LATEST EPISODE 🔗
Comparing ideas around "superintelligence" over the last decade. How have visions of what "SI" or "AI" or "ASI" and AGI evolved since Bostrom wrote "Superintelligence". This is the combination of various recent YouTube videos but counts as a sequel to part 1 found here: https://www.youtube.com/watc…
PREVIOUS EPISODES 🔗
A reaction to @CosmicSkeptic and @SabineHossenfelder discussing the nature, or even possibility of, genuine scientific explanation in this video: https://youtu.be/KWBm0_1QBDs?si=3JwIDGAtumO3mfBz Which of them is correct? Or are they both wrong? What counts as an explanation? What counts as a sc…
This is Part 1 of 2 where I compare and contrast what philosophers were saying about the possibility of "Super Intelligence" many years ago with respect to the discourse today. What did Nick Bostrom say over a decade ago, and what is he saying today? How is the discourse being framed and what are t…

Why the pessimism and catastrophism? What can be done? Quite a few slides are referred to, but I do read through them. Incase …
Youtuber Warren Smith of https://www.youtube.com/@SecretScholars made some remarks about the double slit experiment. I assess his claims.

I have clipped the approximately 60 seconds worth of material I am narrowly responding to for fair use in this commentary. The case unpacked is, roughly, that morality can be dis…
A analysis in Popperian style of Candace Owens' "mode" of debate and discussion, approach to evidence and thinking and a comparison to the more mainstream evaluations of this debate.
All about the distant future. What does cosmology tell us about the fate of the universe, life and intelligence in some ultimate sense? Frank Tipler's The Omega Point Theory is the primary focus, but throughout we consider the centrality of The Turing Principle for predictions about the future of t…
What do our best explanations tell us about the ultimate ends of the universe? What is the difference between forming a world view about any one of the four strands (evolution, epistemology, quantum physics or computation) versus taking all four of them seriously?
