Why philosophers should care about computational complexity (2011)
The Chinese Room has been on my mind lately after recently learning about it:<p><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room</a><p>Highly recommend trying to grasp the argument, because in a sense it connects complexity to ‘time to compute’. If it takes a room of robots following simple instructions a billion years to act as an AI that reads Chinese, are those robots a collective intelligence? Can it be scaled up to consciousness?
