Q. Should lie detectors be admissible evidence of guilt or innocence? A. No! There is no such thing as lie detectors! Why? Because there is certainly no such...
An interesting possibility is that, if all the mechanical aspects of the brain can be duplicated in prosthetics, that a fully monitored society can be...
... We live in different galaxies. ... Define crime. ... God help if the social mob defines what is to be happy. ... ...for the monitored. Think a world...
The AI Mind in Win32Forth free online for robots at http://mentifex.virtualentity.com/mind4th.html has just been updated with a KB-traversal feature that...
... No, don't be sorry. This is exactly the type of scrutiny that makes speculation even better. I lean towards a higher form of consciousness -- hypermind --...
... In such a system how would you even define "crime"? The problem is you say "fully monitored" & "Every thought can be recorded, transmitted, reviewed,...
... No, that's a reasonable concern. If such a thing came about, it would need to happen gradually and start small. There would come a day where you hear that...
Earlier I lamented that the Mars Phoenix lander was not powerful enough to find the creamy nougat center of Mars, and that is indeed lamentable. But it is in...
... Ray, you should realize that the scenario you are describing introduces ambiguity in your use of "managing resources" and "fight about". Are you referring...
... Interesting point. We have a spectrum ranging from no resource scarcity to every type of resource being scarce. I would hold that hypermind is less...
... It is seems to me that you are talking about gray goo. Your hypermind seems to be a lot of brains connecting together to form a big bad brain, where no...
... It would depend on what needs to be shared and what can safely remain hidden. If an overall sense of genuine contentment is all that is needed to know of...
It occurs to me that instead of saying that observers make choices, it suffices to say that they hold utmost opinions. The physicality then evolves to best...
... again :) ... Ankara ... http://myspace.com/malfunct ... I remembered this topic when I read following article published in Scientific American. The article...
Bob: I just had the queerest thought. Alice: Do tell. Bob: I was thinking about the whole problem of AI not being able to experience qualia, when it occurred...
... think ... I am not convinced at all especially for the follow up of the part above. "misperceive and miscalculate probabilities" does not mean that human...

Hi Ray: I think there are many reasons why I really like this message. I will try to do my best to articulate why that is, though it's difficult because of the...
Bob: I think I made an error. Qualia is more in the brain than outside it. Alice: Yeah, that sounds better. After all, people with tinnitus hear noise that is...
... Yes, I admit to that paradox. It's less a theory and more of a position. The only thing in it's favor is that we are experiencing qualia; there is...
... You must consider what you mean by "we are experiencing qualia". The problem with the term "qualia", in my opinion, is that it implies we have similar or...
... Well, since my recent point is that qualia is the observer (in the human case, organized multiple qualia make up the human mind), then the brain is mostly...
Ray: Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it almost seems to me that you have started with a conclusion (the mind can't be duplicated by a computer) and then...
... Replace "conclusion" with "hypothesis" and "model" with "continuing search for experiments" and that's where I'm coming from. One has to start somewhere....
WOW! I applaud your passion! Though I disagree with nearly everything you just said I certainly respect your rights to say it. So, is it fair to say your main...
A long-standing problem this group has had (well, AI in general) is to define what is meant by intelligence. And this discussion is zeroing in on that. A very...
... Hi. That's a pseudo-problem. The real problem is how to build a machine that does stuff you want done - a "machine to grant your every wish". When I was at...
... In my view it's exactly the opposite: the problem is not to "zero in" on a definition: instead we should try to zero it out—because, as I said in The...
... The trouble with that is, if we could think up what we want the machine to do, we have to express this desire in some language so that the machine can be...
