Hello, sorry to bother you anons but if any of you could tell me if this is genuine and coherent I would appreciate it
"There is a quantum element to consciousness. This becomes evident if you have a passing interest in quantum mechanics and mathematics. The equations of schrodinger and the observer are viewed from the wrong paradigm, what is the mystical observer who's eye makes the cat dead or alive? That is where you find consciousness. The works of Lemaitre mathematically as well as the wonderful Dr. Penrose gave me real understanding, In Platos cave the shadows watching the observer and what give it consciousness. "
The context is sentience in AI. I don't have a math and STEM background and can't even begin to tell if that is bullshit or not so am asking you anons?

I like Pearce and think he's a good thinker, but I think people like Schmidhuber are ultimately probably right.

Any thing that can measure, i.e. interact, with a given phenomena.

If I tell you will you stop spamming this shit?
Do you want the real answer or the science woo answer?
Science woo: go read Penrose and jerk off to binaural quantum sissy hypnosis beats
Real answer: neural activity is too large and warm to be effected by quantum phenomenon. This isn't even debatable. Even pretending that some non-negligible quantum effect bubbled up into reality in an appropriate location and time to change neural activity, it would be random noise and completely meaningless.
"Sentience" is a suitcase word.

Because its a 'scientific' way which opens a possibility where they are not failures. Basically instead of trying to improve themselves they are looking for a Deus Ex Machina while rejecting God and Quantoom fits the bill

Hm, so it's just 4chan's tendency of disliking anyone who dares to take themselves or their efforts seriously? I got the impression there was more to it. But maybe that is all that is required.

/sci/ doesn't hate it. The topics discussed on them literally engender dozens of threads a week here. It's just that certain schizos really hate on it and are thus loud about it, whereas there isn't really an equally loud pro-lesswrong fanboy schizo base to balance out the cacophony.
