This week's guest my friend Joshua DiCaglio, Associate Professor of English at Texas A&M University and author of the fabulous Scale Theory: A Nondisciplinary Inquiry.It's a book bout how contemplating scale can transform us — how it's one thing to understand the microcosm and macrocosm through our maps and another thing entirely to really sit with the mystery of how all of this is happening at once. We can conceptually differentiate ourselves from the rest of the cosmos, but scale makes it clear that at no point do we ever truly stand outside it all.And this has enormous implications: contemplating scale is not merely an idle curiosity but an existential necessity. In an age of exponential AI, our future hinges on whether we can learn to overcome the tendency to colonize other scales with our abstractions and cultivate the capacity to recognize interdependency with the unthinkably small and large. How does truly understanding this change the way we live? Bewilderment is a rich place to start.

We're getting deeper into our series on Aging Reversed. As I say at the beginning of every episode, my goal is to live a long, healthy, happy, active life right up to the end. This year I want to focus more on these simple topics and this series is about the "long" part. I take my inspiration from the book "Lifespan" by David Sinclair, which, if you have the stomach for some deep technical stuff, I recommend you read. The theory is that aging can be halted, or even turned in reverse, if we devote enough resources to the effort. That's what this series is trying to decode for you.

Dr. Andreas Schlatter is a classically trained physicist (EPFL, Princeton) with a decidedly heretical approach to physics. Though deeply mathematical in his approach, he dispenses with the purely field-based approach to understanding the building blocks of nature, and asks far deeper question about what the mathematics is telling us about the hidden structures of nature. Rather than take the positivist approach, which suggests that anything that cannot be experimentally encountered is not worth considering, Schlatter follows in the tradition of Gödel and the other mid 20th century logicians, who believed that a layer of the universe beyond the visible is available to us if we can reason our way to it. By following this path, Schlatter has reached the conclusion that the only viable interpretation of quantum mechanics is the transactional one. Unlike the other transnational theorists we've had on the show, Schlatter has gone one step further to propose that there is a transactional interpretation of gravity just as is there is for quantum mechanics. He calls it entropic gravity, and in this episode we explore the convoluted path he took to physics, how he found the transactionalists, and how he and Ruth Kastner formulated an entropic explanation for spacetime.

Dr. Sanjeev Namjoshi, a machine learning engineer who recently submitted a book on Active Inference to MIT Press, discusses the theoretical foundations and practical applications of Active Inference, the Free Energy Principle (FEP), and Bayesian mechanics. He explains how these frameworks describe how biological and artificial systems maintain stability by minimizing uncertainty about their environment. DO YOU WANT WORK ON ARC with the MindsAI team (current ARC winners)? MLST is sponsored by Tufa Labs: Focus: ARC, LLMs, test-time-compute, active inference, system2 reasoning, and more. Future plans: Expanding to complex environments like Warcraft 2 and Starcraft 2. Interested? Apply for an ML research position: benjamin@tufa.ai Namjoshi traces the evolution of these fields from early 2000s neuroscience research to current developments, highlighting how Active Inference provides a unified framework for perception and action through variational free energy minimization. He contrasts this with traditional machine learning approaches, emphasizing Active Inference's natural capacity for exploration and curiosity through epistemic value. He sees Active Inference as being at a similar stage to deep learning in the early 2000s - poised for significant breakthroughs but requiring better tools and wider adoption. While acknowledging current computational challenges, he emphasizes Active Inference's potential advantages over reinforcement learning, particularly its principled approach to exploration and planning.

