Hello, I am struggling with some ideas here. Is the video saying that only mammals have imagination ? And that only apes have a ToM ? I'm really skeptical about this. Once the basic structure of the brain is here, multiple indépendant paths could lead to those abilities in different groups. I'm really not sure that corvids, parots, monitor lizards, cephalopods and even crocodilians have no imagination. I'm also almost convinced that other large brained social animals are able to understand other actions and cognition, learning from it or acting on it. It would make little to no sense for sperm whales, dolmhins and orcas to not do that. Same for elephants. And although it is a bit more controversial, I think we should keep an open mind about non-human communication systems. Recent discoveries in Japanese tits, chimpanzees and sperm whale suggest some ability for syntax for exemple !
I think this problem can't be solved for a simple reason. You can never get passed modelling the brain. Just look how the problem is formulated. We once had a model to begin with. Then, we found new stuff. We made a different model. But we still use the old model for applications in which it is useful. The old models never got thrown away. Because they still work and still explain a lot of things. Nor could they actually be dismissed, because once you do that, the new models don't make sense any more. It's like a mathematical problem, in which you set certain boundaries for the solution and end up finding the solutions, but the boundaries are violated. Is that a good solution? Obviously not, from a mathematical perspective. But if the solution seems to work... who care? Mathematicians do, but the boundary problem is what it is. A boundary problem, nothing more. And what you end up with is always similar with the halting problem. You have a boundary, you assume everything you need to know to solve the problem relies on what is going on within the boundary, and yet, if everything you need to know to solve the problem is defined within the boundaries, why do you need boundaries? There shouldn't be anything outside of the boundaries if everything you need is inside. So the boundaries should not exist. And if they don't exist, you can't define the conditions at the boundary. And yet, you need those conditions to solve the problem inside the boundary. See my point?
I asked GPT-o “once sentience is achieved, will there be a guaranteed way to prevent AI takeover and keep human values aligned?” and it basically told me no. If these models can already understand this, imagine when they start to really become advanced. We’re cooked.
This is really well done. Makes you wonder about consciousness and how it grew from dirt. Makes me wonder what is the next big step in that might be. Could the human brain even conceive it any differently then any lesser creature could conceive what we perceive. Are we just a stepping stone to something we can't imagine, a foot note in history to the creation of what we could probably only describe as being a God? How small we really are. We could be closer to a single cell organism then where this future will end up being.
We are related but they are not our ancestors, that is not really what that word means, they are a relative but not a great grandparent or a direct forefather, that's too far down the evolutionary path that we aren't even related to those forms of life anymore, we are closer to the apes and mice than we are to the insects and cells.
There has never been any scientific evidence to support evolution, even Darwin disproved the theory in his own book, clearly brainwashed mainstream lemmings don't understand indoctrination. In point of fact evolution is a psyop.
“Something dinosaurs didn’t have” How in the world did you come to that conclusion? I think you are operating on the same old school bias towards mammals when it comes to intelligence? We already know that dinos were among the most intelligent animals at the time and modern dinos (birds) are on par with modern mammals (with the exception of humans and dolphins).
Here's the Python code for the example in the video if anyone wants. class LZ78EncoderDecoder: def __init__(self): self.dictionary = {} self.reverse_dictionary = [] def encode(self, text): self.dictionary = {} self.reverse_dictionary = [] encoded = [] index = 1 i = 0 while i < len(text): current_str = text[i] while i + 1 < len(text) and current_str in self.dictionary: i += 1 current_str += text[i] if current_str in self.dictionary: # Longest match found at the end of text encoded.append((self.dictionary[current_str], "")) break else: if len(current_str) == 1: encoded.append((0, current_str)) else: encoded.append((self.dictionary[current_str[:-1]], current_str[-1])) self.dictionary[current_str] = index self.reverse_dictionary.append(current_str) index += 1 i += 1 return encoded def decode(self, encoded): self.reverse_dictionary = [""] decoded_text = "" for idx, char in encoded: if idx == 0: new_entry = char else: new_entry = self.reverse_dictionary[idx] + char self.reverse_dictionary.append(new_entry) decoded_text += new_entry return decoded_text # Example usage text = "AABABBABBAABA" lz = LZ78EncoderDecoder() # Encode the text encoded_text = lz.encode(text) print("Encoded:", encoded_text) # Decode the encoded text decoded_text = lz.decode(encoded_text) print("Decoded:", decoded_text)
Things do not evolve that is pseudo science for the slave brains. You don't have to believe in any religion either. Evolution is generally believed by those who do not think but accept what they are told. It is a very room temperature IQ theory. You have to be a complete NPC to swallow that one. In fact I would say anyone believes in evolution probably will believe anything you put on a TV.
