Learning about Learning

Here we are creating a mental model of how learning occurs. It is a get-in, get-out, don’t-f-about type of model. We skip the low-down explanations of neurons and move straight to representations. How do representations form? how do they interconnect? And how do they contribute to learning?

Relationships between representations.

The argument for and against open sourcing ASI

If we assume that we truly are innovating our way to artificial super intelligence (ASI)… should we open source it? Should every person with an internet connection be able to download the latest ASI attempt? The internet has collapsed this important discussion into a black and white slug fest… but right here, right now, lets try and ...

The three laws:

For most people, debt is a fact of life. Used responsibly, debt can be a useful financial tool that allows us to afford big purchases like cars, homes, and education. Loans and credit provide access to money we don't currently have, but allow us to pay it back over time.

However, debt becomes problematic when it grows uncontrolled. H...

Open-sourced Morality Training Environments

Intelligence is like fire: incredibly useful but devastating if pointing in the wrong direction.

Some people believe that with intelligence comes morality. But this intuition is generally considered wrong by the AI community. There is no reason to believe that intelligent systems develop morality.
