We don't have the biggest brain. We have about 100 Billion neurons, whereas an elephant has twice that. Now, perhaps we have the most gray matter per body mass, but we do not have the biggest brain per se.
Science is only going to teach about how mechanical things work,it's not going to teach you anything else. It seems that from the beginning that's all science has been able to acomplish. Show me one discovery that science has made that has any insight into consciousness, or intelligence, or feelings, etc.
@cmpresents Are you kidding? Neuroscience, and artificial intelligence have tons of things to teach us about consciousness and intelligence. We aready have an idea how many brain functions work. This book I'm reading (On Intelligence by Jeff Hawkins) proposes a whole theory of consciousness and intelligence based on the human brain. Evolutionary psychology teaches us alot about human nature. If you think science is only about "mechanical things", you just don't know enough about science.
@cmpresents Try, Sigmund Freud, circa 1885. Where have you been for the last century? There's all sorts of amazing research going on, it'd be a real shame to turn your back on it all :(
@cmpresents are you serious? news for you, broha: all that we are is mechanical. you are not as unique as you would like yourself to believe. as much as you would like to think your own thoughts and emotions define you as having a soul or some self identity that is independent of physical properties, you're wrong. every emotion you have, every memory, every concept you take in as your reality is nothing more than chemical reactions and electricity in your brain. just like a computer.
It's funny how the word sentience is in the title of you video, but you totally ignore the importance of it in your presentation, and that's why you ppl will never understand that machines can't think and will never think, and it's because they are not sentient. Sentience or consciousness is the key to life, any life. Without that you have nothing but a calculator. I see how all you kids are brainwashed by "science". You are so brainwashed you can't think outside your box. You science teacher t
@cmpresents Being educated with science is certainly better than being rendered useless by religion. So far, your theory ("Just add consciousness and shake!") hasn't shown to be very insightful.
As far as having nothing but a big calculator, I invite you to watch Jeopardy from February 14 to 16 ;)

