@chaosprime@cultauthor I’m on the side of McLuhan,Korzybski, RAW & this http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn25560-sentient-robots-not-possible-if-you-do-the-maths.html … -
@catvincent@chaosprime Aye. That has the sense of my rejection of it as hollow honey words. -
@cultauthor@catvincent hrm. sounds like special pleading. the idea that neural nets work that way or human memory is lossless is goofy. -
@cultauthor@catvincent like, the first thing you learn upon any investigation of human memory at all is that it barely exists. -
@chaosprime@cultauthor Yep. And easy to rewrite. Lots of folk trying to model brain circuits, but not the neurochem, which is as important -
@catvincent@cultauthor but for the proposition to not be literally true, you'd have to be able to disprove the brain-in-a-jar hypothesis. -
@catvincent@cultauthor it's a restatement of "cogito ergo sum" as much as it's a pastiche of Clarke's Law.
