I agree, that is a different problem. Interesting. I think that would be something that could be measured in students. A big problem is... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?.I'm not sure of that. Non-human animals that cannot speak have passed the test. So I don't think Helen Keller not being able to...

Welcome to PF. Please do take a moment to read the rules, in particular the part about non-mainstream and personal theories. This, we... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Necessary conditions for the uncertainty principle.This is about the phase space representation of quantum state vectors. There's nothing at all about "prequantization" operators, which...

PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Necessary conditions for the uncertainty principle.Where is this coming from? Do you have a reference?

PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Why aren't photons from a laser considered entangled?.Quite apart from the particular case of a laser, this is wrong. As a counterexample, the electron gun inside a cathode ray tube emits...

PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Why aren't photons from a laser considered entangled?.Wrong. What is emitted by a laser is not a bunch of photons that each have an individual quantum state. The quantum state emitted by a...

PeterDonis replied to the thread High School Interesting paper on QM in Scientific American.But then what is doing the observing? Ultimately, we would like QM to not even have such a divide--to be able to describe everything...

PeterDonis replied to the thread Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?.Yes, she can--she says "I can remember all this". Again, this is subjective. But as I've already pointed out, it was experience, and...

Haha.
Yes, understood/agreed/a fan of Rush. -
Same here. The risks and benefits of the technology are better discussed without these terms, in my opinion. If an AI making financial...
