A new approach to the theism-scientism divide rooted in a deeper form of atheism.Western philosophy is stuck in an irresolvable conflict between two approaches to the spiritual malaise of our times: either we need more God (the “turn to religion”) or less religion (the New Atheism). In Experiments in Mystical Atheism: Godless Epiphanies from Daoism to Spinoza and Beyond, (University of Chicago Press, 2024) Brook Ziporyn proposes an alternative that avoids both totalizing theomania and atomizing reductionism. What we need, he argues, is a deeper, more thoroughgoing, even religious rejection of God: an affirmative atheism without either a creator to provide meaning or finite creatures in need of it—a mystical atheism.In the legacies of Daoism and Buddhism as well as Spinoza, Nietzsche, and Bataille, Ziporyn discovers a critique of theism that develops into a new, positive sensibility—at once deeply atheist and richly religious. Experiments in Mystical Atheism argues that these “godless epiphanies” hold the key to renewing philosophy today.You can download the supplementary materials here.

Explaining how and why our world works the way it does touches on so many fields of science: biology, chemistry, physics, and, of course, technology. However, according to researcher Blaise Agüera y Arcas, computation should also be part of the understanding of life on all levels – and going back further than one might think. In What Is Life? Evolution as Computation, Agüera y Arcas uses computation as a means of examining the complexities of our own universe. Inspired by the work of quantum mechanics pioneer Erwin Schrödinger, he revisits the question that has showcased the divide between biology and physics: what is life? How can life and all its attendant complexities come to exist in a random universe, governed by simple laws, whose disorder only increases over time? What Is Life? aims to provide surprising answers, reframing core concepts of self-reproduction, complex growth, and symbiotic relationships as inherently computational. Agüera y Arcas draws on decades of theory and existing literature from figures like Alan Turing and John von Neumann, as well as recent endeavors in the field of artificial life. From evolution and symbiogenesis to thermodynamics and climate models, What Is Life? explores computation as a tool beyond raw calculation to understand intricate phenomena. This volume serves as a first installment of an ongoing body of work, with his larger book What Is Intelligence? further developing this perspective on intelligence from simple organisms to brains and from societies to AI. What Is Life? is richly illustrated and studded with examples, recontextualizing computational concepts and applications for a general audience curious about diving deeper into the machinations of our living world. Blaise Agüera y Arcas is a researcher and author focused on artificial intelligence, sociality, evolution, and software development. He is a VP and Fellow at Google, where he is the CTO of Technology & Society and founder of Paradigms of Intelligence (Pi). He is a frequent speaker at TED and has been featured in the Economist and Noēma, and has previously published the books Who Are We Now? and Ubi Sunt. Charles Tonderai Mudede is a Zimbabwean-born cultural critic, urbanist, filmmaker, college lecturer, and writer. He is the Senior Staff writer of the Stranger, a lecturer at Cornish College of the Arts, and has collaborated with the director Robinson Devor on three films, two of which Police Beat and Zoo, premiered at Sundance, and one of which, Zoo, screened at Cannes, and the most recent of which, Suburban Fury, premiered at New York Film Festival. (Police Beat is now part of MOMA's permanent collection.) Mudede, whose essays regularly appear in e-Flux and Tank Magazine, is also the director of Thin Skin (2023).

