Legitimacy of proof and evidence (e.g. for a set of cool algorithms concerning AI, more computing power, big data etc), is an empty question to ask, outside a specified theory. It's like some alien questioning whether the rules of soccer on earth are "valid in absolute sense".
Are we after freedom from contradictions? Completeness? Utility function, what are the references, where is the ultimate list? ISTM Gödel's work has more to say about AI and monkey rock throwing theologies than we might be inclined to assume. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
