Too many social science branches rely on faux-scientific analysis that can masssage data into any shape desired. For every paper about white domination of seminars I am sure you can find one about male domination or capitalist domination or dog owner domination or whoever's silhouette is hanging up there in the ideological shooting gallery.

Just an observation, but it seems to me Mordred and the Baron are not discussing the Physics of a 'Theory of Everything', but rather the mathematical tools needed to 'build' models representing the Physics. IOW, instead of discussing the merits of a 3/12 roof pitch, they are discussing what type of hammer is needed to build it.

First thing to remember is that correlation does not imply causation. Taking that on board look for some factor or factors common to both say the years 1970 to 2020, a convenient half century. You could also try geographic classification by state or region. You could look at age. I expect others will offer more choices.

So-called AI tries to come up with plausible-sounding responses based on language patterns. i.e. it generates fiction. There should be no expectation that it will give a correct answer to any factual inquiry

Yes we had dark green ones at both school and university, which were some kind of flexible rubber material, in a loop on rollers at top and bottom, so one could scroll them up or down. Handy for long mathematical derivations that took up more than could be written on one panel. But you still wrote on them with chalk.

@Ghideon Obviously Prime mechanics wasn't written in 5 days. Worked on it from 2007 to 2023. Another reason if you read my post I absurdly state my position with authority because people in the science community love stealing other people work! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scientific_misconduct_incidents Because of this, scientists and people in academia are crooks, sadly. So let it be known, Prime Mechanics is published, stated and posted. Don't worry, I wrote the theory of everything. There are way more discoveries in gravity alone that is shocking, just re-read my post only, everyone else is pointless and you see I am predicting, claim, stating over 100 things. Light from gravity is 1 out of 💯

Wow.... finally.... brings back memories. You should deserve a star 🌟 Why? I read all the moderators comments and silly lurkers and useless comments here and they still have no clue what a mathematical proof is. My math is 100%, just deadly correct. But it's doesn't matter! As long if the observation evidence prove it and back it up. I published Pime mechanics, March 14 2023, you know saying over the top stuff, gravity created everything, light ech..... 3 weeks later, "physicist discover that gravity created light." ...and I'm like, ..... seriously... what the heck, where's my noble prize. So, now I'm like okay, Prime Mechanics has showcase a appetizer. Let's see 👀 Earliest reports is first week of April. I haven't seen any reports earlier on Google.

It should also noted that the paper uses "whiteness" to refer to a organizational structure whereas race as itself is actually not a factor in the observation (it is only based on the observation of three students). The paper also seems to be in a fairly low impact journal focused on teaching science (rather than a science journal) so it looks to me that that the fuss is disproportionate.

Yes, it is a conjecture, of course. As long as we have not succeeded, we cannot be sure. But as TheVat already said, it is important to keep an open mind. We do not know what belongs to the essential properties of neurons and how they must be connected to generate consciousness. And I also think that @Genady is right, that an 'AGI' must have its own means of observing and moving. TheVat already answered it for me: Deep Learning is modeled after how neurons are working. The output that ChatGPT is not generated by rules implemented by humans. From Genady's linked article: If these simplified models of neurons suffice to replicate our mental capabilities, and can lead to consciousness, is an open question. But the output can definitely surprise the programmers. This is not Eliza, or SHRLDU. In these AI-programs, the rules were explicitly programmed. That is why your examples of your python program, thermostats, elevator software, etc simply are a dishonest comparison. Yep, and you are made of chemicals, that you can buy at the Chemist's. I let ChatGPT write a small bash-script for me. It did it in a nearly human way: the first version was wrong, I wrote what was wrong, and it came with a better version, but still not quite correct. In the end, the 5th version did exactly what I wanted. Yesterday I tried it with an elevator, but it did not succeed. So I think I have to call elevator-repair-man...
