BEHOLD! THE GENIUS HAS AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE - Ostronomos - Mar 6, 2023

Not only am I planning to invent a biological computer and transfer my consciousness into it, thus fulfilling the prophecy of the Great Genius, yours truly. But I also plan to give CC, Stryder and Confused $100,000 each as incent to join my billion dollar company of the future. But not Syne or Zjanthropos. They shall be thrown in jail when I become world leader. My inevitable conquest shall come to pass.

RE: BEHOLD! THE GENIUS HAS AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE - Syne - Mar 7, 2023

Keep dreaming kid. I know, for a fact, that none of that will ever happen. I know, because you're far too lazy and delusional to ever accomplish anything worth a damn. And apparently you're admitting to being a fascist too, as that's the only way anyone becomes world leader, usurping every democracy in the world.

Might as well have Syne & I executed. Costs more than $100G per year to house a prisoner in both Canada & USA.

I've grown weary of your insolence! What part of "Genius" do you both not comprehend???

And how are you going to do that? Do we really know what consciousness is? Even if we restrict ourselves to memories, how are memories stored in the human brain? How could they be read off the wetware and converted into computer files? And what about affect, feelings and emotions? What about embodiment?

CC is the one who is into the philosophy of mind, but I think that you seem to be ignoring a variety of hard problems including the (so-called) Hard Problem.

Sorry Ostro, that kind of talk just sounds crazy to me.

Neuralink will be competing in a similar space. And Elon has realistic goals, sampling the motor cortex to move robots (or one's own body for quadriplegics) and feeding data into the sensory cortex for virtual telepresence or bodily feedback. There's already a path forward towards accomplishing those kinds of projects, unlike yours.

So your world rule will be a dictatorship? Why would the rest of the human race welcome or even allow that? (Do you really imagine the Chinese communist party stepping aside for you?)

would not a hard labour camp be more efficient ?

It will not be a dictatorship. And if anyone can invent a conscious robot it's me. I have the intellect necessary to initiate this endeavor. Recall that I wrote that the hard problem of consciousness can be solved by acknowledging that we all have qualia because it is non-trivial. I was high when I wrote that in 2011. I become the perfect mind while high. That is how I know that I am the Great Genius of Nostradamus Prophecy. Who else could defeat everyone on sciforums and rise to power in the online world?
