[FRIAM] Maybe a new hardware approach to deal with AI developments

[Marcus Daniels]

Maybe, but if I could run 40 miles per hour<https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/2015/11/02/mark-wahlberg-six-billion-dollar-man-2017/75047226/>, or began to develop an electric organ, I'm pretty sure I'd start to exercise those capabilities.  And if she could jump 10 feet in the air instead of 4, she'd soon be doing it.   [Hmm, maybe I should get a trampoline?]

Right. But my argument (here... I'm not necessarily convicted to this) is that what she prefers is not *merely* constrained by the extensional parts of her self, but that her self is *defined* and determined by the extensional parts.  I'm willing to admit some wiggle room, e.g. dreaming.  When my cats dream, their whiskers twitch, they chatter, and their claws go in and out.  If they didn't show that behavior, I'd have zero evidence that they dreamed at all.  So, even dreams are defined and determined by their extensions.