Hasta este domingo 1 de junio se está celebrando la cuadragésima edición del Festival Madrid en Danza y entre sus estrenos absolutos se encuentra 'Tierras raras', el último montaje de Luz Arcas, Premio Nacional de Danza 2024 y también Premio El Ojo Crítico de Danza 2015. Este es su primer trabajo tras haber recibido el Nacional, y supone una nueva muestra de su lenguaje escénico, que une lo físico, lo político y lo poético.Nuestra compañera Olga ha estado con Nacho Duato, que regresa con su compañía a los escenarios españoles. Tras varias actuaciones previas, su formación llegará a mediados de junio al Teatro Albéniz con un programa mixto que incluye algunas de sus piezas más emblemáticas junto a una nueva coreografía que se presenta por primera vez.Desde una perspectiva científica, Miguel Ángel Delgado nos habla de 'Mirabilis', de Ersilia Vaudo, publicado por Blackie Books. El libro reflexiona sobre la necesidad humana de construir relatos que expliquen el origen del universo, como forma de comprendernos a nosotros mismos y dar sentido a nuestra existencia.También nos trasladamos a Londres, donde hoy arranca la vigésima edición del Flamenco Festival, una cita consolidada que cada año reúne lo mejor del panorama flamenco español en la capital británica. En esta ocasión participan artistas como Manuel Liñán, Farruquito, el Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía o la compañía Estevez/Paños. El festival se inaugura con Sara Baras, con quien ha hablado nuestro corresponsal Guillaume Bontoux.Por último, nos detenemos en la figura de David Bowie a través del objetivo de Masayoshi Sukita, el fotógrafo japonés que documentó durante décadas las múltiples transformaciones del Camaleón del Rock. Barcelona acoge la exposición 'Bowie X Sukita', que recoge los retratos más icónicos de su amistad artística. Nos lo cuenta Agnès Batlle.Escuchar audio

durée : 00:05:35 - "Boléro" de Julián Arcas (1832-1882) - "Julián Arcas a étudié en Angleterre et a développe une carrière de concertiste en Europe. Il est un trait d'union entre la guitare romantique de l'école de Dionisio Aguado et la guitare classique. Il sera le maître de Francisco Tarrega, Juan Parga, Luis de Soria & Carlos Garcia."

Isabel Arcas, Segunda Teniente de Alcalde del Ayto. de Benamargosa, nos habla acerca de la XX Edición de la Fiesta del Campo que celebran este domingo 27 de abril. Una jornada festiva con música, gastronomía y tradición que no puedes perderte.

En la Biblia, hay dos arcas, ambas diseñadas por el propio Dios. Tanto el Arca de la Alianza como el Arca de Noé fueron construidas para proteger, antes de que se perdieran para la Historia. Claves de la inmortalidad La búsqueda de la inmortalidad nos cautiva y desconcierta desde hace miles de años. El Santo Grial, la fuente de la eterna juventud o la piedra filosofal, ¿podrían hacernos vivir eternamente?

El cortometraje ‘La silla', realizado por el alumnado del IES Ramón Arcas Meca, ha obtenido el Primer Premio en la categoría Nuevos Jóvenes del Certamen Cine y Salud de la ciudad de Zaragoza. El premio fue recogido por la actriz Eva Llorach, quien obtuvo el Premio Goya a Mejor Actriz Revelación por la película ‘Quién te cantará' en la 33ª edición.Jesús Martínez, que es el mentor de los alumnos ganadores, nos ha contado como los alumnos del documental han realizado un trabajo 'poniéndose en la piel de una persona con problemas de movilidad, en su silla de ruedas y contar la experiencia a través del ejercicio del cine'; por eso educación y cine se parecen mucho en la divulgación de los valores sociales y humanos.

