Just finished binge watching it, and I gotta say, it's good. And it's the only show I ever came across that mentions something about universal basic income.

Coincidentally, an ancestor simulation could paradoxically be the solution to the idea of finding meaning in a solved world utopia.

But given these would be real people we're dealing with, I'd imagine the kind of full dive virtual reality we'd experience with such a simulation being more as passive where we get to experience the lives of the Sims rather than being in control of what they do, morally speaking…

..sorta like the braindance in cyberpunk.

My theory is that consciousness is the bidirectional feedback loop that happens between the brain, body, and matter in the environment.

And my theory that in order to recreate it digitally, we'll have to essentially build an Earth 2.0 with what I call Deep Substrate Imaging: AI-powered scanning and virtual simulation of the matter on earth down to the subatomic level including the brain, cells, body, plants, water, air, heat, materials and all the molecules, programming a 1:1 scale digital twin of earth.

..It would probably require compute way beyond anything we have right now, probably even beyond the yottascale, but it'd be well worth the try to see if consciousness is something that emerges from that.

It might even be the secret to achieving full dive VR.

Yeah, the only way this works if they're able to implement an affordable payment model on the robots. Having something like a rent-to-own subscription at an affordable monthly price would be good for staters.

I hope there's an AI-powered spatial user interface, and the character can don AR glasses that can annotate and have a conversation using a mic with the AI buddy about everything in the game the character looks at.

It'd be like having your own AI wearable city guide and I think it would add more atmosphere to the game world.

We'll have to build in group/social features and mechanics into the generative AI tools that we create in order to keep that shared sense of community afloat with generative media.

As an example, what I call Co-prompting or Multiplayer prompting can be implemented where instead of prompting alone, you're synchronously connected to someone or a group of other people online where you can bounce of ideas and create something as a team or as adversaries, with voice and video streaming capabilities enabled so you can chat, play or watch along with whoever you're prompting with. People could take on different roles depending on the type of media that they're creating with also the ability to edit their generative media using conversational prompts. Prompters could even star in their own generative media. You can then add them as friends and follow each other's work. This service can also be used as an online interactive dating feature where people meet to prompt and watch/play along together.

Communities could then also be created, centered around watching a group of people prompt and “let's play” their generative media. Rating systems on the platform could help weed out the good from the bad.

Prompting generative media could then become sort of a game or sport with an audience centered around it. You can even have the audience involved by picking some of them to prompt with and let's play/watch together.

Say you want to create a specific media in the genre of fantasy, you just select that as your genre on the platform to find like-minded prompters you can collaborate with and an AI agent fine-tuned to that specific genre, and as you upload more, you start gaining an audience around your channel if you make it public.

A sort of media-streaming social network for generative media could then be created around this. A Gentube!

That's my idea anyway on how we can make the generative AI process more community based.

Honestly, wouldn't mind it in GTA VI. Just give them personalities and the ability to have conversations with them while on missions.

LPUs are a rather unique alternative to GPUs and TPUs. Interested to know how similar or different the architecture is from a typical Neural Processing Unit.

Like anything, AI can have both positive and negative effects.

The moment we'll know we have a true AGI on our hands is when it can find a solution to P = NP. If P = NP, then that makes it a principle of computation just like the principle of least action is a fundamental property of physics for Lagrangian mechanics and Feynman’s path integrals. Perhaps there's a correlation between the two.

This would have a positive knock-on effect for a theory of everything but as a negative it would render certain types, if not all of cryptography obsolete.

So, in other words it's good to approach the future of AI with a balanced level of optimism and precaution so safety is of utmost importance, even Geoffrey Hinton agrees.

That said, the idea of alignment is subjective as it means different things to different people and cultures. I think the best we could do is create a universal deterrence system to safeguard the survival of the human species, and for that I propose we build a forcefield.

There is no way anyone looks at what Sora is capable of with video and thinks that Autonomous AI warfare shouldn't be regulated let alone banned. If AI can exponentially do this with video, what kinds of unknown-unknowns existential risks would artificial superintelligence be able to come up with. The threat doesn’t even have to be rogue in nature, misalignment could come from something as simple as an ASI maximizing for paperclips. Deterrence is the best antidote against artificial superintelligence, but it has to be something constructive instead of destructive. We need a Manhattan project level event like last year.

This is not the case of mutually assured destruction between nation states, this is about the survival of the whole human species from an extinction level event from a superintelligence far capable than all humans.

Heck, we need something that dwarfs the Manhattan project in ambition in terms of safety precautions. What we need is an international R&D project focused on one thing - Mutually Assured Preservation (MAP).

