Take courses on how neural networks and large language models work on Brilliant. First 30 days are free and 20% off the annual premium subscription when you use our link ➜  https://brilliant.org/sabine. 

In this video I explain what I think are the minimal necessary ingredients for consciousness and have a look at whether ChatGPT, or any other large language models are conscious already. I also explain why I think that robots necessarily have a limited amount of consciousness.

I had a look at Leopold Aschenbrenners recent (very long) essay about the supposedly near "intelligence explosion" in artificial intelligence development. I am not particularly convinced by his argument. You can read his essay here: https://situational-awareness.ai/

Is the Intelligence-Explosion Near? A Reality Check.

Expand your scientific horizon with Brilliant! First 200 to use our link https://brilliant.org/sabine will get 20% off the annual premium subscription.

Today I have an update on the reproduction efforts for the supposed room temperature superconductor, LK 99, the first images from the Euclid mission, more trouble with Starlink satellites, first results from a new simulation for cosmological structure formation, how to steer drops with ultrasound, bacteria that make plastic, an improvement for wireless power transfer, better earthquake warnings, an attempt to predict war, and of course the telephone will ring.

Here is the link to the overview on the LK99 reproduction experiments that I mentioned: https://urlis.net/vesb75fq
