A Google DeepMind researcher just published a formal argument that AI cannot be conscious, ever. Not biology, structure. Computation is a description, not a process. A conscious mapmaker has to exist ...
@nprofile1q... Before I read the article, computation is a description of something that is happening. If you reect the notion that the computation on its own has meaning, remember that the computation describes *something real* underneath.

When people say that the universe cmoputes, they don't mean that it manipulates symbols, but that transformation of matter are describable by computation.
