#SubstrateIndependence is a yet another misleading and misinformed idea invented by #philosophers. As if there could ever be more than one substrate, physics. It's just rehashed #dualism.

"#SubstrateIndependence" in #AI and #philosophy is a faulty concept.

Everything in this universe runs on a single #substrate, #physics. And of that it's in practice just #ElectromagneticField and #electrons.

There are no separate substrates for machine and biological minds, it's all just electrons.

The whole idea is just redressed #dualism.
