Lets not accuse me of setting the bar, too high, Stathis. Just as Neuro-guys explan human consciousness, there is no reason why thet cannot come up with a cause and effect sketch of how Cha4 began to be conscious. If we don't know what, we will soon. UNLESS you hold that consciousness is a Mystery? You may be correct, but until research gets done, lets hold our cards.

At this point, I claim it doesn't and that 3 and 4 are clever Language Machines. To the claim that via magic, a consciousness arises in silicon or gallium arsenide seems a tall order. I have seen no article by any computer scientist, neurobiologist, or physicist, indicating HOW computer consciousness arose? If there is something out there, somebody please present a link to this august mailing-list. There is no process or structure that would satisfy as the secret of consciousness. Suppose we discovered a new neurotransmitter in the brain with exotic physical properties: how would that explain consciousness? Why would silicon or gallium arsenide be so fundamentally different to this neurotransmitter that it obviously couldn’t explain lain consciousness? -- Stathis Papaioannou-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
