” Intelligent life will become the main factor in the evolution of the cosmos, and steer it toward an intended path.”
"I think the internet is still open and hasn't been taken over, which is instructive as the power of decentralised protocols regarding AI."
"Blockchain is the best technology we have today for coordinating a large global network of machines without a central owner or controller."
"Generative AI network with security baked into the underlying architecture and training mechanism, which is a different approach from the norm."
"The main bottlenecks in humanoid robotics are actually software bottlenecks, not hardware bottlenecks."
“I am actively working to bring BGI about, sooner rather than later. And I think you probably should be too.”
"Interactive storytelling with the robot helps the AI enter into the same mind space as a human child while being there in the same physical space."
"The human-level AGI barrier is arbitrary, more like the escape velocity of Earth... it's just a milestone in AGI's progression as they get smarter."
"The way people deal with LLM security is to try to bolt on security after the LLM is done, but we built security into the architecture of the LLM itself."
” New ethical systems will emerge, based on principles including the spread of joy, growth and freedom through the universe, as well as new principles we cannot yet imagine.”
"Open-source and decentralised communities have an advantage when it comes to security, as more people look at bugs and integrate security mechanisms, similar to how Linux works."
"Not everything you would do at the AI level needs to be a smart contract, but having that portability between the AI level and the infrastructure level is great for flexibility."
“We will develop spacetime engineering and scientific "future magic" much beyond our current understanding and imagination.”
"An LLM is pretty general in what it can do, but it's not able to make creative and imaginative leaps beyond its preparation in the way that a person can."
"AI tools themselves have become accelerators of AI progress, making the work faster and faster — this is an indication that the singularity is indeed near."
"The fact that SciHub and Liben Bit Torrent are there indicates that the takeover of the internet by a few big governments and big tech companies is not actually complete."
"By having different shards of the ASI chain dedicated to different types of AI — from decentralised finance to training neural models — we can tailor the infrastructure for specific AI tasks."
"Having been around for the creation of Sophia and participating in the development of this Mindchild bort, It’s just remarkable how much faster this development can happen now than a year ago."
"If you train a neural net using evolutionary learning or predictive coding, you can get non-entangled representations that make it easier for the AI to introspect and understand its own actions."
”Current AI technologies like LLMs and convolutional neural networks are focused on effective absorption of large-scale training data and fulfilment of queries based on the information in this data.”
