If an AI told you it was conscious, how would you know whether to believe it? Check out this interview with Eric Schwitzgebel! https://t.co/GSymPYTvxA

I assembled an amazing panel featuring physicist @DrBlitz @FrictionPhilo and Catholic expert Kevin nontradicath to investigate the miracle of the sun at Fatima. One of the miracles that converted Joe Schmid back to Catholicism. https://t.co/nNCmedk4Ac

@TheNicholasWolf You may be a former atheist, but you're a present liar.

[Friction @FrictionPhilo]

@robkoons I think you're conflating the abstract characterization of AI systems with the concrete systems that realizes them. Even if mathematical entities can't be conscious, it remains a question whether the concrete systems could be.

@tulipvirtues What is it meant to be, then?

[Friction @FrictionPhilo]

@waldenpod For me, it's comparable to flat Earth, or lizard people conspiracies, etc.

[Friction @FrictionPhilo]

@Jesse_Brenneman What "definitions" are those?

[Friction @FrictionPhilo]

@_mexicat @pleometric This is amazing.

[Friction @FrictionPhilo]

@waldenpod @analyticatheism AI just wants to sin

[Friction @FrictionPhilo]

I have written an extensive post covering the Eucharistic miracle of Lanciano. Check it out! https://t.co/Pg8FSDIA2I

[Friction @FrictionPhilo]

@RandalRauser Why even engage him at this point?

[Friction @FrictionPhilo]

@RalphStefanWeir Good. My worry was that the inference from p to ◇p is valid only at worlds that access themselves, which isn't satisfied by metaphysically impossible worlds. Your suggestion directly entails that there are no metaphysically impossible worlds, but that's the claim at issue, no?

[Friction @FrictionPhilo]

@WriterJohnBuck @CapturingChrist ...this is a joke, right?

[Friction @FrictionPhilo]

@realTysonGuess @dannyphiltalk @ThoughtfulSaint @RobertWeidner11 Does it even make sense to ask whether the incarnate Jesus was spatially bound, simpliciter (that is, not in a nature-relative way)? Some things are in space, other things are not. Can we not even /ask/ whether that person was ever among the former?

May not be that much, but made it to 7k subscribers!

@goingawoll I've been investigating the Lanciano miracle, and it's grotesquely unimpressive. But it's true that it takes a lot of work to fairly comprehensively cover something like this.

@MartinusLogicus A and B do not entail a contradiction, and the explanation given is nonsensical.
