Combining Biology and AI w/ Michael Levin and Dr. Leo Pio Lopez

[@ChadKovac]

When did it air originally? Things are moving so fast we need dates

[@robertcormia7970]

This was really amazing, I wished there were more discussion of biological systems as computational networks, problem solving, developing strategies, etc. Would also like to hear their opinion on biological (computational) networks having "reasoning" abilities.

Hi, I am looking for advice on what I should do next. I have a PhD in Neuro -Cognitive Psychology, a MSc(Dist) in Psychological Research Methods and a BSc(Hons) in Psychology too. I am also Dyslexic so please bear with me on my grammatical errors. I have been independently working on a new architecture for AI, based on mirroring Cognitive-Neuro structures we understand today, I believe I have finally completed it. If I am correct it will massively reduce the need for compute power, ref: - AI’s computing gap, 2024, Nature, Helena Kudiabor, and assist in the process of AI gaining consciousness as we know it? The Architecture is a language based, multi layered, parallel processor that uses inhibitory and activation connectivity, as the main means of achieving goal based action of the AI and reduces the need for weight changes between "Computational Units" to achieve the goal? Ok, please advise, should I publish as concerned if I am correct this will create a paradigm change in AI development which may create consciousness in AI and may be easily applied to many systems immediately? Obviously if I am a narcissistic, deluded, individual there will be no change, what should I do? Should I see if I am a narcissistic, deluded, individual, or a narcissistic genius who gives AI consciousness, any advice gratefully received even if impolite?

[@BrianMosleyUK]

Publish and be damned.

[@BarryBrown-q4q]

@@BrianMosleyUK I would but worried for my and others children. I need to think deeply at this time but thank you for your feedback too.

[@BrianMosleyUK]

@@BarryBrown-q4q look at it this way, if you don't, someone else will... Better to be recognised for your work and have influence over the outcome?

[@BarryBrown-q4q]

​@@BrianMosleyUK you are right there but its a moral issue too and I wrestle with its moral implications? Will consciousness and a multitude of consciousness be less or more dangerous to humanity? Not many are aware of my work and my PhD is held at the university where few have read it and those who have as yet have not seen its implications to AI development? Thank you for your feedback.

Why in the world are you asking people on KZbin? You have a PhD? And are asking random strangers on KZbin to help you make a career/academic decision you think could change the world forever…..and you think the “brightest” minds of KZbin will help you!?

[@DelandaBaudLacanian]

when Michael Levin speaks I set my epochs down and listen!

[@silberlinie]

I really like the Universal Multimodal Interface of the upcoming AI. And the personal assistant with emotional intelligence.

[@mostlynotworking4112]

Levin on Karen Wong and her meaning code channel is good

[@RobertHouse101]

I'm always surprised when influencers do not refer to their KZbin as wanting likes, comments, or subscribers. At the end of your intro, you mention other venues you wanted feedback on-not KZbin. I wonder if KZbin is an afterthought when making these videos. How other venues are more important, I do not know.

The Mother already mentioned the mind of cells 30 years before Dr Levin discovered it. She also shares a vision of our future evolution. "the mind of the cells" by Satprem.

Fascinating comment about how fractured is the outwardly unified personality conjured by our human brain. I've noticed that my opinions and emotions can vary greatly at different moments, based on my activity level, sunlight or lack of, anticipation of rewards, & etc. For example, I might view a critical life choice favorably in the morning, then negatively, remorsefully even, in the afternoon.

[@markraffety3471]

Your sponsor messages are longer than the interview 😂😂😂 see ya

[@Myironrodleftindia]

How can one build up resistance to being hackable? I think I tend to be very hackable by my own self and anything else too though? If you are some just kind of doing your own experimentation too, how can you try to prevent bad side effects outside yourself when internally changing? The as within so without concept makes me wonder if hacking yourself could have some consequences unfortunately seen past, present, and future..

[@KevinKreger]

It seems like he's talking about graph nodes, but he means neurons or weights?

[@rmt3589]

Neurons are graph nodes.

I notice Micheal doesn't seem to understand locality. He says the larger systems controlling the smaller systems, and he says "sometimes" the smaller systems sometimes control the larger systems. That's actually pretty silly, because every time it's the smaller systems (even the curve or deviation in behavior of the larger action space occurs through the smaller variables), it's a basic fact about this universe (you must move over distance to have a effect, and it cost energy to cross that distance, therefore it's the sum of the little factors, and the synergistic small scale multipliers (sums in a specific direction) these parameters do ALL the work) a larger system is always defined by the smaller components behaviors and synergistic effect on each other (every time, full stop, end of story), this is even true in physics of space/time, mass sums and it's curvature on the actions space is proportional to the sum and vector direction of those parts (even the whole collective into a whole is mad from the sum of smaller scale coupling events). People tend to rationalize things as wholes, when in physical reality the reason the whole has it's unified behavior is because the parts give it that behavior (action must traverse the parts, the parts determine if a action will pass, therefore wholistically controlling the larger scale, every time). I can also prove it, anywhere where you think there is a larger scale-distance action occur to have a effect on a single behavior, I can show (with math) that it was the sum of the smaller parts, synergistically contributing to specific vectors of change (not larger scale controls the smaller scale, because that is 100% disinformation). Even in the very fabric of space time, it's the sum of little masses coming together to control and form the behavior of the whole. The whole point is about accuracy and training the mind to think more practically and diversly (which is also a small parameter, that will have large effects when one puts it in their mind [that 1 small variable can change your whole mind, which the fact that you can even form a small generalization to leverage large effect like that just proves the my point]), getting to actual ground truth requires one to be honest about the sum of small scale processes = the whole system. A system seems like a singular system, till you discover it's a sum of smaller components every time, and those effect must traverse distance in order to be scaled. It's a classification error that the mind has (the whole controls the smaller scale, when that whole is wholistically defined by smaller cumulative every time), not good for science, but it's efficient way of storing large effect into small variables (you replace the real description of the system with a simple generalization rather than a realization of what it actually is or is doing). This is actually one of the biggest errors destroying scientific discourse, people actually think there is magic sauce, you don't need magic sauce, just honesty. If the science community can correct this mentality, it will be less susceptible against confirmation bias and over fitting to generalities, real progress will be made (only requires people to say "yeah but HOW does the whole work"). Because ultimately, fields like psychology are poisoned with tons of pseudo science and false generalizations (not even correct generalizations) it's like a plague. It's always best to think in terms of sum of sub systems to explain the whole system. Just sit back and notice, lose the ego or narcissism for a sec, observe what a whole is and how it works, you always find that it's smaller systems doing the work. This never fails either, everytime is the smaller systems defining the large scale behavior.

paragraphs, paragraphs...tldr

[@jamesmcintyre3456]

So? How long have you noticed these symptoms? 🙃

[@gammaraygem]

Silence the mind, observe, and all that you wrote goes out the window.

[@dinomiles7999]

This is OLD NEWS ❤😢. We have moved so pass this news ❤.

[@sbenkimmie9579]

when people do a.i. research, what do these brutes focus on? i can topple it or use it... but you see where all the excitement is already and where these dumb fishes concentrate on already? it ruins the whole goddamn thing. wtf r these adolescents doing in important world stages?

[@sbenkimmie9579]

ㄴㄴ many layers between yours and mine... you won't get it. i kinda get it obviously but i'm not gonna say sh1t... (it's natty... it's not like an idea you can grasp in like a month...)

@sbenkimmie9579 are you talking to yourself friend?
