This is just processing text in a corpus of training data. As long as chatgpt's training data has at least the same text in it as the training data the humans have taken in, of course it's going to be better able to process it, since its hardware runs roughly 8 to 9 orders of magnitude faster...

I'm not sure this is true. The only information Chatgpt has is its training data, which is just a huge corpus of text. Humans have information coming in from multiple channels, with much, much richer semantic connections to the rest of the world. I'm not sure this is true either. The only way...

If there is scientific research to be referenced, you are welcome to start a new thread in the appropriate forum referencing it. No, this thread was moved to GD because it is not based on whatever scientific literature might exist. It is just different users giving their personal opinions...

I already told you in post #14: there is nothing that can be made of it as far as relativity theory is concerned; there is no invariant that corresponds to "the collapse of B's state". And there is also nothing according to standard QM that can be made of it: if B is not measured, standard QM...

Without some kind of reasonable concrete definition of what you mean by "intelligence", I fail to see how we can even usefully discuss the subject at all.

If we don't know the answer for our brains, I don't see how we could usefully answer the question about computers (whether running chatbot programs or anything else) either.

Moderator's note: Thread moved to General Discussion as it is not based on any actual data or research on specific AI models but is just a general discussion about AI.

I would say that the collapsed state is either ##\ket{+-}## or ##\ket{- +}##, whichever corresponds to the measured results. We don't use the mixture state to predict further measurements; we use whichever of the two kets corresponds to the result that was measured. That's what the collapse...

We can't because it's giving you contradictions. First you assume the collapse takes place at a certain event on B's worldline; then you assume that the collapse takes place at a certain event on A's worldline; and then you conclude that the collapse takes place at a different event on B's...

@Julian_M YouTube videos are not valid references here. The paper you have cited does not support any of the claims you are making, and you have provided no acceptable references that do. Therefore, this thread is closed.

If there's energy present, it isn't the true vacuum state.

The number of independent components of the Riemann tensor in a general curved spacetime is 20. In spacetimes with symmetries, the number is smaller. If we split the Riemann tensor into the Weyl tensor and the Ricci tensor, each of the latter two has 10 independent components (half of the total...

There is no such thing; it's not a well-defined concept. It's only well-defined between observers that can exchange round-trip light signals and use them to compare the elapsed times on their clocks. You can't exchange round-trip light signals with someone in the past.

The spatial geometry changes with time, yes, but that doesn't produce any time dilation between one point in space and another, because, as you say, it remains spatially homogeneous. That means the geometry changes with time in the same way everywhere in space.

That's because the spatial geometry of the universe (including the Einstein static universe) is homogeneous--it's the same everywhere. So there can't be any time dilation due to it--that would require the geometry to be different in different places. In Schwarzschild spacetime, the geometry is...
