Are Insect Brains the Secret to Great AI? | Frances S. Chance | TED
Are insects the key to brain-inspired computing? Neuroscientist Frances S. Chance thinks so. In this buzzy talk, she shares examples of the incredible capabilities of insects — like the dragonfly’s deadly accurate hunting skills and the African dung beetle’s super strength — and shows how untangling the mysterious web of neurons in their tiny brains…

Building trust in crypto with Jonathan Levin of Chainalysis | Equity Podcast
Late last week, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission chair Gary Gensler said that he was “proud to serve” the agency, which some are taking as a hint at an upcoming resignation. Gensler has faced heavy criticism for his crackdown on crypto, including a recent lawsuit from 18 states, and is likely to be replaced under…

I’m mystified why researchers don’t run with the notion of cognitive architectures, per John Anderson. These models align well with cognitive psychology.

Good earnings and little to no engagement at all on my part. His stock picks are outstanding. I can tell you he’s quite the genius in trading and portfolio diversification.

I read the title, and instantly images of Starship Troopers came to mind, except that the bugs were giant terminator robot bugs instead! But on watching the video, the logic to the process just makes so much sense, and seems so obvious with hindsight, that you just know that it is the way forward in these matters. Great video.

That’s so interesting! Our crew recently filmed a project that aims to use AI models to decode whale communication. This would be groundbreaking since sperm whales have the biggest brain on earth, and understanding their complex behaviour could be game-changing for us. Could AI help us understand their complex behaviour, their complex sounds, and what they are doing in the deep sea? We’re excited to see the outcome of this technology and confident that we will soon learn even more about the minds of sperm whales.

I’m a software engineer who has been focussed on AI for over forty years now. I think that the path you are on is very promising! If you can crack this coordinate transformation problem, it may directly shed light on how ‘reference frames’ (as conceived by Jeff Hawkins) work in human intelligence. And, if we could understand and build up from there, we could really be off to the races!

This video isn’t a parody. The moon contains a huge insect colony with its own leaders. Do you remember Starship Troopers? That movie was designed as a metaphor of the intellectual conflict between insect philosophy, and human philosophy.
Insect societies raise baby insects which have been specifically bred to occupy a specific social role. Communists want to do the same thing with humans. Japan is in favor of this idea. There will be Japanese truck drivers who can do nothing else; Japanese cooks who can do nothing else; and Japanese garbage collectors who can do nothing else. It’s destiny!
In the “Transformer” movies, the military had become partners with giant transforming computers (displayed as humanoid robots) to protect the human race from insect domination.
The intent of the “Transformer” movies was to convince the public that only the military, in combination with giant computers, can defend earth from external threats like insects.
But the military wants to follow the insect tradition of raising babies who have been specifically bred for a job, and a social position. That’s why the D.O.D. has such a huge investment in human D.N.A. patents.
And that’s why all patents must be declared invalid. First of all, the D.O.D. doesn’t own a single pencil. All government property belongs to the taxpayer. And secondly, humans aren’t bred like farm animals. People choose a spouse for many reasons, and none of those reasons is a concern of the Pentagon.
Insect societies are inherently evil. Yes, they’re well planned. If you consider slavery and vicious military domination to be good planning.