look up lectures and talks by one jeff hawkings (right here on youtube) and info about a company called numenta; he has a very interesting theory, basically stating that intelligence stems from the ability to make predictions and to perceive the world in a hierarchical manner (making generalizations); he says the algorithms they propose allegedly mimic the function of the human neocortex;
theres also a book about his theory, called "on intelligence"; might be outdated by now;
I have to admit- I enjoyed this a bit more than quite a few of the more transition related videos!
I was actually surprised I understood it as much as I did! Since I plan to major in Computer Science & Engineering, I'd love to see more videos of this sort!! =3
@Nades129 I think the problem with the AI folks is that they should at least begin with examining the brain's processes, and at least try to emulate it. Like the Airplane it doesn't copy the birds natural anatomy, it only draws inspiration from it; like the wings.
Nice presentation, sometimes the reason progress isn't being made/completed is because the right math isn't being utilized. Intelligence and the idea of an intelligence interacting with an external reality, screams chaos. Chaos theory, if it hasn't already, will probably be a promising avenue for AI research. Obviously higher level intelligence goes beyond singular dimension causal reasoning, and therefore will have to employ some fuzzy logic, relativistic reasoning.
I was forced to study computational linguistics it's verry hard to trully make machines talk and interact. I don't think machines will ever be able to talk like humans as we need creativity to a certain extent. I think that machines will have thier own unique way of talking. I can talk about linquistics forever.
i think that AI is all in the vision and quantum computers, that is what I have read.Very interesting stuff, and i agree with you if keep trying they will be a huge asset to humanity and change us as people forever, and possibly it might be our next big step in evolution
My education in AI isn't much, but its the field I am determined to pursue. I've got both AI and Psychology at undergraduate level next year, so I hope that will be a good start.
But this was a good video that gave me more to think about. Thanks.
you should get more into psychology, to get a better understanding of the different aspect of the brain (for example, emotion is actually a filter which allows us to make choices), after all, while working with AI we are trying to model the human brain.
Congratulations on your PhD program! I wish you the best of luck in it! (Sorry about the previous comments - after experiencing an interval of total recall, I realized that our memory is limitless (Or may have limits, but it seems that nature has its own technique for appending new data)).
We could dismiss any faith in total recall - or that by default, our brain captures every signal interpreted (i.e. every moment of our life, or at least - the greater majority (Perhaps 90% - with the 10% being the exception of various issues that may transpire)), and succumb to the short-term/long-term storage, but -- from personal experiences with hypnosis, and attempting to acquire photographic memory, I've noticed how that what I thought was gone, is all still there.
But, we could also look at our predecessors, and how some are capable of photographic memory - and then observe how the mind evolved, to interpret reality. There are also various individuals, such as 'Kim peek' whom are capable of reciting to every - or 90%, of data stored in their brain, suggesting that every experience is stored - both conscious and subconscious (their brain, although wired discretely, has no more neurons than ours).
Please don't think that you need to apologize for making a long video, or that each video you make need be directly (or indirectly) related to transition.
I found this video fascinating. Please take the time to make more videos about your research and your other interests.
Interesting Video and congrats on getting in on a great field of study. I have thought of what the computer/robotics could develop further but since i have attention deficit disorder i could never do the schooling to be at a PHD level. Well at least you can fill the void for me( Smiles)
Congratulations on the PhD program! Excellent video, BTW, and fascinating subject matter. I think it's great that you're going into a field you have a strong interest in.
Hey great video. Do you think there is any link between transgenderism and high intelligence. I only ask because it seems that most of my ts friends are.
Emotion is intelligence, and there is some work being done in the grade school level on emotional intelligence and how it affects learning.
Amazing and fascinating subject, I enjoyed listening to you!
The Japanese are doing some amazing work also with robotics.
When I think of AI, yes, I do think of HAL, I also think about the computer from Star Trek, and how the crew relied on it so much, how it had not only information, or just produced raw facts, the crew would sometimes ask the computer to "extrapolate" - they wanted the computer to "think through" possible solutions on the given problem.
Have you heard of that guy Steve Grand? I saw him give a talk once at my Uni, he also showed some vids of the virtual creatures that you described here, which were quite beautiful at times. I remember almost crying with joy as I watched this poly blob which had evolved a simple limb like protrusion, successfully grab some food for itself, was so sweet! His book Creation... had some wonderful analogies in it, but may be a little light on math for you tastes I dont know. x
No problem ;) This guy Grand is also the designer/programmer of the game Creatures which you may be familiar with. I was never really into that I have to admit, just didn't like the look of it. His Robot Orang Utan is quite nice.
I think you should be. If you put machines on the same level as us, with the ability to feel the same emotions, wants and needs, then you also subject them to the same faults as humans have. In other words, if machines feel things like greed, envy and wrath, they could use those emotions as autonomous beings to turn on their creators. You want to create robots who feel consciousness and emotions like humans do, and if there's good and bad humans, wouldn't there be good and bad robots too?
The thing is, we can engineer those "wants and needs". We can create robots with an inherent need to care for humans. Furthermore, assuming that all machines would side together in some kind of uprising may also be illogical.
I'm not saying all machines would band together to overthrow humanity, just like all humans don't band together to overthrow oppressive regimes. It happens in select pockets here and there, and the same could be said for robots advanced enough to think and feel on the same level as humans. The very nature of you being a scientist is that you're never 100% sure of the outcome. If you want AI, there could be unintended consequences. You should be prepared either way.
Terminator was a really specific set of circumstances that led to a AI go against its creators. in that case, Skynet was linked to the whole US Military, including nuclear warheads. Guess what happens when somebody wants to pull the plug on Skynet? Of course it retaliates with all available assets. The chance of a real world Ai turning out like that are minimal. For one, current computers cannot support true sentience on the level of a human being, atm. Not enough memory or parallel processing.
We do have supercomputers with thousands of processors and multiple terabytes of RAM, however...
People will claim that's insufficient computational power for sentience, but the fact is, sentience won't arise out of sheer computing power. The sentience isn't in the computer per-se, it's in the software that runs on it.
I know somewhat of those "supercomputers", but even they are insufficient. If the AI cannot store all the information it needs to RAM on startup, it won't be very efficient to run either, which is why AI's of today usually excel at 1 task or two. I know from my experience of modding AI for computer games, that executing the code that is stored on hard drive is very slow(Homeworld 2 has its AI stored in .lua files for example), as the data is accessed based on physical location, unlike with RAM.
Like I said, we have supercomputers with multiple terabytes of RAM. That doesn't bring us anywhere closer to a solution to "the AI problem". The AI problem is not a computer engineering issue. As for lua scripts, they reside in RAM once they're parsed, like any sane scripting language.
Well, i've never had a problem with the software side, but then again I dabble in smaller subsection of AI programming. To my observation, the human mind is capable of storing way more than even these supercomputers can. We are talking about thousands, if not millions of terabytes of memory here. Are you sure a measly 5 to 10 terabytes is going to enable humans to create intelligence that rivals that of their own?
For the current top supercomputers, we're talking 50TB+ of RAM. As for the wonders of human memory, let me ask you for a list of everything you ate on November 6th 2002.
Human memory is a lossy system, and not the most impressive feature of the human mind. A powerful modern PC could store millions of pictures, movies, textbooks, etc. with perfect accuracy. Something you clearly can't do.
*The problem* is that no computer program can really *understand* all that information.
You don't think that possibly my mind (or yours) has stored a list of everything you and I ate respectively on November 6th 2002 and that the reason why we can't remember it is because we don't understand how to properly retrieve the information? The potential for computers and software is limitless but I don't want to shortchange my brain just yet...
That data is still stored in our brain - it's our awareness that intervenes with how it's perceived. For instance, if you watch a film, and then attempt to replay it a week later, and given your current situation, a number of variables would reduce the clarity of the memory. Initially, it would be our awareness bound to the external environment - when switched to this, we see what's outside, as opposed to that which is inside, thus our memory is somewhat reduced.
Secondly, our conscious mind also intervenes with how the memory is percieved - our confidence, or rather, faith in as to whether the memory is still there, has an impact. Finally, our interpretation impacts on how the memory is viewed - it's all there, it's how we percieve it that differs. When bound to the present, our brain tells us that now is now, and the past is the past - we need to find a way to tell ourselves that our prior experiences are also of the present.
Grats on getting into school! I happen to agree with everything you said. I like your idea of evolution taking place inside computer programs. I never really considered that before. Thx for sharing your thoughts regarding this matter.
Hey congratulations on getting into a PhD program. I think its cool that you do these vblogs that show your other interests in life. You should do one in makeup soon though you seem to always have good makeup.

