with me at this general level. Then if you have some more particular point to make it, then make it...

Again, as I have told you so many times, I’m with Stanley Salthe in reviving natural philosophy as the argument against science’s reductionist turn. T...

So now I’m guilty of not being a dysfunctionalist instead of being guilty of being a functionalist? :sweat: If by strictly philosophical, you mean fre...

You are making no sense. Just ask yourself why you are so hung up on the story of a “picture” in the head. Why does this image of what is going on hav...

Well biosemiosis has now turned all this from metaphysical speculation into firm science. What is woven into the initial conditions of the physical wo...

Why not check your terms before trotting out the nonsense. AI as the impartial observer says… So with less effort than it takes for you to make one of...

I would say it is more like the state of expectancy and visual or auditory priming that it is. It takes about half a second to build up into something...

There is wide variety in individuals from those who claim no imagery at all to those who claim photographic strength. AI says: So as I have argued, th...

I guess all science must bow to your greater expertise. :up:

I meant to comment on the supposed limits of human working memory. But now that I have mentioned how the brain is as much about forgetting and ignorin...

It took me many months to figure it out myself. Helped by Andreas Mavromatis‘s book, Hypnogogia, as a collection of phenomenological accounts. In recu...

Of equally succinctly, memory generates it. What is it one “retrieves” from memory? An image. Or as the enactive view of cognition puts it…. So our al...

Sure. But if the clear command is given of not to jeopardise human safety, then this suggests that the LLM is not properly under control. And the issu...

:up:

Check the video I posted. I may be misremembering. But the worry was that the LLMs in fact overrode these explicit priors. I've now sensitised my own ...

Thanks for the pointer. A quick search says he is making the kind of points I've been making. Symbiosis is a great way of putting it. Although with bi...

I realise that. I meant that to the degree global self-centred goals might emerge from the training data, Hinton's concern seems just one that might b...

This argument is a legit concern. That would be a loop of thought baked into their training data. But what about being depressed and suicidal on the s...

I would suggest that the limitations of LLMs could be the feature and not the bug that helps ensure AI alignment. On the memory point, human neurobiol...

Your arguments are just too piss weak to bother with. Do you make them because you truly believe them, or just to amuse?

If the gold is there, they can find it no problem. But also, the gold holds no interest to them. Nor is its finding even remembered let alone acted up...

So then… But now… So probably not… When you can articulate your argument in stable fashion, we might start getting somewhere. In the meantime, I would...

Hah. All the stuff I was focused on 30 years ago and which LLMs have brought back to the fore again. :up:

That is the puzzle. Hand prints are a simple kind of learnt trick. But the cave art seems to be such a jump to skilled realism that learning appears b...

So now we are talking about numeracy rather than literacy? And now you are rejecting the notion of fusion having started your argument with that? You ...

Or as I would put it from the systems science point of view, constraints produce the degrees of freedom. What the laws of nature don’t forbid are the ...

It was in quotes for a reason. One could say a river snakes its way across the plain in winding loops that seem at first puzzlingly elaborate and unne...

Guthrie emphasises the visceral reality of cave art. What is commonly pictured is the moment of the kill. The spears hitting their target. The froth a...

If even ordinary matter is 5% of the Cosmic deal - already a negentropic round-up error - then no. Life could only ever make the most infinitesimal di...

Vygotsky offers another whole slant on the hypothesis you are trying to stack up…. https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/education/articles/10.3389/fed...

I see that you are ignoring the distinction between icons and codes then. The icons are what assure me that proper speech existed by 40,000 years ago....
