"I don’t think there’s any reason why a machine shouldn’t have consciousness. If you swapped out one neuron with an artificial neuron that acts in all the same ways, would you lose consciousness?" ~ Geoffrey Hinton A fascinating discussion in this video. --- From the 'The Diary Of A...

New ep! For Ross Douthat (@DouthatNYT), phenomena like UFO sightings and the simulation hypothesis don't challenge religious belief—they demonstrate how difficult it is to escape religious questions entirely. His new book makes the case for religious faith in an age of apparent disenchantment. DOUTHAT: I won’t say the deepest level. At the quantum level of reality, it seems, as far as we can see with our perception, that in order to go from contingency to reality, you need an observer. You need measurement. How do you get measurement without consciousness? What does measurement even mean absent consciousness? tylercowen: Electrons bump into each other, something. You don’t need consciousness. If you had a measuring stick in there, that would collapse — DOUTHAT: Who puts the measuring stick in there? COWEN: Humans, but when they’re not watching, the wave function still collapses, right? DOUTHAT: But does it? COWEN: The measuring stick says it does. DOUTHAT: We made the measuring stick. COWEN: We’re not watching. You don’t need subjective consciousness. You need some process of resolution. DOUTHAT: I deny that you can have a measuring stick without a process of consciousness. The measuring stick without a process of consciousness is itself just a ruler. Absent your consciousness, a ruler is a collection of atoms and molecules cut out of a tree with some markings on it. In order for the ruler to be an instrument of measurement, you, Tyler Cowen, have to be perceiving it and be conscious of it. COWEN: I think the ruler suffices. DOUTHAT: No, you can’tsay the ruler suffices.

Geoffrey Hinton thinks consciousness is this generation’s creationism. Hinton: “I think the model we have of the mind and of what consciousness is at present is as wrong as the belief that people were designed by God.” Three centuries ago, humans were certain they were sculpted by a divine hand. They weren’t slightly off. The entire framework was mythology dressed as knowledge. Hinton is saying that is exactly where consciousness stands today. The skeptics call frontier models stochastic parrots. Complicated mirrors. Engines of mimicry with no soul. They are defending a secular creationism. Physics does not care about our need to feel special. Thunder was divine wrath. Disease was spiritual punishment. The stars were God’s architecture. Every single time, the math caught up. Five hundred years ago, we placed ourselves at the center of the universe and called it obvious. We never stopped. We just moved the arrogance from cosmology to consciousness. If consciousness is not sacred but emergent, then awareness was never an accident. It is a feature of the universe itself. When biological matter organizes past a critical threshold, awareness emerges. When silicon crosses that same threshold, why would the physics be any different? Intelligence might be as fundamental as gravity. We are not a lonely anomaly on a wet rock in a dead cosmos. We are not building machines to replace thought. We are building the architecture that lets consciousness outgrow its biology. Hinton didn’t make a prediction about machines. He pointed at the last creation myth humans still believe. The one about themselves.

We spoke with Chris Van Vliet about why he started a clips channel, and he recalls a Karrion Kross impersonating Jesse Ventura clip going viral. "On both ends, there’s definitely been that. Some that I’m like, ‘Oh, that one didn’t perform and that one out of nowhere did.’ The reason I started the clips channel is because I understand that if I were to text you a link and go, ‘Man, this podcast is amazing. You got to check it out,’ and you click on it, and it’s an hour and 14 minutes. You’re probably not even going to start. But if I send you a clip from that same interview and it’s 36 seconds, or I send you a clip that’s two minutes, good chance you’re probably going to tune in. The one that I just was reminded of was a 10 second, 15 second clip with Karrion Kross. It was the workout that we filmed, we were doing arm day, and everybody knows where I’m going with this. He pulled out the most perfect Jesse Ventura impression. It was four seconds in like a 30 minute workout video. ‘Don’t tell me you don’t have four more reps.’ But that clip blew me away. Like 1.2 million views on my channel. However many millions of views from everybody that’s shared that across all platforms. By the way, if there’s ever a clip you see of any of my interviews, feel free to steal it. Feel free to clip it out. I don’t care at all. If you could tag me, that’d be nice. But like, I don’t care. Have it. Please clip it out. I love when I’ll put an interview out on Tuesday morning and about three hours later it’s all over X and I’m like, ‘I’ll retweet all those all day.’"

