... These fine ontological worries also do not seem to matter in the least bit for AI because we don't have any evidence that random atomic events have a...
... So, when you don't have evidence that some hypothetical effect, not confirmed by theory either (remember, no calculations of the sort exist, either), has...
... Well, it's a good thing to not care too much because we can't know such a thing on the scale of the universe. Anything less then the universal scale…...
... There a different shades of meaning to "local" just as there are to "deterministic". No interpretation has full classical locality -- indeed, none should...
... There are things we do know. For instance, we can observe the statistical behavior of matter by experiments like the double-slit experiment with electrons....
... I am not sure I understand this remark. Does not the author of that FAQ know what he is talking about? ... So far no calculations. So nothing to worry...
... know such ... universal ... with it ... I agree. But what do such "experiments like the double-slit experiment with electrons" tell us? More than anything...
... Godel's incompleteness theorem, might have something to do with uncertainty, but I don't know how I could use it to explain the double-slit experiment,...
... I never heard this one before in sixty years of considering intelligence, machine and organic. The only examples we have of intelligence are the...
... There is no room for intelligence (for brains or otherwise) if you ascribe to complete determinism. Any such deterministic universe is on causal-cruse...
... What do you mean here? Why is there no science or intelligence when there is only causality? Do you mean that you just proved computers cannot be...
... There is a whole book on that which I mentioned before. I wrote about two ways how quantum events might play a role in the nested network hierarchy like ...
... Let us see these strong arguments. I like strong arguments, myself. What was the name of the book, I have to look out for reviews. Regards, -- Eray Ozkural...
... There are two deterministic interpretations: Everett's MWI and David Bohm's pilot wave theory. Both are weird to me. Are there any other interpretations? ...
... Both are weird to you. That's surely sufficient reason to discredit them. There can be a variety of "hidden variable" interpretations, if that is the...
... Well, infinite number of universes is "a lot" indeed. ... ? How did you come to this conclusion? What would the AIT say to that? ... I didn't mean this...
