Hans Moravec kicks off a forum, https://www.bostonreview.net/forum/the-ai-we-deserve/, about why the instrumentalist computer science and AI we inherited from DARPA grants isn't the only possible version or the only version we need. Life is not entirely composed of self aiming gun turrets and supp

Interesting. What was your prompt? It's important to remember that Claude and GPT are prone to bullsh¡t. When asked to compare apples to oranges, they will happily and confidently make the comparison even if it's a category error. Leitgeb's footnote might be of use: "This motivation for Ramsif

Thank you Roger. Fascinating read. Moravec has evolved considerably from his *Mind Children *(1990) days when he predicted we would all be "uploaded" to robot bodies by now. The University where I started my teaching career, St. Thomas in St. Paul MN, recently announced a new center https://www

Seems there are good reasons to replace humans. 1) Humans can’t easily travel to new planets due to radiation and hostile environments. 2) Our appetite for energy is vast and our decadence unbounded. A rising standard of living for all humans will accelerate this due to increased demands for f

Supposing that AGI were to occur, I would expect that they/it would make sure humans helped perform the experiments and engineering to create a self-sustaining context. After all, in the thought experiment, it is a superintelligence. Feed them the right info on their X feed to get them riled u

I still feel like there's an assumption of decoupling lying in wait. Humans are biologically enmeshed in the biosphere. Traveling to Mars requires us to "simulate" the biosphere ... like a kind of telemetry injection, artificially provide O2 like Gaia does, recycle waste back into "fresh" produ

This is such an intriguing discussion, but regrettably, I don’t have the time to engage fully. I do, however, want to quickly address Glen's question to me from way back at the start of this thread about my prompt on Ramsey semantics and fuzzy logic. My prompt to ChatGPT was: "Please compare in one
