@thomasfuchs @jkbecker @eniko My claim is that the limits of connectionist architectures are not evident, at least to one person who “knows the math.” I can’t prove that a connectionist champ-poker model is possible, but I’d bet on it. And I’d bet that, were such a thing to come out, some would confidently say “There’s no real concept of bluffing in the weights.” They seem to *define* “understanding,” “creativity,” “conception,” as involving qualia. OK, but what’s vocab for zombie-capability?
