I like that! Excellent point!

Not so keen on the quantum one – although it’s a point I’ve made once or twice, not sure whether here or elsewhere. “Best description” is a bit of a stretch: emergent properties are often more easily, and more productively, analysed at a much higher level of abstraction than the lowest (known…) – as anyone involved in computer programming ought to understand well enough.

Clive, is that a reference to LaMDA and the former Google tech that thinks it is sentient because it is slightly better at ringing than previous efforts?

Not intentionally, but you’re right it could have been.

Sorry about that?
