Neuroscience case for AI won't be conscious http://www.rawstory.com/2016/03/a-neuroscientist-explains-why-artificially-intelligent-robots-will-never-have-consciousness-like-humans/ …
@t3dy no? sure reads like every other "we can't even get a handle on consciousness as a concept but we're sure machines can't do it" piece

@chaosprime the argument that a turing machine ain't consciousness [Searle] is a lot different from "we're sure machines can't do it"Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@chaosprime specifically this article reads "there is no reason to believe that it is not solvable by science" -
@t3dy sure, but in the meantime it's going to make statements about how X is not Y without knowing what Y is -
@chaosprime all it seems to be saying is that not knowing what y is, we can't say x is y -
@t3dy except with how from the headline down it's "we can definitely say X is not Y" -
@t3dy like the headline is figuratively literally "neuroscientist explains how the invisible pink unicorn is not a computer" -
@chaosprime figuratively literally? you seem to be conflating "computer" and "machine" -
@t3dy figuratively literally = it is semantically equivalent to that but does not *literally* say that. :) why is the distinction important? -
@t3dy i mean, i'll conflate "machine", "computer", and "human brain", i ain't skeert. not sure why it'd matter if i do - 2 more replies
