There is a limit to everything

2019-11-03 16:59:57 UTC  

Remember hawking was wheel chair bound and couldnt wipe his own ass

2019-11-03 17:00:02 UTC  

negatives are only useful for relative scales

Literally, the entire point of calculus is adding infinite sums

2019-11-03 17:00:12 UTC  

yes

2019-11-03 17:00:18 UTC  

an abstract concept

2019-11-03 17:00:20 UTC  

i.e. infinity(x) = False; infinity(x, ?) = True

2019-11-03 17:00:56 UTC  

with x being the set of input variables in einsteins equations

2019-11-03 17:01:06 UTC  

anyways

2019-11-03 17:01:07 UTC  

all in all

2019-11-03 17:01:11 UTC  

there are terms we aren't including

2019-11-03 17:01:14 UTC  

my argument is that infinities dont exist in nature

2019-11-03 17:01:20 UTC  

Anyways, we were talking about free will and AI. What we term free will is really just a sufficiently complex set of billiard balls

2019-11-03 17:01:22 UTC  

correct

2019-11-03 17:01:37 UTC  
2019-11-03 17:01:43 UTC  

it isn't about free will; it's about determinism

2019-11-03 17:01:47 UTC  

but it is not useful at all to think of it in those terms

2019-11-03 17:01:54 UTC  

one is the foundation to the other

2019-11-03 17:01:59 UTC  

🎱

2019-11-03 17:02:10 UTC  

and i can't see a valid argument for determinism

2019-11-03 17:02:23 UTC  

Like the black hole, it isn't infinite, we just lack the processing power to calculate it. Yet, we also know we're capable of programming deterministic machines to beat even the best humans in certain limited tasks, like Go, and then programming equally deterministic computers to learn from and beat those AIs

2019-11-03 17:02:25 UTC  

Am I a complex set of billiard balls?

2019-11-03 17:02:30 UTC  

What was that quote again?

2019-11-03 17:02:43 UTC  

@Grok, no, you're just a complex of balls

2019-11-03 17:02:53 UTC  

"Human brain is just chemical reactions, nothing special"
"Oh, but how you trust those chemicals to give such a conclusion!"

2019-11-03 17:02:55 UTC  

this is facinating in the way because i can 'see' the model in which you two are processing information

2019-11-03 17:02:58 UTC  

something loosely along those lines

2019-11-03 17:03:00 UTC  

I forgot the quote

2019-11-03 17:03:01 UTC  

MA, from whence derives free will?

2019-11-03 17:03:13 UTC  

again

2019-11-03 17:03:14 UTC  

@Marushia Dark And not know how our AI beats that GO player afterwards...Dumbfounded even the programmers.

2019-11-03 17:03:20 UTC  

free will is a human concept

2019-11-03 17:03:24 UTC  

if no determinism, then free will is axiomatic

2019-11-03 17:03:32 UTC  

this is like trying to use physics to explain biology

2019-11-03 17:03:37 UTC  

wrong tool for the wrong job

2019-11-03 17:03:45 UTC  

metaphysics 'bounds' the epistemology one is willing to consider

2019-11-03 17:04:02 UTC  

MA, just the reverse. Free will implies internal impulse (in the physics sense) absent some stimulus

2019-11-03 17:04:10 UTC  

'free will' assumes a god centric metaphysics that is determinitic

2019-11-03 17:04:10 UTC  

you technically *could* explain biology with physics alone
