Communication

Can you hear me? Do you understand what it is that I'm trying to say? Can you match your operational model of cognition and knowledge against mine through the medium of writing semiotic symbols in chains that you read with your eyes and pattern match against your faculties? When I use the word 'bollocks' in given contexts, can you tell if I'm calling nonsense or talking about anatomy?

It all depends. We think most humans have a modicum of modelling available to them in order to make communication possible, and this seems to be true in some way. However, more than two thousand years of philosophy begs to differ. And here we are.

Time to read some Wittgenstein.

Hyper AI : Sam Harris and his techno-bros on Artificial Intelligence

TL;DR: Don't be seduced by Hollywood bullshit! Engage those critical thinking skills Bias and background Recently someone asked Sam Harris in his " Ask me anything #1 " episode about his latest views on Artificial Intelligence  ( AI for short ), and they weren't all positive. You see, he's lately been invited along to a conference on the matter of threats to human existence, and AI feature very, very high on the list of potential human extinguishers. He lists Elon Musk as his friend and inviter, and within the conference refers to " people close to development of AI " that all agree with the following; AI's will get smarter or more advanced than the human intelligence, will be able to modify and improve their own code, and come to some negative conclusion about us puny humans, whereas the next logical step is, of course, " Exterminate the humans! " I might be paraphrasing. Harris didn't list who these people " close to the ...

The Skeptics guide to Artificial Intelligence

I have been listening regularly for a few years to the Skeptics Guide to the Universe , and I like it a lot. But sometimes you've got an itch than just won't easily scratch away, and this is one of those times. I should note that sent this to the website through their contact form, but I've never been lucky getting anything through (or any response) from doing so several times in the past, which is why I post it here so it doesn't go to waste. I don't actually know if anything goes through there, or I'm ignored, or marked as spam, or they're too busy with my pedestrian requests, could be anything. Normally I wouldn't care, but I wrote this rather lengthy letter about something I care deeply about (and hopefully also can teach someone out there something about the neuance of the topic) and decided to share it. My Skeptics guide to Artificial Intelligence is written with a love for the show. ------------- So. You know how you guys sometimes riff over the ...

Religion

There are no subconscious nor unconscious states of consciousness. There is only one conscious gradient of human categorisation from the state of less to a state of much; thought is an exploration of what is possible with what memories and perceptions and biological physicality you've got available. Awareness of the mental and the physical is an eternal journey from the quantum foam of your brain to the edge of the universe. There are no gates, only focus. Our individual perception is the sensory limit of the universe; from when it hits us, we are alone to ponder its importance. We are given hints by our social nature and through our categorical tools, but in our minds we are completely alone. It is tempting in that space - if loneliness scares you or feels uncomfortable - to create a friend, and so we create a voice, and this voice is a vocal representation of your consciousness, with all the limitations of a voice embedded in it. In this lonely space it is also tempting to create...
