The movie captures the feeling of being a rockstar detective. The way everyone is dressed and the cold logic games they play. The movie raises an interesting question: what happens when the spy controls the environment? They could make anyt

It feels like the connection between entropy and life is the missing piece in modern machine learning and artificial intelligence. The dance between entropy and life bubbles all the way up to the brain. I've written about this here mor

I suspect that artificial intelligent life is not possible if organisms do not create a microcosm of the inherent chaos in the universe within themselves. The same way that numbers can be factored into primes, probability distributions can

Let me be more concise: whatever grows inside the simulation will never know the rules of the simulation better than the simulation's maker. At best, it will know the rules as well as the maker. In the case of AlphaGo and AlphaZero, wh

An interesting thought experiment: what would an AGI do in a sterile world? I think the depth of understanding that any intelligence develops is significantly bound by its environment. If there is not enough entropy in the environment, I ca

>Or at least, I think I agree. What I would have said is that you can write down words on a paper, and the words are a representation of meaning, but the paper doesn't understand meaning, nor do the words. You need a human, with a h

My hunch is that all probabilistic methods eventually degrade and they cannot capture "rules". Otherwise you would end up with a classical computer. I think what we are really looking for is a way to learn "rules" such t

Meaning and intent can only be applied if structure can be captured. I'm not proposing building some god-machine that has a library of all possible regular expressions. I'm merely saying that it could be helpful to nudge something

I have a hunch that a lot of the deep relationships between words in languages can be inferred by using something like binary regular expressions. Defining states by a context length have a close analogue to this technique to speed up apply
