Error correction and how J-Lo's ass disproves God

This video acknowledges the fact that I made an error in interpreting the term "aboutness" in my video "The War on Neuroscience : Part 1":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77XBZHJcoK4

Because of that misunderstanding I failed to address the main point of an argument made by Veritas48 before his channel was hacked and deleted. Links to Veritas's old video will be replaced with the video below:

FatGermanBastard's video "Why I don't believe in God":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQq22_BsoyE

Now that video linked above is no longer available because that bastard has closed his YouTube account.

The real issue is not information, but intentionality. Dan Dennett has already, in my opinion defeated that argument from intentionality, so here is some of his work on the subject.

Intentionality, by Daniel C. Dennett and John Haugeland
http://ase.tufts.edu/cogstud/papers/intentio.htm

Dennett, in 1987, wrote a book called "The Intentional Stance," that is all about this topic. I have not read that book, and I probably never will, but for those of you who are seriously interested it is out there.

Consciousness is a Big Suitcase
A Talk with Marvin Minsky:

On Minsky's MIT homepage:
http://web.media.mit.edu/~minsky/

Look for the 2006 draft version of "The Emotion Machine."

Anyone who cites John Searl is immediately suspect.

Searl is a con-man who travels about soliciting "donations" toward a perpetual motion / anti-gravity device he calls the Searl Effect Generator. He employees a bait and switch using a novel-propulsion toy called an asymmetric capacitor (crude ion drift propulsion) and uses technobabble jargonese and conspiracy theory as an appeal to sympathy... accepting donations for research on his "larger scale machine" which always magically disappears.

@DeathofSpeech

John Searle not John Searl. They are two different people.

The Searle we are talking about is a professor of philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley.

This chinese room argument is the most common of the arguments im referring too.

Another serious problem I see with this is that it seems to be based on a very mistaken notion of how langue works. If referential language is derived from the experience (I am going to assume an extreme primacy of the signified for simplicities sake) then it seems to me extremely obvious that language which is derived from subjective experience will not referrer to that which is derived

@spawktalk "...chinese room argument..."

AI isn't just chatbots! All Searle addresses is cheap chatbots.

The room is more deaf and blind than Helen Keller. With the only qualia going into the room being Chinese characters then the only world it could know is syntax. We are not limited to that - robots are not chatbots. They have camera eyes, microphone ears and often even touch sensors.

[spawktalk]

The most common arguments against the notion of computers being intentional have to do with the seeming presence of syntax but lack of semantics in computers. Computers work via systems of input and outputs via algorithms. There is however no reason that I am aware to suppose that a computers functionality is accompanied by any subjective states, let alone one of aboutness understanding or intention.

@spawktalk "... arguments against the notion of computers being intentional have to do with the seeming presence of syntax but lack of semantics in computers."

Comments like that make me think the only AI and cognitive research you know of is writing chatbots to win the Loebner Prize.

How is that statement relevant to the Blue Brain project:

Is it relevant to AI research with Asimo:

Is it relevant to the mirror/mark test:

I shall do a video on how I am incompatible with J-Lo's ass.

Should my argument be proven sound, the world shall end.

thumbs up if you like Error correction and how J-Lo's ass disproves God

[junior311]

thumbs up for BRANGBROS!

[Tyjohnable]

This was pretty interesting but unfortunately you lost me with all the ass shots even the one's I found to huge and gross just couldn't be ignored LOL.

[thesunshon]

PRETTY CLOSE BUT PRETTY THE SAME!

SMILES FROM THE SUN!LOVE LIGHT !!!!!!!

SHONE

@spawktalk

Yes we can... ;-)

See for example Dr. Gero Mieseböck´s opto-genetic experiments on flies.