In this remarkable conversation, Michael Levin (Tufts University) and Blaise Aguera y Arcas (Google) examine what happens when biology and computation collide at their foundations. Their recent papers—arriving simultaneously yet from distinct intellectual traditions—illuminate how simple rules generate complex behaviors that challenge our understanding of life, intelligence, and agency.Michael's "Self-Sorting Algorithm" reveals how minimal computational models demonstrate unexpected problem-solving abilities resembling basal intelligence—where just six lines of deterministic code exhibit dynamic adaptability we typically associate with living systems. Meanwhile, Blaise's "Computational Life" investigates how self-replicating programs emerge spontaneously from random interactions in digital environments, evolving complexity without explicit design or guidance.Their parallel explorations suggest a common thread: information processing underlies both biological and computational systems, forming an endless cycle where information → computation → agency → intelligence → information. This cyclical relationship transcends the traditional boundaries between natural and artificial systems.The conversation unfolds around several interwoven questions:- How does genuine agency emerge from simple rule-following components?- Why might intelligence be more fundamental than life itself?- How do we recognize cognition in systems that operate unlike human intelligence?- What constitutes the difference between patterns and the physical substrates expressing them?- How might symbiosis between humans and synthetic intelligence reshape both?Perhaps most striking is their shared insight that we may already be surrounded by forms of intelligence we're fundamentally blind to—our inherent biases limiting our ability to recognize cognition that doesn't mirror our own. As Michael notes, "We have a lot of mind blindness based on our evolutionary firmware."The timing of their complementary work isn't mere coincidence but reflects a cultural inflection point where our understanding of intelligence is expanding beyond anthropocentric models. Their dialogue offers a conceptual framework for navigating a future where the boundaries between biological and synthetic intelligence continue to dissolve, not as opposing forces but as variations on a universal principle of information processing across different substrates.For anyone interested in the philosophical and practical implications of emergent intelligence—whether in cells, code, or consciousness—this conversation provides intellectual tools for understanding the transformed relationship between humans and technology that lies ahead.------Do you enjoy our conversations like this one?

Artificial intelligence is starting to underpin everything we do, whether we like it or not. And at the highest levels, companies like Google and Open AI are saying their AI is on the verge of crossing a humanlike threshold that we’ve only seen in science fiction. This is prompting all kinds of conversations about sentience and the possible dangers of a superintelligent computer system. But the definition of “Artificial General Intelligence,” or AGI, is controversial. And many researchers aren’t even sure today’s programs have our common understanding of “intelligence” at all. They argue ChatGPT isn’t really thinking -- it's just really good at predicting the next sequence in a pattern (and copying someone else along the way). So what makes something intelligent? Or alive, for that matter? For Google’s Blaise Agüera y Arcas, the most interesting piece of examining AI breakthroughs has been how they connect to the evolution of life on earth. In his new book, What is Life? he argues for a broadened definition of “intelligence,” to include things like single celled organisms and even basic tools. And he says humans’ development of technology -- most recently, AI -- is part of a long history of symbiotic relationships that have pushed our evolution forward. Guests: Blaise Agüera y Arcas, Vice President and CTO of Technology and Society at Google, where he leads a team called “Paradigms of Intelligence” researching the intersection of AI, biology, and philosophy. Author of What is Life, the first part of a broader work on intelligence at large.

La constellation de la Grande Ourse (ou Ursa Major en latin) tire son nom de la mythologie et de l'interprétation des formes dans le ciel par les anciennes civilisations. Origine mythologique du nom :Le nom de la Grande Ourse provient en grande partie de la mythologie grecque. Voici l'un des récits les plus connus associés à cette constellation : 1. Le mythe de Callisto : Selon la mythologie grecque, Callisto était une belle nymphe, servante de la déesse Artémis. Zeus, le roi des dieux, tomba amoureux de Callisto et ils eurent un fils nommé Arcas. Cependant, la femme de Zeus, Héra, jalouse, transforma Callisto en une ourse pour la punir. Des années plus tard, Arcas, devenu chasseur, rencontra par hasard sa mère sous forme d'ourse et, sans la reconnaître, s'apprêtait à la tuer. Zeus intervint pour éviter le drame : il transforma Arcas en un ourson et plaça les deux dans le ciel, formant ainsi les constellations de la Grande Ourse (Callisto) et de la Petite Ourse (Arcas). 2. Autres versions et légendes : La forme de la Grande Ourse a également été associée à des ours dans d'autres cultures anciennes, comme les Amérindiens, les Celtes et les peuples nordiques. Bien que la légende grecque soit la plus célèbre en Europe, la figure d'un grand ours traversant le ciel est universelle dans de nombreuses mythologies. Origine de la forme :La forme de la Grande Ourse dans le ciel est facilement identifiable à cause de son ensemble d'étoiles brillantes, qui dessinent une sorte de "chariot" ou de "casserole". Le nom "Ourse" (ours) n'est pas forcément lié à une ressemblance directe avec un ours, mais davantage à l'interprétation culturelle de la forme de la constellation, inspirée par ces mythes. Autres noms dans différentes cultures :- "La Casserole" en France et dans d'autres cultures, en raison de la forme évidente de l'astérisme principal (qui fait partie de la Grande Ourse).- Les Amérindiens voyaient également une forme d'ours, mais avec des interprétations différentes concernant les étoiles environnantes, qui représentaient souvent des chasseurs poursuivant l'animal. En résumé, la Grande Ourse s'appelle ainsi en raison des récits mythologiques, notamment grecs, qui associaient cette forme dans le ciel à l'histoire d'une ourse placée parmi les étoiles par les dieux.

