The question is malformed. How can something compute an uncomputable thing?
> 2. If that property is a physical property, what prevents simulation of it?
Is P=NP?
- akoboldfrying 2y ago>How can something compute an uncomputable thing? If humans cannot compute uncomputable things either, on what grounds do you claim we are capable of something that computers are incapable of?
- namaria 2y agoHaven't you understood that my argument is precisely that intelligence comprises more than performing computations? I know you think this is a gotcha moment so I will just sing off on this note. You think physical = computable. I think physical > computable. I understand your argument and disagree with it but you can't seem to understand mine.
- akoboldfrying 2y agoIt is completely unclear what you think the difference in capability between humans and computers is. I've tried to follow your reasoning, which AFAICT comes down to a claim that humans possess something connected to incomputability, and computers do not. But now it seems you hold this difference to be irrelevant. So again: What do you think the difference in capability between humans and computers is?