On this episode of Thinking Ahead, we're discussing one of my favorite subjects, evolution. Bobby Azarian is a cognitive neuroscientist, a science journalist, and a true evolutionary. His book The Romance of Reality explores the evolution of the universe and life, purpose, complexity, and consciousness with rich vision that far transcends the all-to-common reductionistic view. I'm always interested in visions of evolution that open up new pathways for people to appreciate the magnificent journey of the cosmos, and Azarian's work is a wonderful example of exactly that type of an approach to science. In this lively conversation, Azarian and I explore how life and consciousness evolved on this beautiful blue planet, and what the future might have in store for us all.
Message Log 162, 05/28/2054 - JEWL 3-1-2 Dear Transitioners, In the late 2020s, a groundbreaking discovery in epigenetics ushered in a new era of age reversal. Dr. David Sinclair's Information Theory of Aging proved to be the key to unlocking the secrets of cellular rejuvenation. By reprogramming the epigenetic instructions within our cells, scientists were able to reverse the effects of aging in mammals, restoring youthful biological markers. This paradigm shift shattered the belief that aging was an irreversible accumulation of damage. Instead, it revealed that aging was a loss of crucial information, akin to a software glitch in need of a reboot. What began as a breakthrough in tissue-specific rejuvenation soon expanded into a whole-body reset. By the early 2030s, epigenetic reprogramming therapies became available, allowing individuals to reverse their biological age and restore youthful vitality. The impact was profound, ushering in a new era of extended healthspans and longevity. Diseases once associated with aging became increasingly rare, and the concept of "old age" was redefined. Transitioners, you stand at the precipice of this revolution. While the full-scale rejuvenation therapies are still on the horizon, you have the power to influence your longevity today. Embrace a lifestyle of exercise, proper nutrition, and supplementation, for these habits will not only slow aging but also prepare your body to intercept the forthcoming technologies. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vines/message

A Note from James:I particularly want to reverse my aging. I'm not concerned about being able to run a mile or anything like that; I just want to reverse the aging of my brain. I feel there's a definite difference between my brain now and when I was younger. By the way, culturally, we acknowledge that the brain ages. Not only medically, but culturally, you have to adapt to being the wise older person rather than the sharp young person.We had a great conversation with Arthur Brooks about this. He wrote an excellent book, which I can't recommend enough, called "From Strength to Strength." That podcast with Arthur Brooks changed my life in how I view my brain aging. Additionally, several podcasts with David Sinclair about the aging process have also been life-changing.I have used the supplements he recommended and made the lifestyle changes he suggested back in 2019. David has conducted a lot of research in the five years since his book "Lifespan" was released, and I wanted to see what the current state of his research was. So, he came on the podcast.I'm very grateful; he doesn't do many podcasts. He shared some incredible discoveries and new information, giving me real insight. We discussed everything related to what he's doing in anti-aging and what he's discovered since the last time I had him on. At the special request of our listeners, I also asked him about testosterone.Towards the end of the podcast, I asked him about that, and his answer was very interesting. Here's David.Episode Description:Today, James discusses personal motivations for wanting to reverse aging, specifically targeting brain aging. The conversation moves into the broader cultural and scientific understandings of aging, touching on insights from Arthur Brooks and David Sinclair's research. Sinclair's work on anti-aging, including lifestyle changes and supplement use recommended by him, is highlighted, mentioning his book 'Lifespan' and the progress in his research over the past five years. Key discussions include the information theory of aging, the role of DNA and epigenetics in aging, and the concept of age reversal through maintaining or restoring the epigenome's integrity. The episode covers the potential of using Yamanaka factors for age reversal, the challenges in translating these findings from mice to humans, and regulatory considerations for human trials. Sinclair also touches on his ongoing work in developing chemical cocktails for age reversal, comparing lifestyle changes to these scientific advances.