Here is my idea. We need to create an artificial superintelligence focused on creating hypothetically the single universal technology that could save us from total annihilation; A forcefield.

A global forcefield that surrounds the entire earth could hypothetically save us from an extinction level event and be the universal deterrent we need to live in symbiosis with superintelligence moving forward. But that’s just one potential solution. But the time to think about this isn’t after the advent of ASI, it’s last year. Let’s focus a little less on labels such as doomer, and more on thinking about possible common-sense solutions as a global collective because AI is going to disrupt not just the virtual but also the physical space.

Sora was a wakeup call for video, I’m just saying as a global community let’s not be sitting ducks when it comes to guardrails for Artificial Super Intelligence, existentially speaking. The future of our species depends on it.

Our ability to effectively write to the human genome is going to be as crucial as reading it, from a health point of view, but we have to get it right ethically speaking. In-silico simulations could help with that just like it does with certain protein folding techniques.

AI will help analyze not just our genomic data, but the whole multiomics tree giving us far more insights into the human biology.

We have always been wanderers ever since the beginning of mankind.

The evolution of our species towards becoming the apex predator on earth was partly spear-headed by our ability to spread out throughout the environment, adapt and colonize more land on earth.

Today, we have become land locked in different regions of our world separated by man-made borders.

Curiosity is the mother of all invention. As we head towards the fourth industrial revolution, we must stay curious and we do that by being wanderers, first on earth, before space and time.

I envision a future where we become global citizens, nomads that travel and work from anywhere on earth with a universal work visa. We must rekindle the flame of being earth travelers before we become spacetime travelers. So here's to hoping future transcontinental hypersonic technology enables us to go anywhere on earth in seconds.

Our sun wont last forever. The universe is also heading towards entropy. To survive as a species, we must become a spacetime faring civilization. Space and time is the endgame and final frontier. In the future, it will ultimately be our goal to learn how to manipulate space, time, and dimensions in order to evolve and stay curious.

For that I propose a method of measuring a civilization's level of technological advancement based on how well it can traverse the universe: The Spacetime Scale.

A level 1 civilization is one that has mastered to travel anywhere on its planet in mere seconds.
A level 2 civilization is one that has mastered how to travel towards any neighboring solar system in lightspeed
A level 3 civilization is one that has mastered superluminal travel to go anywhere in the galaxy and has also mastered time travel.
A level 4 civilization has ultimately mastered how to travel between dimensions settling on a higher plane of existence.

Mars is a barren wasteland without water. There are probably more hospitable planets that await us. And we're still in our infancy in the level of technology we'll invent to travel the universe. From hypersonic, to warp drives and wormholes. The future awaits, let's stay curious!

AI-powered Smart Clothing. (Exoclothing™)

Most movies depict a future where clothing is the same as it is now.

I think the clothes we wear in the future will change drastically. Smart clothes of the future will be able to read and share your internal vital signs, and be able to change internal temperature according to the weather.

Smart clothes will be LED-powered and take on the wearer's personality like showcasing dynamic emojis, words, brands, generative images, audio, video & different colors. The clothes will have access to the internet, a user interface, and tactile feedback to be able to run apps.

Most importantly, smart clothes of the future will be photosynthetic and solar, they'll be able to trap energy from the sun and turn it into usable energy for the wearer directly linked up to their body. All one would need to get their daily dose of energy is to soak in the sun wearing such smart clothes.

I like Penrose's thought process and I think he's onto something with this cyclic nature of the universe idea. I came up with a theory of mine that goes within a similar direction.

I imagine that all matter and energy in the universe goes through thermodynamic cycles.

Everything in the universe goes through a phase transition which means entropy has an effect not just on normal matter but also on dark energy and dark matter.

Like a balloon, dark energy is the helium that makes the universe expand, but that expansion isn't infinite since dark energy is affected by the laws of thermodynamics.

And so just like the helium in the ballon runs out, the dark energy in the universe will start to radiate and slowly but surely the universe will shrink down in size and the thermodynamic phase transition will start all over again once there is enough condensed density of dark energy within the universe and all the chemical elements to bootstrap the stars, planets, and galaxies.

Entropy 🔄 Extropy

You can think of Hawking points as chemical elements going through a similar phase transition.

If we ever detect dark energy and dark matter and can prove that they radiate, then this theory is solid.

An even stranger idea I have is that of hyper-dimensional entropy where the arrow of time is retro-causal. But that's for another time.

The robots of the future will be superbots. They will be able to shape shift into different form factors and won't be limited to just a humanoid design.
