Always great to hear Joscha present. I enjoyed the historical parts at the beginning. Some questionable claims near the end: Most legitimate astrologers do use epistemological methods. They keep records of events and birth charts and study them constantly. That's how they learn not only what the archetypes are really about and how they relate, but why. My studies of numerology and astrology spanned many years of obsessively collecting data from the real world and poring over the relationships, often marveling at both the glaringly obvious and profoundly subtle patterns, as well as the lack of counterfactual noise. Often important looking transits do not appear to correlate with any obvious historical or autobiographical events, but important historical and autobiographical events always seem to correlate to the appropriate looking transits. After that, at around 2:08, it is proposed that God/Creative Spirit discovers how to make light (really contrast) by "getting oscillations out of the neurons in a targeted way and associating the intensity with brightness and the flatness with darkness." This is not a story of how visible qualia was created, but rather a story about how already detected biochemical/electrochemical intensities are *associated* with already existing and detected contrasts of visible qualia. It's an unintentional sleight of hand or bait and switch. The explanatory gap and hard problem are miniaturized so that they can be overlooked.

I simply love the way Yasha ties all modern thinkers together. It is awesome Yasha's intellect. Scarey smart. Not normal. Only those holding aloft the flame shows the path to follow in the dark. I thought in 86 that only large quick data flows could show thought. What needs to happen is to map in a dolphin's brain how it optimizes echo returns into clear pictures of reality objects. This mental train can be made in silicon to represent the neuronal flow from inception to mental picture. Very rapid large scale ai sensors can delimit this flow. Statistically.

Can you please upload or host more of these talks. This is something that actually answers things and is provable under the subset of examples given. Also just like Joscha, I think it is hard for people to subscribe to his hypothesis until you had an absolute clear lucid dream. I never did drugs. I guess that is another way, that is dangerous though. He talks about a game engine because that is what it really looks like. It's my choice of description of my own experience 12 years back

TL;DR -> This video explores the development of artificial intelligence, from the imagery debate in cognitive science in the 1980s to the discovery of the transformer algorithm in 2017. It explains how language can be formalized and how it is related to computation, as well as the Church-Turing thesis, the Game of Life, and the Chomsky Hierarchy. It also discusses how the brain works and how it can be used to create an embedding space, and introduces the Generative Pre-Train Transformer (GPT3) algorithm. Finally, it suggests building a GPT-3 robot that is able to learn and discover itself, and discusses the concept of a "language of thought" which is a universal language.

From the life experience that my dog has had with the Postman, he has in his brain a Biography of the Postman. By the way, his brain also manages a biography of me. When I get home and when he sees me, he perceives that I am in a bad mood, "conveniently" memories are activated in his brain that, forming part of the biography that he has of me, allow him to project eventual future states, and he stays away from me. I usually don't show up in a bad mood, and then he pounces on me and howls with joy. The adult brain manages multiple biographies. Unlike my dog's brain, not all the biographies my brain manages correspond to “material” entities. Indeed, I still have, after many decades, a coherent biography of Little Red Hood. The most relevant biography that my brain administers is the one that is generated in childhood, with the learning of language, and that arises as a consequence of what those around me say about me. Said entity is what we know as the Being, whose action is “conscious action”. If you want to know more details, please let me know.

@@simonmasters3295 Living beings with a brain, based on the information that they “capture” from their relevant material environment through their senses, manage a utilitarian mental representation of their environment. In turn, the interests of the material body are "protected" by an entity that, for practical purposes, "comes alive" in the brain. In the case of humans, we will call the aforementioned entity "the monkey that inhabits us." All this takes place in "an unconscious world", a world that turns out to be made up of Information, information "stored" in memories, memories made up of groups of neurons. The life experience, which takes place in the Present, incorporates new information. The information that is captured through the senses activates memories that previously participated in a previous life experience. Through the mechanism that Pavlov described, an association is established between the Past and an eventual Future. Although the Past, the Present, and an eventual Future are part of the "mental landscape" that the brain manages at all times during wakefulness, the brain does not confuse Past with Present, Past with Future, or Present with Future. The fact of being able to survive in a Present that is constantly changing, moment by moment, is proof of the above. The information that represents what is happening in the relevant material environment generates a utilitarian “mental correlate of the Present”. In practice, the survival of a body that is constituted by Matter takes place in the Present, the only "place" where Matter exists. For 550 million years the brain has been a tool used to deal with what is happening in the Present, until, some two hundred thousand years ago, the language that characterizes us emerged, which led to the incorporation into the "correlative mental of the relevant medium”, objects, things, events, which are not necessarily part of what is happening in the Present in the world of matter. Let me know if you're interested in going deeper into the topic. (I clarify that I write in Spanish and use the Google translator)

One small note on the anecdote about the genesis of the lambda symbol. There is a brief KZbin video in which Dana Scott, who did his PhD under Alonzo Church in 1958, points out that the typesetting story is bogus (“a completely false story”), and asks his students not to spread it any further. The video is called “Dana Scott on lambda notation”, dated 13 May 2016. He also explains where the lambda operator comes from.

"Stack overflow for robots". Yes. The divide by zero "problem" is a feature of projective geometry relating "horizon" infinities to zero -- it has always irritated me that a calculator will spit out the symbol "Undefined" for this problem, when it is the only situation that produces the output. It has been defined, as undefined. So just define it as a new question. I love Joscha's mind.

Yes totally agree. I interpret it differently though which is that in projective geometry infinities are describing an essential equivalence between the two “seemingly” different geometries…like how the 2d plane at infinity is equivalent to a 3d sphere…these two objects are just different perspective of the same underlying universal shape that can’t be described by the language itself.

@haniamritdas4725 10 ай бұрын
@@NightmareCourtPictures I am unfamiliar with the equivalence you mentioned. Is the 3d sphere one of infinite radius, I presume? It reminds me of the assertion that a slice of the relativistic light cone of an observer unfurls the edge of the cone into a 3d representation of the space at that moving point of time. I haven't unpacked the math there either, but I suspect that the object you have said cannot be described by the language itself is a higher-dimensional spinor? A hyperdimensional twistor? Something like that. Sow the wind to grow a whirlwind. But I think if we cannot describe it in the language, then that points to our own lack of understanding rather than a characteristic of the object...
