Ppines-demon reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad Prof Mike Wiest's proposed link between quantum and consciousness with
Like.
I don't think the research program referred to is to use quantum gravity to explain the brain specifically. I think it is to use quantum... -
Ppines-demon replied to the thread Undergrad Prof Mike Wiest's proposed link between quantum and consciousness.Just for sake of everything, I am not equating noncomputablity with nondeterminism, I am saying that quantum computing does not give you...

Ppines-demon replied to the thread Undergrad Prof Mike Wiest's proposed link between quantum and consciousness.This is what I find hand-wavy. It is well know that a classical computer can simulate anything a quantum computer can do (just in more...

It is not impossible that more years (decades?) of AI development will lead to conscious physical systems In which the underlying...

Ppines-demon replied to the thread Undergrad Prof Mike Wiest's proposed link between quantum and consciousness.I can see why searching for quantum phenomena in the brain would be encouraged or at least interesting to look into it. But I cannot...
