Examachine is an AGI Platform that features exa-scale universal machine learning beyond human-level and it is developed by Celestial Intellect Cybernetics.
In this philosophical piece, I will try to summarize the main reasons why the so-called simulation argument a la Bostrom is most certainly invalid. I will show, from the perspective of science and empiricist philosophy, that it hinges on some
Recently, there has been widespread confusion about digital physics relating it to the simulation argument. Digital physics, the hypothesis that the universe is a kind of digital computer is most likely true. Simulation argument is not. It is a very
A parody, infused in a bit of science fiction…. Year 2041. Brain emulations are very common. After the 2039 international agreements, virtually every country has had to approve of brain simulations as continuations or branches of their legal citizens. A
Here is my presentation for the following paper titled Diverse Consequences of Algorithmic Probability. The slides aren’t viewed well in the video, so here they are: Slides to Diverse Consequences of Algorithmic Probability Probably the most interesting thing about this
The wrath of winter comes to an end. The wait is over. Slowly, the ice melts away, awakening the dormant powers of imagination. Neural seeds have sprouted from the soil of high hopes in a billion magnificent forms. Flowers of
UMass Amherst computer scientist leads the way to the next revolution in artificial intelligence. It’s striking how somebody who has no understanding of set theory or theory of computation can claim such things. 2^aleph_0, eh? What flamboyance. Beware this University
Introduction One of the most interesting questions we’ve ever pondered on the ai-philosophy mailing list was how you would build an “angelic” autonomous AI. Would it be possible to make some kind of angel’s mind that, by design, achieves only
Introduction The nature of experience is one of those deep philosophical questions which philosophers and scientists alike have not been able to reach a consensus on. In this article, I review a transhumanist variant of a basic question of subjectivity.
Mp paper titled “A compromise between reductionism and non-reductionism”, argues against extreme non-reductionism such as predicate dualism. This was published in the book “WORLDVIEWS, SCIENCE AND US: Philosophy and Complexity“. The issue of irreducibility is interpreted from the perspective of algorithmic information
Teramachine is the second milestone of the examachine research program. It features teraflop-scale incremental machine learning, therefore it embodies an integrated long-term memory which works in black-box fashion from the user’s point of view. I can really feel this is
Teramachine marches on towards primary-school student level. Function inversion (in the mathematical sense) with one example (assuming one-shot learning) is implemented like this in the current code, to give you a flavor of how neat O’Caml code can look: let
I have maintained for ages that terminological and polemical discussions are fruitless and therefore fit for fools. However, every now and then we are being forced into such trivial controversy. I will reminisce an old foe from the glorious days
translating between OCaml Scheme and Haskell. Ah, I just stumbled on this page while searching for what people use for a composition operator in O’Caml. It gives a comprehensive guide to translating among these languages.
Pei Wang on the Path to Artificial General Intelligence. Ben Goertzel interviews Pei Wang. The interview does contain some interesting questions. It sounds as if Ben believes in a kind of “embodied inteligence”. However, it also seems to me that
Presently, most researchers assume that a general-purpose human-level or beyond AI system must be autonomous. This is mostly due to AIMA’s agent designs and Hutter’s version of intelligence definitions that emphasize agent design. That is to say, an agent thinks
Walker.’s original article. Oh well, Mark, I think you want us to feel really joyful! Wake up with a surge of happiness in the morning, have a great breakfast, go to work, work, lunch, work, work, until we drop dead,
Cross-check: Is speculation in multiverses as immoral as speculation in subprime mortgages?. I kind of like the author’s approach to this not-so-plausible sort of scientific speculation. Carl Sagan famously drew a line between the scientifically plausible and implausible sorts of
I think O’Caml is a great language for parallel algorithm development. I have written two parallel codes in O’Caml, one is my AI system called the examachine, and the other is a parallel information-retrieval code which I cannot specify yet
It sounds like most folks don’t have a clue about how an AGI would work. Let us remember where the generality of an AGI comes from. An AGI has universal intelligence, because it has in its possession a universal computer,
It is not wise to store much private information on the servers of a corporation which is interested in making a profit from the data you inadvertently give them. Furthermore, it is not a good idea to store public information
