In this episode of the Eye on AI podcast, we dive into the world of quantum consciousness with Stuart Hameroff, a pioneer in the field of consciousness studies and co-developer of the controversial Orch OR theory. Stuart Hameroff takes us on a journey through the intersection of quantum mechanics and the human mind, explaining how microtubules within neurons could be the key to unlocking the mysteries of consciousness. Stuart delves into his work with physicist Roger Penrose, where they propose that consciousness arises from quantum processes in the brain, deeply embedded in the fabric of spacetime itself. We explore how this theory challenges mainstream neuroscience, which often reduces the mind to simple neural activity, and instead suggests that consciousness may have a profound connection to the universe's underlying structure. Throughout the conversation, Stuart addresses the debate over AI consciousness, asserting that true conscious experience cannot arise from mere computation but requires quantum processes. He shares insights on the latest experiments in anesthesia and quantum biology, offering a fresh perspective on how the brain might function on a deeper, quantum level. Join us as we unpack the groundbreaking Orch OR theory and what it could mean for the future of science, technology, and our understanding of reality.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Talk: "AI Would Be A Lot Less Alarming If We Understood Agents", published by johnswentworth on December 18, 2023 on LessWrong. This is a linkpost for a talk I gave this past summer for the ALIFE conference. If you haven't heard of it before, ALIFE (short for "artificial life") is a subfield of biology which... well, here are some of the session titles from day 1 of the conference to give the gist: Cellular Automata, Self-Reproduction and Complexity Evolving Robot Bodies and Brains in Unity Self-Organizing Systems with Machine Learning Untangling Cognition: How Information Theory can Demystify Brains ... so you can see how this sort of crowd might be interested in AI alignment. Rory Greig and Simon McGregor definitely saw how such a crowd might be interested in AI alignment, so they organized an alignment workshop at the conference. I gave this talk as part of that workshop. The stated goal of the talk was to "nerd-snipe ALIFE researchers into working on alignment-relevant questions of agency". It's pretty short (~20 minutes), and aims for a general energy of "hey here's some cool research hooks". If you want to nerd-snipe technical researchers into thinking about alignment-relevant questions of agency, this talk is a short and relatively fun one to share. Thankyou to Rory and Simon for organizing, and thankyou to Rory for getting the video posted publicly. Thanks for listening.

Stephen Wolfram answers questions from his viewers about business, innovation, and managing life as part of an unscripted livestream series, also available on YouTube here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-business-qa Questions include: Can you use Wolfram Language to log onto a website with username and password and read data from a website? - Will computational chem/Biochem programs (Alphafold2?) be accurate enough in its predictions to completely dominate private R&D to reduce the costs and duration of expensive wet lab experimentation? - When did you first decide to hire people at Wolfram Research? How did you recruit & evaluate them? What have you learned about hiring since then? - have you ever authentically read and replied to an unsolicited email if someone has an important idea for Mathematica and/or the Wolfram Language? - Do you have developers that work in a large variety of topics (changing monthly perhaps), or are most in a 'fixed' position/topic? - When you reach the level you do with Wolfram Research, what steps do you undertake to ensure that you continue to innovate and don't lose ground to your competitors, and that you don't take the wrong business decisions? - As someone with a technical background, how do you maintain a holistic overview of your company? For instance, do you better attempt to understand the company's financial books? - what is your work out routine? - how do you balance time being creative (for projects) vs the everyday necessary work? - At the start of crypto projects there is always this battle between centralization and decentralization. You need an amount of centralization in the beginning to get things going. How long should a project be given before you let in the masses? - Do you have an opinion concerning "Poor Charlie's almanacs: The Wit and Wisdom of Charles T. Munger"? - Do you use rules similar to those in Cellular Automata when you manage your company or your company's projects?
Quantum scientist have also shown that an array of Single electron Transistor - SETs create a form of neural network." SETs construct computers that use individual electrons to carry information. SET biggest problem is operating at room temperature. Quantum tunneling means the can "interact capacitively rather than by current flow throught the wires." "When their interactions result from the quantum tunneling of electrons, quantum dots can collectively behave as a form of quantum cellular automaton, QCA. QCA computers may show associative memory. If Decoherence can be avoid a qbit can form with a 0 or 1 or superposition state of both at the same time. 5 qbits could handle 32 states (2^n), simulateously; a conventional computer would handle 32 sets of 5 bits, or 160 bits in all. 64 bit encryption could be processed with one 64 qubit operation, whereas, a conventional computer requiring 2^64, 1.84 x10^19 operations or 292.5 years, 18 billion billion times more powerful than a 64 bit binary computer. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/david-nishimoto/message

