Quoting Mike Tintner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Tom:A computer is not "disembodied" any more than you are. Silicon, as a
substrate, is fully equivalent to biological neurons in terms of
theoretical problem-solving ability.
You've been fooled by the puppet. It doesn't work without the puppeteer.
And contrary to Eliezer:
"A transhuman is a transhuman mind; anything else is a side issue."
the evidence of billions of years of evolution says that the mind doesn't
work without the body. No body, no mind. No physics, no psychology, no AI.
If it can't move, it can't think. (And I think, thanks in part to mirrror
neurons, that we are now on the verge of finally pinning down why. But
that's another post).
I quite agree.
Don't people like Brooks (MIT), and now Minsky favour embodied AI, contrary to
something like this grey nebulous soup of common disembodied AI stuff that has
been propagated by Moravec et al.