In this episode we discuss a practical application of information theory. Information theory is similar to the classic theory of communication, but distinct in important ways; these two theories together are a useful combo for creating a strategy for clarification.
In this episode, we explore information theory and the not-so-obvious shortcomings of its popular metrics for model monitoring; and where non-parametric statistical methods can serve as the better option. Introduction and latest news 0:03Gary Marcus has written an article questioning the hype around generative AI, suggesting it may not be as transformative as previously thought.This in contrast to announcements out of the NVIDIA conference during the same week.Information theory and its applications in AI. 3:45The importance of information theory in computer science, citing its applications in cryptography and communication.The basics of information theory, including the concept of entropy, which measures the uncertainty of a random variable.Information theory as a fundamental discipline in computer science, and how it has been applied in recent years, particularly in the field of machine learning.The speakers clarify the difference between a metric and a divergence, which is crucial to understanding how information theory is being misapplied in some casesInformation theory metrics and their limitations. 7:05Divergences are a type of measurement that don't follow simple rules like distance, and they have some nice properties but can be troublesome in certain use cases.KL Divergence is a popular test for monitoring changes in data distributions, but it's not symmetric and can lead to incorrect comparisons.Sid explains that KL divergence measures the slight surprisal or entropy difference between moving from one data distribution to another, and is not the same as KS test.Metrics for monitoring AI model changes. 10:41The limitations of KL divergence and its alternatives, including Jenson Shannon divergence and population stability index.They highlight the issues with KL divergence, such as asymmetry and handling of zeros, and the advantages of Jenson Shannon divergence, which can handle both issues, and population stability index, which provides a quantitative measure of changes in model distributions.The popularity of information theory metrics in AI and ML is largely due to legacy and a lack of understanding of the underlying concepts. Information theory metrics may not be the best choice for quantifying change in risk in the AI and ML space, but they are the ones that are commonly used due to familiarity and ease of use.Using nonparametric statistics in modeling systems. 15:09Information theory divergences are not useful for monitoring production model performance, according to the speakers.Andrew Clark highlights the advantages of using nonparametric statistics in machine learning, including distribution agnosticism and the ability to test for significance without knowing the underlying distribution.Sid MangaliWhat did you think?

In this episode, the hosts focus on the basics of anomaly detection in machine learning and AI systems, including its importance, and how it is implemented. They also touch on the topic of large language models, the (in)accuracy of data scraping, and the importance of high-quality data when employing various detection methods. You'll even gain some techniques you can use right away to improve your training data and your models.Intro and discussion (0:03)Questions about Information Theory from our non-parametric statistics episode.Google CEO calls out chatbots (WSJ)A statement about anomaly detection as it was regarded in 2020 (Forbes)In the year 2024, are we using AI to detect anomalies, or are we detecting anomalies in AI? Both? Understanding anomalies and outliers in data (6:34)Anomalies or outliers are data that are so unexpected that their inclusion raises warning flags about inauthentic or misrepresented data collection. The detection of these anomalies is present in many fields of study but canonically in: finance, sales, networking, security, machine learning, and systems monitoringA well-controlled modeling system should have few outliersWhere anomalies come from, including data entry mistakes, data scraping errors, and adversarial agents Biggest dinosaur example: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-biggest-dinosaur-in-history-may-never-have-existed/Detecting outliers in data analysis (15:02)High-quality, highly curated data is crucial for effective anomaly detection. Domain expertise plays a significant role in anomaly detection, particularly in determining what makes up an anomaly.Anomaly detection methods (19:57)Discussion and examples of various methods used for anomaly detection Supervised methodsUnsupervised methodsSemi-supervised methodsStatistical methodsAnomaly detection challenges and limitations (23:24)Anomaly detection is a complex process that requires careful consideration of various factors, including the distribution of the data, the context in which the data is used, and the potential for errors in data entryPerhaps we're detecting anomalies in human research design, not AI itself?A simple first step to anomaly detection is to visually plot numerical fields. "Just look at your data, don't take it at face value and really examine if it does what you think it does and it has what you think it has in it." This basic practice, devoid of any complex AI methods, can be an effective starting point in identifying potential anomalies.What did you think?

Sean Carroll's Mindscape: Science, Society, Philosophy, Culture, Arts, and Ideas
Evolution is sometimes described -- not precisely, but with some justification -- as being about the "survival of the fittest." But that idea doesn't work unless there is some way for one generation to pass down information about how best to survive. We now know that such information is passed down in a variety of ways: through our inherited genome, through epigenetic factors, and of course through cultural transmission. Chris Adami suggests that we update Dobzhansky's maxim "Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution" to "... except in the light of information." We talk about information theory as a subject in its own right, and how it helps us to understand organisms, evolution, and the origin of life.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2024/02/19/266-christoph-adami-on-how-information-makes-sense-of-biology/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Christoph Adami received his Ph.D. in physics from Stony Brook University.