Understanding how life began on Earth involves questions of chemistry, geology, planetary science, physics, and more. But the question of how random processes lead to organized, self-replicating, information-bearing systems is a more general one. That question can be addressed in an idealized world of computer code, initialized with random sequences and left to run. Starting with many such random systems, and allowing them to mutate and interact, will we end up with "lifelike," self-replicating programs? A new paper by Blaise Agüera y Arcas and collaborators suggests that the answer is yes. This raises interesting questions about whether computation is an attractor in the space of relevant dynamical processes, with implications for the origin and ubiquity of life.Support Mindscape on Patreon.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2024/08/19/286-blaise-aguera-y-arcas-on-the-emergence-of-replication-and-computation/Blaise Agüera y Arcas received a B.A. in physics from Princeton University.

Sabemos mucho acerca de la Roma clásica. Sus cronistas, sus historiadores y sus literatos nos han transmitido ingentes datos que permiten reconstruir las facetas más íntimas de su vida. Pero entre ese torrente de información hay aspectos que siempre permanecieron oscuros, y uno de ellos fue el del manejo de la administración financiera del Imperio. Los romanos tuvieron que aprender a administrarse a marchas forzadas. Pasaron de una economía agrícola y tribal a controlar la riqueza generada en los seis millones de kilómetros cuadrados –12 veces la superficie de España– que llegaron a dominar en el Imperio. Tenían que organizar cosechas, minas, ganado, transacciones comerciales, transporte de mercancías y un sinfín de asuntos. Por supuesto, eso requería una estructura fiscal compleja. Y, además, estaban los gastos militares, un auténtico sumidero para las finanzas imperiales. Escucha la historia completa en el podcast.

Support the show to get full episodes and join the Discord community. Recently I was invited to moderate a panel at the annual Computational and Systems Neuroscience, or COSYNE, conference. This year was the 20th anniversary of COSYNE, and we were in Lisbon Porturgal. The panel goal was to discuss the relationship between neuroscience and AI. The panelists were Tony Zador, Alex Pouget, Blaise Aguera y Arcas, Kim Stachenfeld, Jonathan Pillow, and Eva Dyer. And I'll let them introduce themselves soon. Two of the panelists, Tony and Alex, co-founded COSYNE those 20 years ago, and they continue to have different views about the neuro-AI relationship. Tony has been on the podcast before and will return soon, and I'll also have Kim Stachenfeld on in a couple episodes. I think this was a fun discussion, and I hope you enjoy it. There's plenty of back and forth, a wide range of opinions, and some criticism from one of the audience questioners. This is an edited audio version, to remove long dead space and such. There's about 30 minutes of just panel, then the panel starts fielding questions from the audience. COSYNE.

Three expert guests discuss the implications of AI and the fine arts in a conversation moderated by Steve Scher.  Scientist and founder of the Artists and Machine Intelligence program at Google, Blaise Agüera y Arcas, will offer his “news from the front” about the latest developments in AI capabilities, and what he foresees ahead.  Alex Alben, technology executive, author, and law professor, will review the implications of AI to the artist from the point of view of intellectual property: is anything on the internet up for grabs, or is compensation for image “borrowing” a possibility? Finally, painter Jason Puccinelli, who uses AI as one of his tools in image creation, will talk about what he finds exciting and useful, and what he finds problematic, about this new resource. Presented by Town Hall Seattle and Gage Academy of Art.

