I do not agree with either of your assertions: 1) That 433 qubits does not make a computer and is instead “a half dozen logic gates.” I agree a half dozen logic gates is not a computer. 433 qubits is not comparable in terms of information c

I think it is just a challenge to market the experience. Immersion doesn’t look like immersion from the outside — all you know is you can’t see most of the actor’s face. You also can’t accurately show what the user is experiencing because y

What do you mean we can’t build them? To your second point, we have little to no ability to understand yet what quantum effects may or may not be active in brain/consciousness function. We certainly can’t exclude the possibility.

I think there is a critical balance between education and experience where a person has both sufficient capability and (critically) interest in using it, that enables this sort of thing. Of course it also requires the opportunity to improve

Brakes are also often not necessary to service if you use moderate regeneration to slow the vehicle most of the time. I’ve only had to get tire, windshield wiper, and software changes in 12 years.

It isn’t binary. Naive optimism and over-agency in a natural system seems to primarily function to bring information to the agent at the cost of system performance. If what is here called pessimism results in the down-regulation of human im

While there are certainly outliers, the OP is making a different point, and I’ll see if I can align it with yours. von Neumann was primarily active in mathematics and physics. He published 150 papers. He moved subfields but he did so on tim

Yes that’s essentially my understanding. In many types of information they don’t yet have the keys either, but they can usually observe the function (perhaps several layers removed), and often delete things and view the consequences.
