  • I can’t tell if this is AI gen, but it looks like something that would be AI gen

    The robot seems to move very jerkily, (although that could be because it’s sped up)

    But this seems like too much magic. There’s no obvious sensors or wheels or motors to make the thing move autonomously


    Edit: also that squeezing motion shouldn’t work to pick up the car. The tire is made of rubber and therefore quite grippy, so the arms would have to rotate themselves (because they can’t slide underneath the rubber)

    As well, there doesn’t appear to be any mechanism on top of the thing to hold the weight of the car. There’s no way those flimsy arms, in a 3rd class lever configuration, are capable of lifting a 1 ton vehicle









  • I’m not aware of any class of problem that humans can solve that we don’t think are solvable by sufficiently large computers.

    That is a really good point…hrmmm

    My conjecture is that some “super Turing” calculation is required for consciousness to arise. But that super Turing calculation might not be necessary for anything else like logic, balance, visual processing, etc

    However, if the brain is capable of something super Turing, I also don’t see why that property wouldn’t translate to super Turing “higher order” brain functions like logic…



  • I don’t think the distinction between “arbitrarily large” memory and “infinitely large” memory here matters

    Also, Turing Completeness is measuring the “class” of problems a computer can solve (eg, the Halting Problem)

    I conjecture that whatever the brain is doing to achieve consciousness is a fundamentally different operation, one that a Turing Complete machine cannot perform, mathematically


    Also also, quantum computers (at least as i understand them, which is, not very well) are still Turing Complete. They just use analog properties of quantum wave functions as computational components