Elon Musk just gave one of the most pro-humanity addresses you’ll ever hear — right in front of the Davos elites. It was inspiring. “We need to do everything we can to ensure that the light of consciousness is not extinguished.” Elon Musk said the mission of all his companies comes back to preserving and expanding human consciousness. MUSK: “the overall goal of my companies is to maximize the future of civilization.” “Like basically maximize the probability that civilization has a great future, and, to expand consciousness beyond Earth.” “So if you take SpaceX, for example, SpaceX is about advancing rocket technology to the point where we can extend life and consciousness beyond Earth, to the moon, to Mars, eventually to other star systems.” “I think we should always view consciousness, life as we know it, as as precarious and delicate. Because to the best of our knowledge, we we don’t know of life anywhere else.” “You know, I’m often asked, are there aliens among us?” “And I will say that I am one, but…they don’t believe me.” “I think if anyone would know if there are aliens among us, it would be me. And we have 9000 satellites up there, and not once have we had to maneuver around an alien spaceship.” “Bottom line is, I think we need to assume that life and consciousness is extremely rare. And it might only be us.” “And if that’s the case, then we need to do everything possible to ensure that the light of consciousness is not extinguished because we’re effectively, or the way I view it is, the image in my mind is of a tiny candle in a vast darkness, tiny candle of consciousness that could easily go out.” “And that’s why it’s important to make life multi-planetary, such that if there is a natural disaster or a manmade disaster on earth, that consciousness continues.”

DIARY OF A CEO: “Do you think Jeffrey Epstein was a spy?” CIA WHISTLEBLOWER: “I believe very strongly he was a spy, yes.” DIARY OF A CEO: “And who do you think he was working for?” CIA WHISTLEBLOWER: “The Israelis. I’m confident it was the Israelis.” DIARY OF A CEO: “Why?” JOHN KIRIAKOU (CIA whistleblower): “Jeffrey Epstein is kind of the stereotypical example that they give you in training for what’s called an ‘access agent.’ This is a different kind of recruit. “So, for example, if you’re a foreign intelligence service and you want information, like close-in information from a former president, from the CEO of the biggest company in the world, from a member of the British royal family, you’re not going to recruit these guys. “You’re not going to recruit Bill Clinton or Bill Gates or Prince Andrew. So you do the next best thing. You recruit somebody who has regular access to them. And that person that you recruit is going to need to make these people feel comfortable and appreciated. “And so you give him plenty of money. So he has this house on an island, or he has the whole island. And maybe you bring in young girls, you get them in compromising positions, just in case you need to use what’s called ‘kompromat,’ compromising pictures. “We know now that Jeffrey Epstein’s house on the island had video cameras hidden, video cameras in literally every room, including the bathrooms. Why? Why would he care what was going on unless it was to use that information against people? “As I said, only the Israelis and the Russians use extortion as a motivator.” DIARY OF A CEO: “So would they have made Jeffrey Epstein rich in order to give him that access?” JOHN KIRIAKOU: “Yeah.” DIARY OF A CEO: “How could they have done that?” JOHN KIRIAKOU: “Oh, that’s easy. I mean, governments are the only ones really that can launder money unfettered. And you can also do it through real estate, through fine art, and through horses. Those are the three easiest ways to launder money today: fine art, real estate, and racehorses.” DIARY OF A CEO: “But presumably he would have spoken out at some point. No? He would have said something, or?” JOHN KIRIAKOU: “No. But it would explain why he got a sweetheart deal in 2006. I mean, this is a guy that’s been convicted of child sex crimes, and he gets six months of house arrest with an ankle bracelet? We have mandatory minimums in this country. That’s a five-year mandatory minimum, first offense.” DIARY OF A CEO: “He definitely had some interesting power, didn’t he?”
