That has nothing to do w/ what I wrote. If people stop making computers then the "alien" minds Karpathy & friends keep harping about simply disappear & people end up doing arithmetic manually by hand (which presumably no longer makes it "alien"). AI discourse is incoherent b/c people like Karpathy have a confused ontology & metaphysics & others take whatever they say as gospel.




You've fleshed out your comment considerably since my comment, which directly addressed the little that had been written at that time.

I didn't notice your comment when I was editing but I don't see how your comment addresses the unedited version either. If you believe in platonic ideals then that still does not make mathematics & arithmetic any more alien than assuming inventive contingency.
