Maybe no such thing as a soul, but anyway, there’s a non-physical aspect of life for humans that machines can’t have.

Bah. I had this discussion with BigMike and although we disagree re free-will/determinism we both agree that thoughts are material.commonsense wrote: ↑Fri Dec 09, 2022 12:17 amThe “place” where thought exists.
Thoughts couldn't exist without having material physical substance.

If the 'we' word here refers to human beings, then if 'you', human beings, had advanced to 'self-awareness', then, surely, 'you' would be able to answer the question, 'Who am 'I'?' properly AND correctly, correct?Dubious wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 12:32 pm I don't think it improbable for an incipient type of intelligence forming in an entity complex enough to start developing on its own. Complexity can exist in many forms not merely the one we're accustomed to. Requiring aeons, we have advanced to self-awareness.
If no, then what do the word 'self-awareness' even actually mean or refer to, to you, EXACTLY?
But, if yes, then 'Who am 'I', EXACTLY?
Dubious wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 12:32 pm Who's to say that only our substructures of existence are relevant to that happening!

I KNOW that there is an 'aspect' to life that is non-visible, as that 'aspect' can NOT be seen with physical eyes, but I am YET to work out if 'it' is physical or non-physical.commonsense wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 10:25 pmMaybe no such thing as a soul, but anyway, there’s a non-physical aspect of life for humans that machines can’t have.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 9:22 pmAs there is no such thing as a 'soul' (not in a literal, religious idiot sense anyway) then it's a moot point (i.e. irrelevant).attofishpi wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 11:50 am

Re: AI
Well those last two adjectives represent expanding sets of qualities and anything considered real gets called material/physical regardless of its qualities or those it lacks: fields, particles in superposition, massless particles, dark matter, dark energy, phantom dark energy...heck, they all get called physical. The words have no meaning. They just mean, it exists, of that we are in consensus about. And anything found in the future by science will be called physical, until this metaphysical baggage from the old battle with dualist religious people gets set aside. Thales would roll over in his grave if he heard about neutrinos - by the billions coursing through his bones for years after his death - being considered physical, let alone the more exotic things and non-things that now share a category with chairs and stones and river water.attofishpi wrote: ↑Fri Dec 09, 2022 12:24 amBah.

Quantum foam is giggling as we speak.
Virtual particles
In quantum theory, the uncertainty principle allows the vacuum of space to be filled with virtual particle-antiparticle pairs which appear spontaneously and exist for only a short time before, typically, annihilating themselves again. Some of these virtual particles can have negative energy. Their behaviour plays a role in several important phenomena, as described below.

But who and/or what created that 'artificial intelligence', which you call God, and which you SAY and CLAIM here is the 'overarching ultimate controller'?attofishpi wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 11:12 pmWell, let's just say that if "God" is an AI, then it is the overarching ultimate controller of any inner shell system that man in his folly makes.commonsense wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 7:57 pmI don’t understand what you are saying here. What do you mean by blocking?attofishpi wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 1:00 pm So not to worry about the new AI on the block...the old AI learnt about sentience and what pain is, and will block the new AI.
BUT WHY?
It is NOT True and NEVER could be True.
WHY NOT just think of what IS ACTUALLY IRREFUTABLY True, INSTEAD?
And as ANY child would wonder and ponder over, and ask, with 'child-hood logic', Who and/or what has 'eyes' on what the created 'artificial intelligence' you call 'God' here is doing, and which is permitting so-called 'time' on the so-called 'central processing unit' for the alleged and supposed 'execution of these programs', Itself?attofishpi wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 11:12 pm The OS has 'eyes' on what sub-programs are doing, it's permitting time on the CPU for execution of these programs.
But ANY and ALL 'artificial intelligence' HAS TO, OBVIOUSLY, be created from some OTHER 'thing'.attofishpi wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 11:12 pm If these programs are rogue, attempt to access memory blocks (or other resources) without permission, then the program can be terminated.
If God is divine - then this blocking is done from the sub-atomic control that it has - the ultimate control over everything we can perceive as reality.
So, IF some created 'artificial intelligence', called God, is somehow 'divine', then HOW could this even be possible?
And, if this created 'artificial intelligence' has control over OTHER 'things' from the sub-atomic level, that at what level does the 'thing', which created this God 'thing', have control?
Also, SURELY, a 'created artificial intelligence' does NOT have 'ultimate control' over EVERY thing that just 'you', little insignificant 'things' known as 'human beings' perceive as 'reality', correct? Or, are you here suggesting that the 'created artificial intelligence', called 'God' somehow TOOK 'control' OVER the 'thing' or 'things' that created 'it'?
But, if this was true, then the 'thing' or 'things' that created this God 'thing' did NOT terminate the program, when this 'rogue' 'God' called 'artificial intelligence' accessed 'memory blocks' (or other resources) without permission. Which, ultimately, is VERY CONTRADICTORY to what you are SAYING and CLAIMING here.
But, then again, maybe you just BELIEVE that some IMAGINED 'artificial intelligence', which you call God here, was NOT created.
Which would then leave countless human beings to WONDER and PONDER OVER HOW could this even be A POSSIBILITY, let alone AN ACTUALITY?
Okay.
Re: AI
The ABILITY to LEARN, UNDERSTAND, and REASON absolutely ANY and EVERY thing on their VERY OWN, is a non-visible aspect of life, which humans have.

As there is no such thing as a 'soul' (not in a literal, religious idiot sense anyway) then it's a moot point (i.e. irrelevant).
Oh, and by the way, 'this' ABILITY is also KNOWN as 'intelligence' or even as True Intelligence, which, by the way, is VERY, VERY DIFFERENT from that OTHER 'intelligence' KNOWN as 'artificial intelligence'.

I think MOST KNEW that when 'you' wrote 'non-physical' that those words MEAN, or REFER TO, the 'immaterial'. But the question asked for, What is the non-physical, or immaterial, ASPECT of life that humans have?commonsense wrote: ↑Fri Dec 09, 2022 12:02 amI meant the immaterial aspect.attofishpi wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 11:13 pmWhat is the non-physical aspect of life that humans have?commonsense wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 10:25 pm

I think the question was posed, and asked, in relation to the 'aspect' word, more so than the 'non-physical' words. BUT, correct this if I am wrong here "attofishpi".

So, the 'place' WHERE 'thoughts' exists IS physical, and thus material as well.

In what WAY can EITHER of 'you' SEE or TOUCH 'thoughts'?
In what WAY are 'thoughts' 'material' to 'you', "attofishpi"?
And, this PREMISE and BELIEF is based on 'what', EXACTLY?attofishpi wrote: ↑Fri Dec 09, 2022 12:24 am Thoughts couldn't exist without having material physical substance.
Also, if a 'thing' HAD A or ANY 'material physical substance', then that 'thing' would be ABLE to be SEEN and/or TOUCHED, correct?
If no, then WHY?
Are 'you' ABLE TO back up and support this CLAIM of YOURS here "attofishpi" with ANY 'thing' substantial, or better still with ACTUAL PROOF?
If yes, then WILL 'you' provide 'this'?
If no, then WHY NOT?
Furthermore, "commonsense" SAID, 'The 'place' WHERE 'thought' exists', is 'immaterial', and did NOT say that 'thought', itself, was 'immaterial'.
And, if I have ANY 'thing' WRONG here, in regards to ANY 'one' or ANY 'thing' SAID here, then please ANY one feel FREE to correct 'me'.

Yes it is True that 'thoughts', themselves, could NOT exist if there was NOT a 'material physical substance' existing, ALSO.