Google researcher Blaise Agüera y Arcas spends his work days developing artificial intelligence models and his free time conducting surveys for fun. He tells Steve how he designed an algorithm for the U.S. Navy at 14, how he discovered the truth about printing-press pioneer Johannes Gutenberg, and when A.I. first blew his mind. SOURCE:Blaise Agüera y Arcas, fellow at Google Research. RESOURCES:Who Are We Now?, by Blaise Agüera y Arcas (2023)."Artificial General Intelligence Is Already Here," by Blaise Agüera y Arcas and Peter Norvig (Noema Magazine, 2023)."Transformer: A Novel Neural Network Architecture for Language Understanding," by Jakob Uszkoreit (Google Research Blog, 2017)."Communication-Efficient Learning of Deep Networks from Decentralized Data," by H.

Benjamin Bratton writes about world-spanning intelligences, grinding geopolitical tectonics, “accidental megastructures” of geotechnical cruft, the millienia-long terraforming project through which humans rendered an earth into a world, and the question of what global-scale order means in the twilight of the Westphalian nation-state.Candidly, if either of us were to recommend a book to help you understand the present state of ‘politics' or ‘technology', we'd probably start with Bratton's The Stack — written 10 years ago, but still very much descriptive of our world and illuminative of its futures.If the first 10 minutes are too “tech industry” for you — just skip ahead. The whole conversation is seriously fire, and it spikes hit after hit of takes on privacy, bias, alignment, subjectivity, the primacy of the individual … all almost entirely unrepresented within the Discourse.Some references:We briefly talk about EdgeML, which essentially means the execution of ML models on small computers installed in a field location.Benjamin mentions his collaboration with renowned computer scientist and thinker Blaise Agüera y Arcas, whose work on federated learning is relevant to this stage of the conversation. Federated learning involves a distributed training approach in which a model is updated by field components who only transmit changes to a model therefore retaining the security of local training sets to their own environments only. Also - here's a link to their collaboration on “The Model is the Message."Benjamin calls himself a bit of an “eliminative materialist” “in the Churchland mode,” meaning someone who believes that “folk psychologies” or “folk ontologies” (theories of how the mind works from metaphysics, psychoanalysis, or generalized psychology) will be replaced by frameworks from cognitive science or neuroscience.Benjamin calls out a collaboration with Chen Quifan. Check out Waste Tide — it's excellent sci-fi.The collaboration with Anna Greenspan and Bogna Konior discussed in the pod is called “Machine Decision is Not Final” out on Urbanomic.Shoshana Zuboff is a theorist who coined the term “surveillance capitalism,” referring to capital accumulation through a process of ‘dispossession by surveillance.' The implicit critique of “surveillance capitalism” in this episode hinges on its overemphasis on individual sovereignty.“Tay” was the infamous AI Twitter Chatbot Microsoft rolled out for 16 hours before pulling back for its controversial content.Antihumanism refers to a rejection of the ontological primacy and universalization of the human afforded to it through the philosophical stance of “humanism.” An “antihumanist" is someone who challenges the stability of the concept of the “human” or at very least its salience in cosmic affairs.Check out Benjamin's new piece on Tank Mag (Tank.tv), it's fire.