Humans are no more than biological machine so is possible to emulate humans including the brain.
I guess it will not be long until a 1000$ machine that uses about the same amount of power (100W to 500W) will be as intelligent as we are.
Singularity will happen if everything continue to advance the same way before 2050 my hope is 2040 or sooner :).

To my observation, the human mind is capable of storing way more than even these supercomputers can. We are talking about thousands, if not millions of terabytes of memory here. Are you sure a measly 5 to 10 terabytes is going to enable humans to create intelligence that rivals that of their own?

For the current top supercomputers, we're talking 50TB+ of RAM. As for the wonders of human memory, let me ask you for a list of everything you ate on November 6th 2002.
Human memory is a lossy system, and not the most impressive feature of the human mind. A powerful modern PC could store millions of pictures, movies, textbooks, etc. with perfect accuracy. Something you clearly can't do.
*The problem* is that no computer program can really *understand* all that information.

Well, I want to thank you for taking your time to educate me, it seems my knowledge base is a little outdated now.

You don't think that possibly my mind (or yours) has stored a list of everything you and I ate respectively on November 6th 2002 and that the reason why we can't remember it is because we don't understand how to properly retrieve the information? The potential for computers and software is limitless but I don't want to shortchange my brain just yet...

Human memory is very selective.

That data is still stored in our brain - it's our awareness that intervenes with how it's perceived. For instance, if you watch a film, and then attempt to replay it a week later, and given your current situation, a number of variables would reduce the clarity of the memory. Initially, it would be our awareness bound to the external environment - when switched to this, we see what's outside, as opposed to that which is inside, thus our memory is somewhat reduced.

Secondly, our conscious mind also intervenes with how the memory is percieved - our confidence, or rather, faith in as to whether the memory is still there, has an impact. Finally, our interpretation impacts on how the memory is viewed - it's all there, it's how we percieve it that differs. When bound to the present, our brain tells us that now is now, and the past is the past - we need to find a way to tell ourselves that our prior experiences are also of the present.

Grats on getting into school! I happen to agree with everything you said. I like your idea of evolution taking place inside computer programs. I never really considered that before. Thx for sharing your thoughts regarding this matter.

Just don't create Skynet, Cylons, or Colossus the Forbin Project.

Hey congratulations on getting into a PhD program. I think its cool that you do these vblogs that show your other interests in life. You should do one in makeup soon though you seem to always have good makeup.
