But we are... the product of code, read by machines, processing input to produce decisions.
How are not information processors ? Do you think computers are not a natural extension of us ?
There is absolutely discussion of life as information processing, for instance Stanislas Dehaene is super interesting but I ve heard conferences in biochemistry explaining why all amino acid would work to code information, but the 4 DNA uses have chemical properties that help persist and clone it better and the like.
- doctor_eval 4y agoSorry, I meant that the article doesn’t talk about life as information processing. Perhaps I should have said, “I’m surprised there wasn’t”. Although I got about ¾ of the way through it so maybe I missed it. But at the time of posting, nothing in these threads either.