A very special and very published guest joins Mory and Melissa today: Blaise Agüera y Arcas, CTO of Tech and Society at Google and author of the book Who Are We Now?. Mory and Melissa pepper Blaise with questions about his approach to his book (well, or Mory asks, while Melissa gapes open-mouthedly). The breadth of material under Blaise's belt is nothing short of impressive: from the demographic divide between urban and rural, to monogamy as a form of social control, to human symbiosis with artificial intelligence. Combining graphs upon graphs with a compelling narrative, Blaise gives insight into the process of creating Who Are We Now? and its attempt to answer the questions: What makes human identity? And what drives us apart?Buy Who Are We Now? here: https://hatandbeard.com/products/who-are-we-now-by-blaise-aguera-y-arcasAvailable for free here: https://whoarewenow.net/Find Blaise on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/blaiseaguera?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5EauthorTo submit questions for future episodes: https://forms.gle/ZhSKGveWox33GvFq6Follow Signal on insta: https://www.instagram.com/signalwithmoryandmelissaFollow Mory on insta: https://www.instagram.com/moryfontanez/

El año 2023 se recordará como el año con peores cosechas de la historia moderna, influenciado principalmente por el aumento de la temperatura media y la ausencia de precipitaciones, viéndose afectados tanto los cultivos de secano como los regadíos, puesto que las dotaciones de agua fueron escasas. Es el primer resumen que hacen desde ARAGA en su balance del año agrícola 2023.Esta semana ha tenido lugar la renovación del convenio de colaboración del CITA con Delsat International para el desarrollo del uso de vehículos aéreos no tripulados en el control y apoyo de la ganadería extensiva.El Ministerio de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación y la Administración General de Aduanas de la República Popular de China alcanzaban un protocolo fitosanitario que van a permitir la exportación de almendra al país asiático.El valor de la producción de frutas y hortalizas españolas ascendió a 19.633 millones de euros hasta octubre de 2023, siendo el 53% de producción vegetal y el 31% de final agraria.La contratación de seguros agrarios ha crecido un 16% en 2023 hasta los 1.011 millones de euros, según los datos registrados por Agroseguro hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2023.Los precios del aceite de oliva han registrado fuertes subidas en origen en la primera semana de 2024 (del 1 al 7 de enero) en comparación con la última de 2023, según el Ministerio de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación (MAPA).En ‘La Traza' probaremos la miel “Las Abejas de Cándido”, que hoy se encuentra presente en la Feria de la Trufa de Vera de Moncayo, y estaremos también en Torre de las Arcas, Comarca Cuencas Mineras, Teruel, en la IV edición de la Feria de la Trufa de secano. Antes de marcharnos nos contarán cómo verduras y hortalizas han recibido las primeras heladas y sabremos algo más sobre las cebollas babosas.

We're back from our terribly long hiatus with a one shot! Our players take on the role of their monk's Masters Callion, Aesri, Aerik, Kai, and Nightflower as they prepare themselves to do battle with the Ancient Green Dragon that Shea warned them was on its way to the Monastery of Arcas! Stay tuned for our next episode to see what unfolds for the Tomato Crew!

Don Russell returns to the shop to discuss Cornwell's new line of ARCA tool boxes. Then, it's into the mailbag where Stacey offers advice on shop towels, the desirability of 4-doors & long beds, and an engine combo suggestion for a 90's 4x4 project.

As we continue our discussion based on Blake Lemoine's assertion that the Large Language Model chatbot LaMDA had become sentient, we relay the rest of his conversation with the program and then some questions and answers with Lemoine himself. But as Lemoine has said, machine sentience and personhood are just some of many questions to be considered. His greater issue is how an omnipresent AI, trained on an insufficient data set, will affect how different people and cultures interact and who will be dominated or excluded. The fear is that the ultimate result of protecting corporate profits will outweigh global human interests. In light of these questions about AI's ethical and efficient development, we highlight the positions and insights of experts on the state and future of AI, such as Blaise Agüera y Arcas and Gary Marcus. The directives of responsible technology development and the right track to Deep Learning are more grounded than the fantastical thoughts of killer robots. Yet hovering over all of the mechanics are the philosophies of what constitutes sentience, comprehending and feeling as a person does, and being human enough. The reality of Artificial Intelligence matching humans may be fifty years in the future, or five hundred, but if that day ever comes, let's hope it's an egalitarian future where we are the masters and not the servants.
