For many it probably has a negative effect on their life and their single vote is unlikely to ever make a difference. Plus people watching the media don’t consume in some objective fashion. Almost everyone just gets stuck in an echo chamber

No I don't think the GP was talking about that, and that's the problem. The hard problem by definition is a frontier that science will never be able to solve. So I can be sure because that's how it's described in the Cha

Funny enough Chalmers thinks a computation can be conscious. I believe he thinks that there are like special laws of computation that give rise to consciousness and that makes it dualism. Makes no sense to me, to me if a simulation of physi

No the hard problem is impossible to solve using science even a billion years in the future. If science can in theory explain consciousness ever then it’s an easy problem.

In the original paper about the hard problem, Chalmers does say all that stuff is explainable by science or the easy problems.

I think you are misunderstanding illusionism and the hard problem. Illusionism does say that there is a conscious experience. So illusionism is convincing to many people who have conscious experiences. The alien would be able to look at the

I have a feeling like the lay person wouldn’t have made a comment, it’s only the people that think they are an expert that wouldn’t have confidently said why this painting is worse. Also experts in an art competition have the award to an ai

It’s perfectly fine to like cheap wine and not like expensive wine. Those that like wine just because they think it’s expensive just have objectively bad taste. So your defence only works for people with objectively bad taste. It’s not some

I feel really sorry for people that find context is key for art. For them often context is more important than the actual art. Lie about the context and their view of art changes completely. I would say these people have objectively bad tas

We know the physics at which the brain operates, a deeper uncomputable foundation theory isn’t going to change that. An analogy is we know if you drop a ball it falls down, knowledge of some deeper quantum gravity theory isn’t going to mean

It’s the opposite, if AI and computations are conscious then that’s a win for functionalism and not panpsychism. Panpsychism is about the physical substrate having a conscious experience. But a LLM can have a completely different substrate

A big issue with Linux has always been the poor battery life management on laptops. So even if a device has a good battery, Linux might not be able to exploit it. Also the drivers for devices has always been an issue for me. Like there are

This isn’t true in the slightest. Lifestyle is more effective and has less side effects. Lifestyle is the first line of treatment, with meds being a later line of action.

What do you mean? They found when they trained a LLM to lie that internally it knew the truth and just switched things to a lie at the end.
