4:47 i was hit by real bad DPDR and this tangent really helps Also, like you, I've always grappled with existential shit since i was a wee lad thanks to a amazing upbringing Thanks for these videos

TURTLE MAN, WHEN WILL THY NEW VIDEO COMETH, PACIENCE HAS RUN OUT, FAST TURTLE MAN FAST

aren't we already in a dystopia

the diet example is pretty good! I couldn't do it, conscious or not.

I loved your content already but this one made me want to propose to you.

Why Mr Anderson... why do you persist? Because I choose to

Simon? AGAIN???!!!!

TURTLE MAN, WHEN WILL THY NEW VIDEO COMETH, PACIENCE HAS RUN OUT, FAST TURTLE MAN FAST

bro I'm not sure anyone realizes how deep that was... that was really inspiring and sometimes when I'm in my bed listening to music tryna sleep I think and worry about how I'll die... But I wont anymore... Thank you for this <3 I'm very inspired by this.

the truth of the life is beyond us we cant grasp it.

Forget the printing press... how many could read? You need to buy out the town cryers....

Your videos never miss. Just ordered a book of yours. What better marketing than making good content.

The epic fail of the reviewer eventually resulted into an epic win, without him we wouldn't see this video. Rule 15: The harder you try, the harder you will fail. Rule 16: If you fail in epic proportions, it may just become a winning failure. Rule 17: Every win fails eventually.

Never heard of an engineer asking a meta physicist to make sure his bride dosent spontaneously stop existing

Wat da phuq ded eye juzt lisin 2

We need another video!!!!

The current Ida of yawning is low oxygen in a confined space, so we kinda do know

Once every few months I'll check in, sometimes there is a treat other tines there is not....either way... I am happy ....I think there for he is...working on KZbin videos

Whenever i loose all meaning in life, i return to the nice puffin

Do you think it's fair to say that the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series contains absurdist ideas? I want to reference it in an essay about Absurdism but I can't find any sources that show the correlation

You are the funest and funiest conent on YT. Off the scale entertainment and enlightenment from a philosophy minor.

Thank you I’ve been coming back to this video for years now and every time it helps me to remember not to worry so much and just enjoy the moment

first time I ever disagreed with an exurb1a video. guess it had to happen eventually

How the shit did you do this. I have been trying to formulate this feeling for months, and you do it with fucking stats? The glory and sadness of being human; the feeling of being alive. I fucking hate you.

It's becoming clear that with all the brain and consciousness theories out there, the proof will be in the pudding. By this I mean, can any particular theory be used to create a human adult level conscious machine. My bet is on the late Gerald Edelman's Extended Theory of Neuronal Group Selection. The lead group in robotics based on this theory is the Neurorobotics Lab at UC at Irvine. Dr. Edelman distinguished between primary consciousness, which came first in evolution, and that humans share with other conscious animals, and higher order consciousness, which came to only humans with the acquisition of language. A machine with only primary consciousness will probably have to come first. What I find special about the TNGS is the Darwin series of automata created at the Neurosciences Institute by Dr. Edelman and his colleagues in the 1990's and 2000's. These machines perform in the real world, not in a restricted simulated world, and display convincing physical behavior indicative of higher psychological functions necessary for consciousness, such as perceptual categorization, memory, and learning. They are based on realistic models of the parts of the biological brain that the theory claims subserve these functions. The extended TNGS allows for the emergence of consciousness based only on further evolutionary development of the brain areas responsible for these functions, in a parsimonious way. No other research I've encountered is anywhere near as convincing. I post because on almost every video and article about the brain and consciousness that I encounter, the attitude seems to be that we still know next to nothing about how the brain and consciousness work; that there's lots of data but no unifying theory. I believe the extended TNGS is that theory. My motivation is to keep that theory in front of the public. And obviously, I consider it the route to a truly conscious machine, primary and higher-order. My advice to people who want to create a conscious machine is to seriously ground themselves in the extended TNGS and the Darwin automata first, and proceed from there, by applying to Jeff Krichmar's lab at UC Irvine, possibly. Dr. Edelman's roadmap to a conscious machine is at arxiv.org/abs/2105.10461

Cant wait to play this with grandma

i am introvert and now... I HATE YOU!

just came back after at least 8 years since i first watched this and realising how much it impacted my life even if I didn't notice it for the longest time. still a great video

Ah a Pandorum story

I cried watching this stupid video. This is definitely up there with "The entire history of the world, i guess"

Great video but two things we overhype emotion etc mainly just chemicals resulting from tribal rank dynamics And how can we prove we are not doing the same as llms or Ai is But great video and I got me to look more into the hard problem of concious cause I don't fully get it 100%

Too much work just to clean my room

Listening to this video on headphones while strolling through the city on a sunny day was the experience I needed

i am soo enjoying this( i think so).

why snake?

Incredible

Cute video but the fermi paradox is really annoying. It's pretty clear we haven't seen any aliens because we're not near anything. We're very small and the universe is very big and it takes a life-killing amount of time to travel to the next nearest solar system.

Humans can never feel safe about things smarter than themselves. Because smarts is the main thing our race considers our unique power in nature. If we are not the smartest, than we are just another animal. We won't relax about AI until genetics steps up and provide us better brains.

The more i studied GPTs, the more i came to realize that "expensive autocomplete" is just an primitive explanation for layman. The truth is, GPTs are _trained_ to predict next word, but it doesn't mean it's the only thing they can do. If they have to understand the complex logic in order to better predict words, they will do it too. GPT2 was taught manually about how to extract meaning from sentences and make logical judgments. But for GPT 3 and 4, what the hell did they learned we have no idea, but it's certainly something even fancier. TL;DR: It's true that you don't need to understand if you just follow complex enough rules; but it's also true that even the simplest tasks may have strong intelligence behind them in order to achieve better performance.

I think consciousness is meant to help create automatic responses. We might be the learning parts of our brain, which will kick in and do it's own thing once we've taught it how to. I learnt to be afraid of spiders from the people around me, I taught myself how to stand by looking at others as a baby, and learnt how to speak and drive and type and everything else consciously *first* before it became automatic. At least that's what I believe

Ned Stark as Leto killed me

But what if eating frozen fries make you happy even knowing that liver and heart will covered in fat lumps? Doesn't happiness counted like that?

"You would not bang a toaster." You got me there. Now a rice cooker on the other hand...

I’d say now is about 10^-43 seconds

My only guideline is that no One should have to suffer because i happen to exist My footprint is tiny and i cherish every step That's all

Shadow work? This video's a shadowchaingang

Still not on the moon.. lol
