Kan een computer ‘denken’ ?

Intro LO: De vraag hierboven en hieronder is interessanter dan die lijkt. Mijn inziens is het antwoord zowel een JA als een NEE, afhankelijk van hoe je denken definieert. Waarschijnlijk heeft psycholoog Daniel Kahneman (1934-2024) daarom een splitsing aangebracht tussen snel en langzaam denken (zie boek). Snel denken is eigenlijk vooral reageren, zowel emotioneel...

”We worden steeds slimmer”

Bovenstaande zin hoorde ik tijdens een radio commercial. Als je naar de diepte (o.a. details, micro) van onze kennis kijkt, dan heeft dat bedrijf gelijk.

Those issues are - ultimately - about competition versus cooperation. Human trust is about known knowns (eg, history, knowledge), known unknowns (ie,...

Sherlock Holmes vs Occam’s razor

Occam's razor is a problem-solving principle that suggests the simplest explanation for a phenomenon is usually the best one. Sherlock Holmes' principle seems (very) different: "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." (Wiki) Both principles rely on statistical probabilities. Quite often, the...