“If you can believe it, the mind can achieve it.” -- Ronnie Lott
In Episode 13 of the "Transcendent Naturalism" series, John Vervaeke, Gregg Henriques, and guest Matt Segall engage in a deep exploration of the intersection between spirituality and cognitive science. They delve into how concepts like etheric imagination and process philosophy, particularly in the works of Schelling and Whitehead, can broaden our understanding of naturalism. The dialogue critically examines the constraints of traditional naturalism, highlighting the significance of imagination within scientific frameworks, and discussing the ongoing evolution of human perception and cognition. The episode bridges scientific inquiry with profound existential questions, offering enriched perspectives on the interplay between science, philosophy, and spirituality. Matthew T. Segall, Ph.D., is a renowned philosopher specializing in Alfred North Whitehead's process philosophy. He earned his doctorate from the California Institute of Integral Studies in 2016, with a focus on post-Kantian process philosophy. His academic work emphasizes the integration of science, spirituality, and ecology, contributing significantly to contemporary philosophical thought. Glossary of Terms Transcendent Naturalism: A philosophy that expands traditional naturalism to include spiritual and subjective experiences, aiming to integrate scientific inquiry with existential and spiritual questions. Process Philosophy: A doctrine emphasizing change and becoming, viewing the universe as a constant flux of experiential occasions, associated with Alfred North Whitehead. Etheric Imagination: A form of imagination that goes beyond physical senses, involving perception or engagement with subtle, non-physical realms or dimensions.

Could future technologies induce mystical states and cosmic consciousness? If science can unlock the complexity of awareness, would transcendence become programmable? Or does mechanizing enlightenment forfeit its meaning? Does hubris lie in believing we can digitize the mystic's journey? Perhaps these speculations tread the line between fantasy and possibility. If so, reality's very fabric may bend to humanity's awakening.New!

This is: Learning-theoretic agenda reading list, published by Vanessa Kosoy on November 9, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. Recently, I'm receiving more and more requests for a self-study reading list for people interested in the learning-theoretic agenda. I created a standard list for that, but before now I limited myself to sending it to individual people in private, out of some sense of perfectionism: many of the entries on the list might not be the best sources for the topics and I haven't read all of them cover to cover myself. But, at this point it seems like it's better to publish a flawed list than wait for perfection that will never come.

Join Jeff Zweerink and Eric Hedin as they discuss new discoveries taking place at the frontiers of science that have theological and philosophical implications, including the reality of God's existence. God and Information Theory In this episode, we discuss how living things exhibit a high degree of information—far beyond what can be explained by natural causes. The physics underlying information theory shows us that natural forces will degrade the information content of a closed system over time. Since the origin and progressive complexity of life manifests a dramatic increase in information, we conclude that the existence of living things is consistent only with intelligent design—as ascribed in the Bible to the creative work of God.

Ed and Ron are excited for their interview with George Gilder, author of the brand new book, Life After Capitalism: The Meaning of Wealth, the Future of the Economy, and the Time Theory of Money, published May 30, 2023. This is George's fourth appearance on The Soul of Enterprise. He is Ron's 42-year mentor, since his publication of Wealth & Poverty in 1981, which changed Ron's life forever after. His latest book is a groundbreaking new theory of economics that, at last, explains capitalism as a knowledge-based system, not one revolving around incentives, greed, or materialism. It is truly groundbreaking, and you will want to hear what George has to say about how it will change our way of understanding economics, wealth, growth, technology, our standard of living, and the future of human flourishing.

