History has repeatedly shown the same pattern for innovative & disruptive technologies.When new tools enter the free market that threaten the monopolistic power structure,the no1 tactic to discourage its use by the market participant is psychological warfare in the form of ‘FUD’. New tech always faces FUD: 🚂 Railroads/Autos → unsafe & disruptive ⚡ Electricity → deadly, fire risk 🌐 Internet → scam, fad, useless 🤖 AI → job killer, existential threat

Human Intelligence & Artificial Intelligence both process information. Processing information is a form of computation that occurs biologically in wetware or artificially in software. The substrate and mechanism for each differs but falls on the spectrum of “thinking”. The notion can be analogized to how an analogue & digital watch tracks time via different substrate and mechanisms however both function as tools to keep time & both are labeled as watches.

When a human being looks at an object, he/she labels the object with regard to its appearance, how it stimulates the senses and its utility. Despite this, the human does not need to know what the object is fundamentally made of, to derive meaning from its macro-state. A computer is able to assess the structure of a sequence of numbers, words or characters and derive meaning from the positioning of these elements (items, tokens or complex objects) in the sequence without ‘knowing’ what the element fundamentally is. Consciousness and Computers approach understanding in different but oddly parallel ways.

If consciousness had access to all knowledge & understanding of the universe it would see that every system and structure in physical reality can be compressed & expressed through geometrical patterns & mathematical algorithms. Never stop using your imagination,curiosity & intuition to question the algorithms & patterns that shape your human experience & awareness of the world. Is it adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing your soul.

“The area that AI is having the most impact in education is not in the classroom but outside it. It equalizes access for all children to “adult” support. There are many students in the world who do not have access to a quality teacher, private tutors or parents that can help. Now with an AI companion, every student can receive encouragement, feedback on their homework & writing with assistance tackling difficult questions.” OpenAI’s Head of Education, Leah Belsky

The problem with most people is they only perceive and conceptualize from their own perspective. You might not need new technology but many do. Somewhere, there are innocent humans in settlements without running water or electricity. For them, innovation isn’t a luxury; it’s empowerment. It’s a chance to participate on the global stage of human progress. For those shackled by poverty and hardship not of their own doing, technology can mean hope.

‘Mathematics is an open source protocol for communication. It is based on Rationality hence Ratios. Numerator over denominator. Language is an open source communication protocol used to convey meaning through words which is based on Metaphor hence Meta. A ‘word’ used to define something beyond words. One can say ‘Money’ is a word used to describe a concept that is ‘metaxu’ to Mathematics & Language.

We are so f**ked.

Social media for humanity is a tool we are still learning how to use for full benefit. It took us thousands of years to exploit the thermodynamic potential of Fire. As we evolve with social media, we realize privacy is important and that sharing everything is not conducive to a healthy standing amongst peers & society.However the profound potential of connection between minds not separated by space or time cannot be over or understated.

It will keep your spirit in good stead when preaching the techno gospel of any technology to remember this model to make sense of resistance. People can only understand from their limited perspective. Be kind, hopeful & patient.

Starlink’s mesh network of thousands of low-earth-orbit satellites offers a transformative approach to internet connectivity, providing high-speed, low-latency access even in remote areas. Its global coverage and secure data transmission capabilities make it a critical backbone for emerging technologies like IoT, autonomous systems, and real-time communication. As digital infrastructure becomes foundational to economic and social progress, nations or entities slow to adopt such technologies risk being left behind in an increasingly connected world. The convergence of AI, 5G, and edge computing with Starlink’s network could further amplify this divide.

Technology is a cyclic tool that interacts with every facet of civilization (religion, culture, science, language, economics, mathematics etc). Unfortunately entities have risen in civilization through the ages via coercion and manipulative strategies to capture Technology and use it as a tool for personal benefit and push certain agendas at the expense of the many throwing off balance between Chaos & Order.This is slowly changing as advancements in human ingenuity return technology back to the people.

‘Our first product is “Telepathy” that will be for someone who has lost the ability to command their body & enable them to be able to communicate with a computer & mouse to operate a computer with dexterity that will ultimately become better than the dexterity of human hands now. Our next product is “ Blindsight” for those that have lost their eye,optic nerve or born blind to enable them to see again, initially lower resolution but eventually higher-resolution and multiple wavelengths. So you can be like Geordi La Forge in Star Trek. You will be able to see in radar, infrared and ultraviolet. Superhuman capabilities, cybernetic enhancement, essentially. Along the way this should help us understand a lot more about consciousness. What does it mean to be a conscious creature.” Elon.Musk presentation on Neuralink 2025.

Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man' drawing depicts a man in two superimposed positions within a circle and a square. The proportions are carefully calculated in an attempt to represent the underlying perfection of Man and to link him directly to the Universe. The relationship of the human form to a circle & square reflects ancient ideas - dating back to Plato, Pythagoras and earlier mystic traditions - which attempted to forge a link between Nature and geometry.

‘From 1st principles AI will be the most profound technology that humanity will work on.More impactful & profound than fire, electricity or the internet. It can appear as recency bias as any disruptive and innovative form of creativity can appear as the best thing in the moment but AI is in a league of its own & will surpass everything before it.We have never dealt with a technology that is developing as fast & capable as AI.We also do not know what the ceiling is for its potential.Couple this to its recursive learning & ability to actuate creativity. By 2030 there would have been such dramatic progress and we will be dealing with the negative & positive externalities & consequences of that progress’ Thoughts on Artificial Intelligence from CEO of Google & Alphabet on The Lex.fridman podcast.

Open your ears to hear of it. Open your heart to welcome it. Open your mind to learn of it. Decide what path of pain to walk to grow your Being. Close the gates of illusion. Awaken your soul to Truth.

One Species, One Planet. Astronauts see simplicity because they are physically forced to see the world in a different way. We can’t all be astronauts but we can all study science and change the mental altitude of our perspective that shapes our world. Thoughts taken from “Forces of Nature” by Prof.B Cox & A.Cohen

It’s beautiful & fascinating how Artificial Intelligent models e.g Transformers context-recognition abilities (developed through self-supervised learning on unlabeled data) can be used to understand semantic connection in text.

On 15 August 1977, the Big Ear radio telescope at detected an anomalously strong radio signal from deep space. An alphanumeric representation of the signal’s intensity “6EQUJ5”,a spike so remarkable that astronomer Jerry Ehman circled it and wrote “Wow!” in the margin. The signal came from the direction of the constellation Sagittarius,with no known Earth-originating source. The nearest star in that region is 122 light years away. To this day, scientists haven’t detected it again. Its origin remains a mystery.

‘There are a number of characteristics of intelligent behavior that LLM’s perform very primitively or fail to mimic. Examples are the capacity to understand the physical world, the ability to remember and retrieve things, persistent memory and to reason & plan. LLM’s are missing essential components on the path to human level intelligence. LLM’s are trained on large text-based datasets that would take the average human being 170 000 years to read at 8hrs a day. However the amount of multi-sensory Information the human beings extract from their environment far exceed the amount of textual information LLM’s train on, when compared in bits per data.’ Thoughts from Yann.Lacun on The Lex Fridman podcast episode 416
