Downvoted for saying reality has physical properties? Where else but hackernews? Sorry to disappoint, but all the algorithms of CS, which do anything at all, have devices in them. ie., their critical steps are impure, and cannot be specified mathematically.
There is nothing abstract in the world, everything is concrete. Discrete mathematics is not some divine realm which is where the Mind really occurs, and the Soul is really kept.
No graph traversal algorithm cares, nor will ever. Science is the study of reality, not computer "science". There are no computational "properties". All interesting properties are of objects extended in space, and in time.
The world is physical, as described by physics; not abstract, as describe by mathematics. And so, not computable.
- lanstin 3y agoMy mind has abstractions in it. Are you saying that mental formations are not real, not in the universe?
- InSteady 3y ago>Where else but hackernews? I have seen this sentiment on every single platform I have participated in. Where else? Everywhere that humans go. Find a more appropriate (or at least original) lamentation.
- mannykannot 3y agoThe proposition of artificial intelligence, whether at human-level or not, is that a suitably-programmed computing device (as opposed to an immaterial algorithm) could manifest the properties which we have chosen to call "intelligence" when we observe them in biological agents, and similarly for consciousness. Particularly with your comment "no graph traversal algorithm cares, nor will ever", you appear to be trying to impute that the concept of artificial intelligence is predicated on a category error. If so, then this is a fairly common argument, but is itself predicated on a category error.
