Hubert L. Dreyfus - Is Consciousness Entirely Physical?

Federico Faggin, one of the fathers of computer processors. tried for years to produce an AI that was somewhat conscious and now he agree : AI and consciousness have nothing in common.

"Nobody has any idea and they should keep quiet until they do" Dr. Dreyfus just added another fan to his fan club, yours truly !

He is on point ! There is NO reason to think that personal inner experience ought to accompany computation however complex.

I love these conversations because all these folks on Robert’s show, including Robert himself, are some of the finest thinkers alive today, some of whom I’ve never heard of cuz I’m not too bright myself; and they all make clearer in these conversations some of the most interesting developments and ideas in the world today. Right now! Very cool. So, thank you all.

consciousness is not a computation . ~ from Emperor 's New Mind ~ by Roger Penrose

So true what he says. It's like turning the ISO value of a camera to 1.0E+09. You may take a picture in near dark conditions, but you only enhance horrible lighting conditions and end up with a horrible picture.

LOL this guy is awesome, "the latest idea, which sounds like sh--eer madness"

Fantastic episode thank you very much

What an enigma time for a dream.

Lack of answers, at least we have the questions
