But if you run multiple quasi- or pseudo-random number generators simultaneously you get all different results, is this because at the micro-second level they're not all actually running simultaneously?

100% A.I. is 100% just math, it's the machine being programmed to transform all manner of data, including visuals and video, sounds, and texts, into math, ones and zeroes, so that it can make math models, which generate new content, that didn't go into making the math models.

Declaratory. Saying it doesn't make it so. Bald assertion. Also, a "just so", very convenient explanation. Also, you're captured by your own position so that entertaining the majority report of secular historians isn't even an ontological possibility for you, which obv has very low initial...

But what is meant by "mind"? I for one cannot see any difference between "mind" and "soul", for example, so if you're saying A.I. has no soul, I agree; and I'd further state there is no ontological possibility that A.I. would have a soul either. It couldn't happen by accident, nor by any...

Oh.

Witty. Weighty. Never heard before stumper.

Oh. Ouch. What a zinger. Never heard that one.

Your dumb and grossly incorrect analysis is noted.

Well you should have been following the discussion instead.

Also, while we wait, Catholicism agrees with this, we just believe the Eucharist, the Lord's Supper, is that same sacrifice; it is an eternal sacrifice. iow at the Last Supper, the bread and wine transubstantiated.

Take it up with JR, as he's the one trying to make a point.

I believe what's in the Catechism of the Catholic Church just from rational grounds alone.

In that quote, Chrysostom said that the altar went from being just stone, to being a real altar. Chrysostom believed in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, and that is why he therefore believed the stone altar was really an altar (and an altar means a priest offers sacrifices to deity...

That's it. We are the Body of Christ because we consume His body in the Eucharist. Yes.

Lots of good stuff, obv; the whole post. This part here though is philosophical in nature and not strictly speaking computer science or engineering anymore; and it is contentious within the philosophical literature. A very reasonable definition of intelligence among these professionals, is...

Oh absolutely. You can see right away from my link that ontology would be a category of metaphysics, where metaphysics includes all substances, topics, or themes that do not change, and that do not fall under other philosophical categories like ethics and epistemology. This includes of course...

You said: “ It isn't that complicated. Metaphysical refers to things that do not exist ontologically¹. The earth exists ontologically². Time does not³. The former is physical, the later is metaphysical. The physical refers to the material world and everything that can be observed, measured, and...

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/metaphysics/#WordMetaConcMeta “ ... [Aristotle's] Metaphysics is about things that do not change. In one place, Aristotle identifies the subject-matter of first philosophy as “being as such”, and, in another as “first causes”. ... [but] One might almost say...

So is God physical or metaphysical Clete? I need an answer.

Ontology and metaphysics are synonyms. If time does not exist, it does not exist ontologically or metaphysically. I agree with that, except that the physical is a category of the metaphysical.
