My and Gabriel Axel's new book "The Consciousness Explosion: A Mindful Human's Guide to the Coming Technological and Experiential Singularity" . -- now available via Bookshop. -- Amazon/Kindle. -- Or free PDF.

Hah . About 17 years ago I knew an old white guy in Beijing who was selling the Chinese gov't a machine called the "Head Brain Instrument" (3 Chinese characters), which zapped your brain with electricity thus 1) increasing your learning rate, 2) making you. more gullible and.

F**king Ozzy . wow ;o ;( . In middle school in NJ in the late 70s / early 80s, Zep was for the normies -- Stairway to Heaven was the theme song at the middle school prom (which I did not attend) whereas Sabbath was hard-core. This was before punk had spread through the.

I pretty much agree w/ Gary's take on this. Seems very impressive to have done this well on Math Olympiad stuff w/o reference to an external math engine, Internet lookups etc. However without knowing more about what tricks were used (or not used) to get the results, it's not.

Super psyched about the new Singularity Finance roadmap !!! . SFI in this next phase will be closely tied to our new "ASI Chain" (the first real actual genuine AI-focused layer 1 blockchain) from ASI Alliance . as human-level AGI and ASI nears, it's super super timely to get.

Gary has this totally right. Neural-symbolic methods are creeping into big tech LLM-system practice step by step. However there is still I think a big difference between 1) an LLM-centric architecture using symbolic methods as a helper, 2) a cognitive architecture using.

Anyone in Seattle area please join us July 15 afternoon for a funky debate on the future of humanity & AGI btw Desdemona Robot and Codey the Mind Child . see event details here.

My thoughts on the "LLM Spiritual Bliss Attractor" and its possible broader implications . in Mindplex Magazine . .

Codey the Mind Child rocking AI Summit in SF . ;).

Fun wide-ranging interview w/ Joe Allen at the SF AI Summit, touching on the geopolitics of the path to Singularity, along with the birth of Sophia, the spirituality of Singularity, and a bunch more. .

Yes this is an accurate take. I would personally say it more like this though -- These models are amazing, wonderful and incredibly useful. But they are not actually reasoning, they can't stretch too far beyond their copious training data, and they cannot be the central hub of.

Some fun speculation, trying to frame a rigorous explanation for why psi phenomena -- while clearly real -- are so elusive, difficult and hard to pin down. ( Hint: it seems to have to do w/ interference btw morphic resonance at multiple scales. When psi gets too ambitious.

Join Humayun, Nicola and me in Paris for Proof of Talk for some in-depth straight talk on the future of AGI and ASI (hint: we're aiming to make it decentralized and beneficial and prospects are looking pretty sweet. ).

Fancy cameras can (reportedly) now see auras, you don't need a Kirlian camera or a special ability anymore ;) . I have here and there had states of mind where I could see them myself.

hey! Join us in Toronto May 15 for an evening of discussion and demonstrations in the direction of decentralized AGI . .

Quantum optics in the brain??! . Headline of the article is a little overstated but still quite interesting. Note: even if the brain does use quantum mechanics in funky ways, this doesn't imply either that 1) QC is needed for HLAGI, nor 2) QC is needed for human-level or.
