minus-squareAppleTea@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up2·20 days agoI mean, sure consciousness is (probably) a physical process, so like any other process we should be able to replicate it with some sort of machine. …but I really really really doubt that machine is going to be a plain old Turing machine.
minus-squaremindbleach@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·20 days agoEvery machine is a plain old Turing machine. Even quantum computing is just a shortcut for a subset of hideous obscure proofs. They aren’t doing different math. Special pleading is a fallacy… except when I do it, that’s different.

The meat does the thinking.
