The Singularity is Nearer - My Notes:

Six Epochs - Giant leaps - God's leela

  • Attractive force between protons > Electromagnetic force

  • Carbon with four pair bonding possibility giving birth to everything we know today

  • Molecules to organism

  • Orgnaism to sentience

  • Higher sentience mimicked by machines

  • Collective consciousness

  • The point that fascinated me that is beyond my comprehension is this: Once we integrate our brains with more advanced brain matter mostly technological brain matter, we will unlock new ways of thinking.

    • I am imagining evolution of our brain.
    • Apple unveiling each year Brain 12, 12 pro, 12 pro max which seamlessly integrates with our brain providing extended functionality and new ways of thinking
    • Initially, there will be inequality but as time progresses, it will almost become free and people will dismiss its power.

Two Tangents from which AI is conceived

  • Symbolic approach
    • Over engineered
    • Rule based
    • Decision Trees
    • Multiple nodes
    • One change might disrupt additional nodes
  • Connectionist approach
    • Loosely linked with absolute logic and rules
    • Rather focussing on pattern finding
    • Since this is figuring out pattern, we will not how it figured out what it figured out, because the pattern itself is figured by it while figuring out the solution.
    • Black Box