An emergent behavior or emergent property can appear when a number of simple entities operate in an environment, forming more complex behaviours as a collective. If emergence happens over disparate size scales, then the reason is usually a causal relation across different scales. Weak emergence describes new properties arising in systems as a result of the low-level interactions, these might be interactions between components of the system or the components and their environment. In our epic introduction we focus a lot on the concept of self-organisation, complex systems, cellular automata and strong vs weak emergence. In the main show we discuss this more in detail with Dr. Daniele Grattarola and cover his recent NeurIPS paper on learning graph cellular automata.

How does a network of individual neural cells become a brain? How does a neural network learn, hold information and exhibit intelligence? While neurobiologists study how nature achieves this feat, computer scientists interested in artificial intelligence attempt to achieve it through technology. Are there ideas that researchers in the field of artificial intelligence borrow from their counterparts in the field of neuroscience? Can a better understanding of the development and working of the biological brain lead to the development of improved AI? In his book “The Self-Assembling Brain: How Neural Networks Grow Smarter” professor Peter Robin Hiesinger explores stories of both fields exploring the historical and modern approaches. In this episode of Bridging the Gaps, I speak with professor Peter Robin Hiesinger about the relationship between what we know about the development and working of biological brains and the approaches used to design artificial intelligence systems. We start our conversation by reviewing the fascinating research that led to the development of neural theory. Professor Hiesigner suggests in the book that to understand what makes a neural network intelligent we must find the answer to the question: is this connectivity or is this learning that makes a neural network intelligent; we look into this argument. We then discuss “the information problem” that how we get information in the brain that makes it intelligent. We also look at the nature vs nurture debate and discuss examples of butterflies that take multigenerational trip, and scout bees that inform the bees in the hive the location and distance of the food. We also discuss the development of the biological brain by GNOME over time. We then shift the focus of discussion to artificial intelligence and explore ideas that the researchers in the field artificial intelligence can borrow from the research in the field of neuroscience. We discuss processes and approaches in the field of computing science such as Cellular Automata, Algorithmic Information Theory and Game of Life and explore their similarities with how GENOME creates the brain over time. This has been an immensely informative discussion. Complement this discussion by listening to “The Spike: Journey of Electric Signals in Brain from Perception to Action with Professor Mark Humphries” available at: https://www.bridgingthegaps.ie/2021/06/the-spike-journey-of-electric-signals-in-brain-from-perception-to-action-with-professor-mark-humphries/ And then listen to “On Task: How Our Brain Gets Things Done” with Professor David Badre” available at: https://www.bridgingthegaps.ie/2021/02/on-task-how-our-brain-gets-things-done-with-professor-david-badre/

The fabric of the natural world is an issue of no small contention: philosophers and truth-seekers universally debate about and study the nature of reality, and exist as long as there are observers in that reality. One topic that has grown from a curiosity to a branch of mathematics within the last century is the topic of cellular automata. Cellular automata are named as such for the simple reason that they involve discrete cells (which hold a (usually finite and countable) range of values) and the cells, over some field we designate as "time", propagate to simple automatic rules. So what can cellular automata do? What have we learned from them? And how could they be involved in the future of the way we view the world? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/breakingmathpodcast/support
As our last episode of Programming By Stealth before our spring break, Bart wraps up our Cellular Automaton. He goes through his solution to the PBS 49 challenge first, and then he walks us through three examples of how a user could produce three different representations with our code. He demonstrates how to build a Conway Game of Life, the Maze Rule, and Brian's Brain. It's fun to see it all wrapped in a bow ending this long project. We'll be back on March 31st with a whole new project. Bart's full tutorial shownotes are at bartbusschots.ie/...

