@mentalguy @bascule @gilesgoatboy I think a far more interesting discussion would be: are Asimov's robotic brains themselves "Godelian"?

@bascule@mentalguy@gilesgoatboy My point is, positronic brains are presumably running software. Human brains are not. -
@ReinH@mentalguy@gilesgoatboy and if we used software to produce a model of a human brain, what then? -
@bascule@mentalguy@gilesgoatboy Maybe we'd know whether that *model* was "godelain" :p -
@ReinH@mentalguy@gilesgoatboy we can build extremely accurate models of anything that obeys Newtonian mechanics. Why not brains? -
@bascule@mentalguy@gilesgoatboy Theoretically we might be able to. Practically, probably not. There are > 100 trillion synapses. -
@ReinH@mentalguy@gilesgoatboy "in theory" is all that matters for this discussion... how's that different from a "positronic brain"? -
@bascule@mentalguy@gilesgoatboy the two have completely different designs. The "software" they're both running matters too. -
@ReinH@mentalguy@gilesgoatboy gonna guess a "positronic brain" works a lot like a real one ;) - 7 more replies
