[ExI] More thoughts on sentient computers

[Giovanni Santostasi]

*Jason:Perhaps it's not physically possible for biological and physical
minds, but we could imagine it as possible to achieve 100% accuracy in the
case of an uploaded brain or AI, where all environmental inputs can be
controlled.*
It seems there is so much emergent behavior from these systems that it is
not easily explained by the weights of the neural networks that even these
systems, unless they are really trivial, are very difficult to predict with
100 % accuracy.
