Why humans can't get rid of their egos ?

Is the mind the same as the body? What is consciousness? Can machines have it?

How does it feel to encounter someone you can't beat? :)
I don't know - I am yet to encounter such a system.

Reminder:
The issue is this: Can you be convinced that you are being outsmarted?

If the answer is "yes" - then you MUST know exactly where your uncertainty lies, no? Tell us then. What evidence would convince you that you are wrong? What is your black swan?
If I was outsmarted then you should already know what evidence to produce. :)

My "meaningless story" is called Bayesian inference. It's the foundation to probability theory and the foundation of science.
It is how scientists test hypotheses.

So lets hear your opinions on how science is "just more conceptual belief" and let us hear your alternatives.
Everything is changing...one never steps into the same river twice. How about that for a tried and tested hypotheses....ooops! there goes another one of my hypotheses like water coloured paint written upon a flowing river. :D

No, not naive, just awake. :shock:

If you were as smart as you claim you are then you shouldn't need me to produce any evidence?

You have already obtained all the evidence that you CAN obtain.
Whatever uncertainty remains is the product of the evidence that you CANNOT obtain.

Thus: All you have to do is to tell us is where your uncertainty lies and what evidence would convince you that YOU have made an error.
The issue is this: Can you be convinced that you are being outsmarted?

If the answer is "yes" - then you MUST know exactly where your uncertainty lies, no? Tell us then. What evidence would convince you that you are wrong? What is your black swan?
Your continual refusal to do so suggests that you can't?

IF it is possible to replicate consciousness into a machine - the only way to do it is to try DO it. Either it will work or it will not work.

Armchair philosophy will not produce an answer.
The idea that you actually believe you can try to do it is just an idea....have you ever thought about that idea and what that idea actually is?

Lets hear it?

Self-driving cars. Not an idea. Actual working machines. Living proof.

All you have to tell us is what would convince you that YOU have made an error.
I'm playing internet mental diagnosis and my conclusions can be shown wrong in lots of ways. I don't care to help you, not even if you use words like "we" and "us".

I can point out an error. You think you are trying to help me.

If you can't figure our where your own uncertainty lies.
If you can't figure out what your own black swan is.
If you can't figure out how to convince yourself that you have made a mistake.

You can't even help yourself. You don't know how not to fool youself.

Self driving cars are programmed to self drive...that does not prove the car has consciousness.

You've been begging me to help you for several comments now. If you're that smart figure it out where they are.

It doesn't disprove that it doesn't have consciousness either.

What measurement would settle the matter for you?

The true mark of a sophist. Insincerity.

Your deflection has not gone unnoticed.

So I'm insincere because I don't tell you what things you may need to do to win at the game you're playing, in case it's possible for you to win.

Maybe you aren't all that good at your game after all? :)

No. You are insincere because you expect me to read your mind, while you have convinced yourself that you can read mine.

You have already lost.

You're the one playing the game, I'm not even taking you seriously. You just can't believe this, which is why you've been beating yourself from the start. Poor NPD-Aspie. :)

Have you ever tried measuring the programmer?
