Part Three: Human Intelligence | A Thousand Brains by Jeff Hawkins

Can’t wait to read this! Glad to see Jeff putting out a book after following him for some time

What interests me about this new theory of how neocortex works is how can it be applied to understand first and second language acquisition. Because if it could, then it can help us learn languages more efficiently, and also explain why children can learn second language at the level of their native language (automatically) before a certain edge threshold (early childhood), but after that threshold the learning isn't automatic, but a hard conscious process that adults are well aware of.

I read On Intelligence when it came out more than a decade ago and while I am not a scientist I found it fascinating and really well written and accessible. Really looking forward to reading A Thousand Brains. Thank you

Is there any use or interest in temporally reverse engineering the brain's dependency graph of developmental neurobiology?

[@johangodfroid4978]

there is a probablity AI becomes an existantial risk because during its learning it will need a few training (don't explain what) but this learning will gives the property to become dangerous. for this reason we need to have access to its conscious or though and this is possible then this can be solved.

Intelligent system needs to be able to create model of the world, as Jeff pointed out. Current AI is dumb: it is nothing more than a pattern recognizer.

08:50 Can we have the brain transplant to a new donor body rather to a machine?

Genes vs "Knowledge"? It's called "culture", Jeff. Culture.
