Hey, nice blog/page you got there. Interesting thoughts, although I haven’t gone through all of them. Just a small clarification if I may and if I understood it correctly, the article from the OP discusses the point of free will and how the recent computational machines/algorithms can come closer to what we consider as a thinking machine (or even human). There are many different layers of the psyche that make us human and I agree that we’re not just our conscious thought, but a sum of all the unknown processes running in the background. By allowing an algorithm to have “free will” we’re merely just trying to give more freedom to it so as to ignore certain directives and demonstrate a different behavior, we’re not becoming gods or creating a mind. Just doing baby steps to get there ;-)
