your throwing was a FACTOR in that cause

2019-11-03 17:13:37 UTC  

ah shit

2019-11-03 17:13:40 UTC  

but not the only factor

2019-11-03 17:14:39 UTC  

for the reason that every integral contains a '+C' you can't ever have all the inputs or factors

2019-11-03 17:14:57 UTC  

@Grok, I don't disagree, my point is that the metric of free will must be proven. Where does it come from? So far as we know, humans are the only thing to exhibit it. In talking about AI, how can we know one has achieved it unless we can answer that about ourselves first? Otherwise, it's just a sufficiently complex machine that we know is deterministic that simply mimics what we commonly call free will. Which begs the question, are we not also just a sufficiently complex machine. Or, as Scott Adams says: a moist robot?

you can't destroy a person, erase their memory, rewind time and then play back and get the same result

2019-11-03 17:15:45 UTC  

So for instance, if you said free will is Gestalt. It's a phenomenon arising as the sum of parts being greater than the whole, I could reasonably accept that we are a sufficiently complex machine that winds up creating it

2019-11-03 17:16:08 UTC  

MA, you could if you could likewise rewind their environment

2019-11-03 17:16:19 UTC  

Is it arrogance to assume we have free will?

2019-11-03 17:16:23 UTC  

kinda

2019-11-03 17:16:23 UTC  

well, in that context it's not a function of free-will that drives intelligence

2019-11-03 17:16:24 UTC  

why cant u do that MA?

2019-11-03 17:16:38 UTC  

MA, that's my point

2019-11-03 17:16:41 UTC  

it's a function of representation

2019-11-03 17:17:01 UTC  

and given ai will use 1 and 0

2019-11-03 17:17:08 UTC  

nothing to worry about

2019-11-03 17:17:08 UTC  

Again though, I feel like free will is not sufficiently defined, which brings us back to earlier segments of the equation.

2019-11-03 17:17:15 UTC  

so you have this magical ability to rewind time , then play it frward .. and its just going to change each time is it?

2019-11-03 17:17:22 UTC  

Humans use 1 and 0 too. Atom exists or doesn't

2019-11-03 17:17:24 UTC  

just because you say so or?

2019-11-03 17:17:32 UTC  

no, entropy

2019-11-03 17:18:11 UTC  

That's a very technical measure, MA. It's like saying I can't make a second lay-up cuz entropy

2019-11-03 17:18:23 UTC  

this follows the "close enough" rule

2019-11-03 17:18:34 UTC  

it's about how energy is conserved

2019-11-03 17:18:48 UTC  

Technically, no two lay-ups are exactly the same, but that doesn't matter for our measurements of scoring

2019-11-03 17:18:52 UTC  

all systems and information had a cost

2019-11-03 17:19:21 UTC  

Yeah this conversation is alright, but I just browned some meat for a bomb ass stew.

2019-11-03 17:19:30 UTC  

Philosophically and physically, I'm not the same person I was a split second ago, but for practical purposes, I am

2019-11-03 17:19:39 UTC  

well, you are talking about the information, the instructions and i am talking about the execution, the result

2019-11-03 17:19:43 UTC  

Very nice Ethan

2019-11-03 17:19:48 UTC  

Thank you.

2019-11-03 17:20:16 UTC  

exactly; you, your ideas and the cells in your body have changed

2019-11-03 17:20:36 UTC  

that change cannot be measured or quanitifed

2019-11-03 17:20:39 UTC  

Gonna make some parsley doughboys after it's done, shit gonna be good.

2019-11-03 17:21:01 UTC  

Thing is, entropy applies to more than just humans. That doesn't mean those things have free will. Billiards don't have free will, yet they're subject to entropy

2019-11-03 17:21:09 UTC  

it's like trying to capture the state of the entire universe and everythingin it in some excel table

2019-11-03 17:21:22 UTC  

then using that as a basis for compaison

2019-11-03 17:21:29 UTC  

you cannot

2019-11-03 17:21:50 UTC  

@Marushia Dark If ones will is not predictable within or by a system, it is free from said system.
