I can’t believe I was able to find your channel. I’ve had many of these insights throughout my life from studying and contemplation. I love your ‘conscious? sentient?’ section. I’ve always hated the term ‘artificial’ intelligence. I wish we would call what we are building ‘intentional’ intelligence, and refer to humans/biology as ‘practical/evolutionary’ intelligence. Another beautiful video.

[hpac]

The rate at which you turn out this high quality content is IN-SANE! I work in Synthetic Biology and am super curious how AI will elevate that field. And in your videos I can see glimpses of how and where it could be implemented. Thank for sharing your knowledge!

[etalis]

So glad I found your channel. I have been thinking about AI and conciousness in this way for awhile, and it has been really frustrating and isolating being unable to find anyone who thinks about it the same way. Eastern philosophy, quantum theory, AI, and conciousness all share some very strage similarities in their properties. Thank you for doing what you're doing!

First of all i have to say i went and got your book, I'm reading it and gotta say it is amazing, second of all i loved this video it covered so much and the philosophy and spiritual part of it was actually I had never thought about in a Cognitive Architecture despite studying such things everyday. keep going your videos are amazing

[sinyayadynya]

Dear David, this video is absolutely brilliant and gave me now reasons and desire to read your books. Until this point, I totally enjoyed your previous videos, learning a lot from your explanations and experiments. But in my eyes, this one is tremendously setting you apart, as I understand and resonate with your 'background'. Many thanks!

[lilfrnkie]

Saying I’m glad I found this channel is an extreme understatement, David. Keep up the great work

Best episode of The next generation is when riker got some alien punani and ended up almost destroying the whole ship with the addictive video game.

In the early days of the automobile they created racing to help advance the technology. I don't know if they already have it but if they don't they really should start an AI racing league to help advance AI on a controlled course.

So glad I found you, 46 year old Engineer and "Advaitan" here with a strong interest in AI/ML and these breakthrough technologies. Happy to know I have a "tribe" out there, you articulate these ideas very well.

Greetings from the Netherlands and thank you for your work. Great presentation. I have one small criticism. Around the 16 minute mark you have your "Salty much?" slide, where you state that from a physics perspective there is nothing special about humans except the relative complexity of their brains. I think the human physiological architecture and the environment type should be added to your sentence. Elephants, dolphins and orcas have complex brains that in some respects can be considered superior to human brains. But humans have opposable thumbs, allowing for creating and using tools. Humans live on dry land, allowing for like the mastery of fire and all the consequences thereof. Dolphins are not likely to accomplish that even if they have the brains for it. The main reason I mention this, is because there is a continuous feedback loop between humans and their actions in the environment, which is a great determinant for the development of human cognitive abilities. In my view, the physiological plan and abilities are not to be disregarded. Keep up the good work and kind regards.

Another brilliant presentation. 2 days spent getting chatGPT to write a function to parse a file, when it can do it'self, if openAI would let it.

[amador]

I had hyper brain experience since using ChatGpt. I think interaction and the learning can change your cognitive ability

Love this, always wanted to combine non-dual insights in my AI development work. I think that understanding our phenomenology can guide us in creating better and wiser cognitive architectures.

[KCMNJL]

If we are driving a paradigm of machine intelligence that closely approximates, if not improves upon, the human what does that say about us?

I'd say three things:

1. We think a lot of ourselves.
2. Contrary to my last point, we recognise our limitations.
3. Based on our limitations, we may never find a better way to create something as advanced as we are, so it's up to the machines.

My personal silently held thought (although pretty public now): If we are a concentrated sampling of universal "awareness" and "knowledge building", our evolutionary process till now has been efficient in getting us to where we are, but is ultimately limited. We are but a spec of experience in the long age of the universe, and I think it's kinda on us to ensure that experience continues in some form. I'm alright if that doesn't include our soft tissue form.

[NABZ]

A lot of references of Star Trek NG and I really encourage you to watch The Orville (if not already). This show address a lot of similar philosophical questions even if the first episode is weird.

[ilia_bonn]

I like your emotional style of playing different parts of a dialog, haha! As your whole vlog, of course, keep going :) <3 <3 <3

[MichaelDeeringMHC]

You left out something: Inner experience, what it's like to be you. We have a theater of the mind, which is generated unconsciously, which we observe/experience consciously and react to consciously, which then is incorporated into the theater, etc etc. The I that does the observing is also unconscious or an algorithm. This whole thing is a feedback look. Will your CA have this theater, this feedback loop?

[j.hanleysmith]

Congratulations on your channel's success!

So called "near death experiences" suffer confusion between what happened, and what is remembered. You can't ask someone who is, by all observations, dead "What is happening to you now"? Instead, you get comments from them about their "memories" of what happened. However, even as unreliable has human memory is under normal circumstances, there is no way to know where these memories come from. Does the brain have a way to record things when it is shut down (not just asleep or unconscious)? Or, do confabulated memories get generated when the brain is trying to restart from being shut down? These memories could be nothing but random noise that has then been sculpted into perceptions of experiences, post hoc, by a neural system that is trying to make sense out of nonsense.
