- 02:32, 18 March 2023 diff hist -324 Singularity →Is the Singularity going to happen?: Not relevant in the context of computing power, which is provably undergoing accelerating change.
- 02:27, 18 March 2023 diff hist -1,371 Singularity →Is the Singularity going to happen?: Unless human brains involve a form of magic, human brain replicas will be executable on future supercomputers. Also, if ever ASI is developed, that would immediately prove the self-iterativeness of intelligence, as a lesser intelligence (us) would have created a greater intelligence. This entire paragraph is bunk.

- 18:00, 21 December 2020 diff hist -18 Mind uploading Not the best example with the book: everyone agrees that a copy of a book is not the same physical object as the original, but not everyone (actually almost no one) agrees that physical composition has anything to do with consciousness.

- 17:04, 21 December 2020 diff hist -1,381 Mind uploading It is absolutely not reasonable to assume that two things which are identical to each other are nonetheless different ─ in fact, it is in violation of Leibniz's Law. Also, how does this "subjective consciousness" hold up over time?
- 16:55, 21 December 2020 diff hist 0 Mind uploading →Philosophical problems
- 16:54, 21 December 2020 diff hist +421 Mind uploading →Philosophical problems: Added an example which demonstrates just how nonsensical the "skeptic" view is.
- 16:40, 21 December 2020 diff hist -8 Mind uploading →Philosophical problems: They take subjectivity into account: both the "original" and the "copy" will subjectively believe they are the "true" continuation of the original.
- 16:34, 21 December 2020 diff hist +19 Mind uploading →Philosophical problems: If consciousness is artificially replicable then the second question is answered. What the question is talking about here is whether consciousness if functionally replicable.
- 16:28, 21 December 2020 diff hist +2 Mind uploading →Philosophical problems: Consciousness != the brain by definition, although one very probably supervenes upon the other.

- 16:22, 21 December 2020 diff hist +1 Singularity If futurism is philosophy then singularity is philosophy. Either both are pseudoscience or both are philosophy.
- 16:16, 21 December 2020 diff hist -47 Singularity →Techno-faith is still faith: Studies show that slightly over 50% of IT-related professionals believe the singularity will happen, while a large minority do not.

- 14:03, 15 December 2020 diff hist -7 Singularity →Why isn't the Singularity going to happen?: Better not to claim certainty about physically possible future events. Doing so is no less techno-faithy than having dogmatic belief in a future singularity.

- 02:50, 15 December 2020 diff hist -49 Singularity →Techno-faith is still faith: Yes, it would be evolution, by definition of the term. It just wouldn't be natural selection.
- 02:48, 15 December 2020 diff hist -381 Singularity →Problem with Intelligence Explosion: The self-improvement argument is that, as an AI specifically trained to build AI-builders improves, the capacity to build AI improves. Thus, the proportionality argument is trivial, and animals are irrelevant.
