I'm thinking using thermodynamic buzzwords to promote Christian values and crackpot theories of consciousness stored in the phosphate bonds of DNA. The clue would be that he references mostly his own work plus an occasional popsci or Wikipedia article.

But the paper isn't even about quantum computing. It's about reinventing Landauer's principle, which he seems unaware. The apparent loss of information that occurs during computation is compensated by the kT ln 2 energy cost of writing a bit of memory, so there is no violation of the second law of thermodynamics. I realize that observers play a critical role in both quantum mechanics and general relativity. Without them, we could not detect particles from waves or measure time and distance. But that doesn't require consciousness. It only requires a device that can store memory, a statistical time-irreversible process in physics models that are otherwise time reversible. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T8eabd59f2f06cc50-Me7ccc217ea7f90ccadd8df32 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