In the 1940s, as digital communications ramped up, Claude Shannon codified basic concepts of how to send and receive information along digital channels. His abstract model of communication goes like this: the message source creates a message in an encoding language, transmits the message, and then on the other end it is decoded by the message receiver. If there is a message with any coherence to it, there must be a message source. DNA is an extraordinarily coherent message. It's encoded in nucleotide bases, decoded by first RNA and then transcribed into proteins, which then fold in 3-D shapes that determine their functionality based on the chemistry of the protein sequence. A classic argument is the infinite monkey theorem: this is the idea that if you gave a monkey a typewriter, given infinite time, he might at least once by happenstance write Shakespeare's MacBeth (or War and Peace, or pick your favorite work of literature). Of course, one major problem is that no one argues that there was infinite time--most secular scientists believe the earth is a mere 4 billion years old. The probability of any combination of events occurring in sequence with one another requires multiplying the probability of each individual event--say, a correct first letter out of 26, times the probability of a correct second letter out of 26, times the probability of a correct third letter out of 26, and so on. The probability thus shrinks exponentially. Hamlet is around 130,000 letters. The probability of a monkey typing all 130,000 letters in the correct sequence is thus 1 part in 3.4 × 10^183,946. To put that in context, there are only 7 x 10^27 atoms in the entire universe, and 10^80 protons (since atoms are made of both protons and neutrons bound together in the nucleus). Even if every one of those protons was a monkey who had been typing at random continuously from the estimated time of the Big Bang (usually supposed to be some 13.7 billion years ago), it would still be statistically impossible for one of those protonic monkeys to accidentally produce Shakespeare's Hamlet. In order to have even a one in a trillion probability, we'd have to introduce the multiverse once again--there would need to be 10^360,641 universes, each filled with protonic monkeys typing at random for 13.7 billion years (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem#cite_note-10). So for all intents and purposes, the supposition of the Information Theorem is absolutely correct. If there is a coherent message, there must have been a mind to generate it. Information doesn't come from nothing. It cannot. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In episode 228 of the Parker's Pensées Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Kenny Pearce and Dr. Sam Lebens to discuss which view of God better explains the creation we live in, Hassidic Idealism, wherein we live in God's mind, or Berklean Idealism, wherein the external world is separate from God's mind but intimately dependent on it. (Of course these options aren't the only ones!). This episode is the culmination of two other episodes, one with Dr. Lebens and one with Dr. Pearce.

How and why, in the latter half of the twentieth century, did informatic theories of “code” developed around cybernetics and information theory take root in research settings as varied as Palo Alto family therapy, Parisian semiotics, and new-fangled cultural theories ascendant at US liberal arts colleges? Drawing on his recently published book “Code: From Information Theory to French Theory,” and primary sources from the MIT archives, this talk explores how far-flung technocratic exercises in Asian colonies and MIT's Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE) inspired these varied and diverse audiences in a common dream of “learning to code.” The result is a new history of the ambitions behind the rise of “theory” in the US humanities, and the obscure ties of that endeavor to Progressive Era technocracy, US foundations, and the growing prestige of technology and engineering in 20th century life. Bernard Dionysius Geoghegan is a Reader in the History and Theory of Digital Media at King's College London. An overarching theme of his research is how “cultural” and “humanistic” sciences shape—and are shaped by—digital media. His attention to cultural factors in technical systems also figured in his work as a curator, notably for the Anthropocene and Technosphere projects at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt. Duke University Press recently published his book Code: From Information Theory to French Theory (2023), based partly on archival research he undertook as a visiting PhD student at MIT around 2008.
When an awakened populace threatens, evil turns to tech. The devil is just following the book. Being true to yourself means working with others. More horrific evidence emerges. The team, the urgency, and twenty long years of coordination. Targeting corruption by pretending. The domino effect in a gory world. Bribes, favors, loyalty and quietly building cases. Compare and contrast while solving the impossible. The RFIA promises a responsible finance approach. Merging AI with humans. Elon's competition. Chips and inserts should be internal repaired circuits. Are they helping or mapping? The innovation and industry behind graphene oxide. The error correction codes in firmly rooted algos. Yes, your DNA is involved. Hey AI, get some morality. Tracing the philosophical perspectives. Yes indeed math can prove what they say. When machine learning falls off the rails. Modern info theory and Shannon's vision. An OS on top of an OS. Is it all about controlling us? We are God's best quantum computer. Humanity can recognize good, have true faith, and be courageous in the endless fight against evil. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
