    How AI's success fits into debates about intelligence

    The user describes computationalism as the idea that human cognition obeys the same laws of computation as silicon, but stresses that it remains a conjecture.

    TLDR

    A user argues that AI's success, particularly reasoning models, offers evidence that arguments about general intelligence cannot ignore. They connect the discussion to computationalism—the idea that computational laws constrain human cognition just as they constrain silicon—while acknowledging that humans might have something non-computational at work.

    Aaron Roth@Aarothi.e. that the laws of computation bind human cognition just as much as they bind silicon. This is merely a conjecture --- maybe its not true and we have some non-computational secret sauce. But now making this argument requires ignoring evidence in silico (and in browser tab)23d
    Aran Nayebi@aran_nayebi@Aaroth That the laws of computation bind cognition is not conjecture, but rather it's maximally consistent with the known laws of physics :) More elaboration here, but it's basically because all brain processes are finite and therefore bound by the 2nd law: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/SD9jayFvEctW82Duk/what-capable-agents-must-know-why-ai-consciousness-may-be-an-2#On__Functionalism_23d
    will depue@willdepueto put my kook hat on for a second i think adding any form of recurrent state to your model may make it much more likely to be conscious than it would be otherwise20d
