I agree with Stephen Hawking, AI is dangerous. I also think it provides some hope for a chaotic species, dispassionate thought. I have a certification in AI and would love to work with it. Artificial Intelligence has come a long way; it now performs surgery, drives cars, builds houses, grows food, but it will never…
Following my descent into coma I have considered the effects thereof questioning nothingness. I now think of reality in different terms, perhaps everything is derived from consciousness. They say in quantum that matter requires consciousness to exist, perception to actualise a state. There is a school of thought that suggests all things including matter are derived…
American cognitive psychologist and author Donald Hoffman says we don’t perceive objective reality, humans fabricate our reality through consciousness. When a computer displays an image the underlying data isn’t an image, in reality its 1’s and 0’s. He also says evolution also doesn’t favour reality, it works by fitness payoffs in survival of the fittest…
During this time of Covid I thought to suggest a few Netflix films... Social Dilemma is about social media. I am mostly positive about technology, I want to see how AI develops as it holds promise for our civilisation. The problem with social media is human. In life we seek public approval, now we can seek…
SpaceX has stimulated human fascination, we are becoming explorers again. Elon Musk’s Tesla car attempts to address global warming, Neuralink human technology integration, but for SpaceX to explore the universe takes the cake. He intends to send his first rocket to Mars in 2024. We once explored the Earth with ships, soon the universe with…
At the last US presidential election America voted in a failed capitalist. Trump's business had just survived bankruptcy in court, he has so much debt. There is also questions about his college education, indeed his intelligence hasn't been proven. If Russia can influence a US election by Facebook, I too must give it a go.…
Humans will one day invent Simulation, a virtual reality like the film "the Matrix". Perhaps today we live in a simulation of the year 2020, why not? Indeed if we do invent simulation we will readily use it to time travel, experience that day according to what we know about it. The link below suggests…
Dear fellow coma victims, I think I've discovered something about recovery from coma because of Covid and social distancing. The new pathways in the brain require regular stimulation otherwise they returns to empty space, it again becomes a virgin pathway. The new pathway is not permanent, if not used regularly you must teach again. My…
When we cut a person's DNA double helix, as it repairs itself we can force a change in their DNA code through the RNA in a CRISPR enzyme. By editing the DNA code of an embryo you can dramatically change a person: the shape of their face, IQ, height, propensity for cancer. Human Nature, a…
Coma victims, it seems the brain's neurological rewiring after coma is not certain. I suspect the brain often tries to use the old faulty pathway because of familiarity. Maybe for a time it oscillates between the old and new route as it tries to establish new pathway for that information. A suspicion given I'm not…
Protests about racism are occurring globally because of George Floyd's murder in the US by police, and the ability to share information through social media. People know what's right and wrong. Indeed black lives matter, equality is right. We haven't been able to translate this into equal opportunity or money. We should become truly equal…
Elon Musk is right, we should integrate artificial and human intelligence, the ambition of his company Neuralink. Indeed human intelligence has created all of our things including Artificial intelligence. There's no reason for us to be left behind by artificial Super Intelligence. Humanity can now endure forever through AI, and travel the universe. Some might…
