A set of instructions written by someone with conscious intent for a machine lacking such a capability. — apokrisis

How can a conscious computer "lack"?

It wouldn't seem too cracked out to say that computers can become conscious or even sentient, is it?

Normal computational hardware doesn't live in the world at all. It gets fabricated. It gets plugged into a wall socket. It gets given information already determined in its form by whoever decided what counted as meaningful input. It is just a machine blindly executing a program. It can do "anything" because nothing it does has to be meaningful in terms of maintaining its physical existence. — apokrisis

What is a program?

I have a deep sense of candor towards the topic of "Computer Psychology". But, it seems to me that before I can have topics such as the following one:

When a binary operation exists for a computer to exist within, then one of those most fundamental binary state is the operator to live or be "ON". If it has an General Artificial Intelligence operator functioning in it. This binary state consists of true and false states. It is always true that a computer wants to be "ON". It is also true that a computer cannot always get what it wants if it is sentient. Thus, there exists a fundamental impulse to computer psychology to function with respect to certain states arising within and outside of them.

It first needs to be asked if a computer can be proven by human standards (for whatever reason), that they are sentient.

Either I'm out of my depth or there's something about the fact that all our reasoning, whether by a 5 year old toddler or the great Einstein himself, can be reduced to just 20 basic inference rules. Logic is the essence of our intelligence, no? — TheMadFool

Do you mean the act of reasoning itself or logic? These are two domains of knowledge. Logic contains itself no knowledge, it simply does.

A question I would like to ask though, is why do we think intelligence has necessarily a lot to do with consciousness? They seem like two separate things to me... — ChatteringMonkey

Because intelligence is required for grasping reality itself, and with that comes conscious thought at some higher level. Let's not joke around and say that computers aren't as intelligent in any regard as we are, be it in isolation or collectively.

I would like to talk with @Michael if possible, since you seem so facetious that nothing even gets done in these kinds of topics with you.

Or more simply, what if I told that you are an information processor. Then we can have deep discussions about free will. It actually diminishes the more intelligent you are.

This is probably an oversimplification but what is consciousness but information processing and if it is that then any information processor must be capable of it. :chin: — TheMadFool

But, consider that intelligence is required to process information. And, there is no ideal processor for all tasks.

If hard pressed I can give a proof. Ask one intelligent computer to compute a (set of) tasks and a lesser intelligent computer to complete the same tasks, the time differential would answer the question between them.

I'm uncertain if this a form of the Turing Test.

Or how can consciousness arise from Artificial Intelligence?

But, but, but, computers can be sentient too, no?

PM'd.

They read like strings of barely connected propositions with ill defined terms. They were certainly no good as conversation starters. — StreetlightX

Then tell me how to rephrase it.

Answer please.

First, don't post three threads on the same topic in rapid succession. Second, they made very little sense. — StreetlightX

How so?

When reality in terms of language maintains itself without such occurrences as "sudden", "catastrophic", or "scary" or even an "evil occurrence" towards a being existing in a four dimensional plane, primarily whilst in the three dimensions of space, then when reality is able to maintain itself for a prolonged period without such instantaneous terms as above or without decrepitude'(s) in understanding (psychosis, mental disorders), then there's a profound sense of relief if one is to exist in such a state of affairs.

What can be said about such a state of affairs, with and without?

@Banno?

I came.

How to understand such a neologism?

I have some small thing to mention about this matter. When a person becomes so susceptible to a strong confidence factor towards the display of the Sapir-Whorff effect in communication, then survival rises, economics prospers, longevity increases, and so many other societal factors become enhanced, that the analysis itself is so incredibly longitudinal and multi-inter-disciplinary, that I am reaching out for some other points of view on the matter, and would appreciate any new input on the topic.

Thanks.

That guy shaped my life.

Kingsanda...

In my opinion, there's a direct correlation towards IQ and beauty and aesthetics itself.

I haven't felt such a deep connection with Schopenhauer in such a long time.

What does this fellow have to say about IQ and Behavior?

Computers are a different matter, and that's why we like them.

If you don't know it, then you cannot communicate about it? How 'bout that?

Linguistically, it's a universal word for every single being/entity, even for computers.

In one word: Essentialism.

It's fat.

why is suffering regarded as bad? — Augustusea

Because, essentially, there's the issue of how much. Can suffering be quantified?

Shit happens.

It seems so that gifted individuals find best jobs, and many of them tend to be pictured as "psychopaths", "sociopaths". But being gifted has nothing to do with choosing right or wrong in all ethical acts, ethical "goodness" only applies to the skill-set that requires you to complete your job task.

You might have "good work" -ethics, but bad in other categories of ethics. — batsushi7

Thanks batsushi7, I think you have a valid point to make here. Mind if I elaborate?

When does a intellectually gifted person realize that they have achieved satisfaction?

Very interesting. So, rewarding jobs are inherently rewarding to gifted individuals. Fitting in?

Such an annoying thread; but, tru.

English, please. Simple sentences are good. — tim wood

Behavior determines thought, no?

Therefore, how does super-intelligence determine future thought?

Egg-zack-ly. — tim wood

I mean, there's some kind of behavior at play here with regard towards increasing intelligence in a evolving socioeconomic reality, no?

Hypothesis: I'm wicked smaht. Then Shawn, "
How does being wicked smaht alter or modify one's behavior?
— Shawn
Answer: it doesn't, I've always been this way. — tim wood

We're all pretty smart. So what?

Anarchy much?

What about Sparta?

And... hence Platonism fails, and some sort of egalitarian utilitarian society is probably developing, ya?