As promised last week, Bart Busschots brings us the second half of Programming By Stealth 49. We start by going through a lot of revision on JavaScript objects. It's really great to have all of this all in one place, and I got to ask a few questions that have been bugging me for a long time. I understood every bit of this and really enjoyed it, but I'm not going to lie, his little 6-part test after the revision baffled me a bit. But after we slog through that part, Bart gets us back on track improving our Cellular Automata. I never realized that we didn't actually define whether our cells are dead or alive!

In this week's episode of Programming By Stealth, Bart had intended to work on improving our Cellular Automata, but we ended up spending a lot more time on reviewing the challenges from last week that we stopped before getting to the new stuff. The good news is that we're going to do the Cellular Automata improvements in only one week (it will be PBS 49B), and we have no homework for the week! As always, Bart's excellent tutorial shownotes are available at bartbusschots.ie/....

This week Bart Busschots joins us to talk about HTML Form Validation. We'll get back to our Cellular Automata next week. Bart has also decided that we're going to get our feet a little bit yet by using GitHub where we'll be getting the challenges and solutions from now on. You can see Bart's awesome tutorial at bartbusschots.ie/...

Chit Chat Across the Pond this week is another episode of Programming By Stealth with Bart Busschots. I'm very proud of the fact that I completed my homework, writing a program from scratch that passed all of the tests written by Bart. It took me 12 hours, and nearly 4 hours of Dorothy's time helping me do it, but I got 'er done. In this installment, 36 of x, we learn some more HTML, specifically about all the cool things the input tag can do, like creating invisible forms which is just weird but also very cool. The challenge this week is a flip on last week. This week Bart has written the next bit of code for us and we have to create the tests. It's as challenging as all the rest but it's just as fun. And of course you can find Bart's fabulous tutorial show notes at bartbusschots.ie/...
In this episode, we talk about cellular automata - including the Game of Life - and graph theory, and interviewed Jonathan Crofts from Nottingham Trent University about his research on complex networks in neuroscience. Show notes and more episodes via www.furthermaths.org.uk/podcasts

This weeks episode sees a much needed change in focus - be gone all that talk of capitalist exploitation and systemic failure! Today we talk with world renowned mathematician, computer scientist, and philosopher Professor Gregory Chaitin about his latest work. Prof. Chaitin has spent the last number of years trying to come up with a mathematical proof of the power of evolution - how evolutionary randomness is practically as good as divine creation! Amazing stuff, indeed. During this work, he came to the realisation that the standard theory of evolutionary genetics is probably completely wrong, and discusses the latest revolutionary thoughts in the field of biology. We also discuss Gödel's seminal 'incompleteness' theorem, it's far reaching implications for philosophy, spirituality, and epistemology. Von Neumann's Theory of Cellular Automata and Turing's work on the computer also get a mention, and we finish with Professor Chaitin's hope for a mathematical theory of consciousness. Quite a heady mix. Please don't be scared off by the talk of theorems - you will likely miss an interview with one of the true intellectual giants of our time. You can buy Professor Chaitins new work here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Proving-Darwin-Biology-Mathematical-ebook/dp/B006E512HU And here is the full back catalogue of the Professors writings: (much recommended) http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=ntt_athr_dp_sr_1?_encoding=UTF8&field-author=Gregory%20J.%20Chaitin&search-alias=books-uk Enjoy!
