You are you because you revisit (the neighborhood of) these attracting states time after time. Your life traces out a path on this delicately structured attracted set or manifold... Technically speaking, you are a random dynamical attractor, with an attracting set of states that fills a part of (state) space, yet has intrinsically small volume (i.e. measure). In other words, of all possible states you could occupy, there are only a small number that you would characteristically be found in... Questions about the nature of life resolve into question about the dynamics such systems must possess if they exist. In short, life is its own existence proof." beff jezos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fEEbKJoNbU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8iFtaltX-s Coherence is all you need https://youtu.be/3MkJEGE9GRY?si=aZnvsD4a_Nm_GRXB https://youtu.be/lvDIZM0hYXM?si=CC8t9NiK5T71MhWJ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G90M5O7Lnsg A new startup in Canada wants to build the first “conscious” artificial intelligence using quantum computing. What’s their definition of consciousness? Well, it’s based on Roger Penrose’s ideas about consciousness, ORCH-OR. I find this rather confusing because Penrose thinks that consciousness is not computable, so how are we now going to compute it?

We're currently building very obedient students, not revolutionaries. This is perfect for today’s main goal in the field of creating great assistants and overly compliant helpers. But until we find a way to incentivize them to question their knowledge and propose ideas that potentially go against past training data, they won't give us scientific revolutions yet. If we want scientific breakthroughs, we should probably explore how we’re currently measuring the performance of AI models and move to a measure of knowledge and reasoning able to test if scientific AI models can for instance: Challenge their own training data knowledge Take bold counterfactual approaches Make general proposals based on tiny hints Ask non-obvious questions that lead to new research paths We don't need an A+ student who can answer every question with general knowledge. We need a B student who sees and questions what everyone else missed. https://x.com/Thom_Wolf/status/1897630495527104932 " "Physics explores the highly successful idea that every phenomenon in the universe is ultimately reducible to a causally closed lowest layer, which can be described using automata. Physicalism is the position that our universe emerges directly from this layer." https://x.com/Plinz/status/1385378110833446914 https://publish.obsidian.md/active-inference/knowledge_base/cognitive/active_inference "The number of elementary logical operations that can have been performed by the universe 10^120 is approximately the square of the number of operations that can have been performed by all kingdoms of life on Earth in the entire existence of our planet 10^60, a drastically revised update for the computational capacity of life 10^40 calculated assuming a maximum information-processing speed set by all Hodgkin-Huxley neurons in animals firing at millisecond timescale."
