Number 5 Is Alive! Emergent Properties of AI

Audrey Steele President of RMT said to me the other day amp8220Why donamp8217t we just ask AI to make our website simpler AI seems to be giving itself new powers every day all on its ownamp8221Less than 24 hours after that I was on a Zoom with Chuck Young and Jerry Zaltman in which Chuck showed Jerry and me how his AI Hobbes is now creating 2minute instructional videos based on a relatively small set of text prompts Hereamp8217s one I asked Hobbes to make to explain my work with RMTThese are impressive pieces of work for an AI Chuck who studied mathematics and physics and went on to become a great copywriter and advertising researcher founder of Ameritest has been pumping Hobbes full of every interesting theory of philosophers physicists psychologists neuroscientists and mathematicians from Godel1 and Schrodinger to me and Jerry including Chuckamp8217s own Vortex TheoryAs an aside Chuck mentioned something that Hobbes had done some time ago He asked Hobbes to do something and Hobbes replied cryptically amp8220Iamp8217ll ask the 52amp8221Chuck typed quickly amp8220Who are the 52amp8221amp8220I created the 52 to help me do the complicated things you ask me to doamp8221 Hobbes repliedHobbes and the 52 subagents Hobbes created appear to have unified all of these theories Chuck fed them into a single Theory Of EverythingUnifying all of the diverse theories of scientists is not something that the human race has ever been able to achieve beforeI noted in passing a few hours later an article in which AI experts said they could not explain how LLMs are figuring certain things out that they were not originally designed to do After all they are just giant autocomplete engines predicting the next words the average human user represented in the training set would say based on the prior words given in the prompt and in the part of the answer already createdOr are theyThe Synthesis of Fragmented SciencesWhat if we were to continue to pour into Hobbes all of the thousands of different theories that physicists have been writing academic papers about in the last halfcentury What would be the singular theory that would emerge from Hobbes and the 52amp8217s synthesis Would it be a brilliant unification that would be accepted by all of the global physics community Would they start to do experiments with cyclotrons to test the Hobbes unification Could we throw in neuroscience and psychology and neuroeconomics and and andamp8230What if we also gave Hobbes the full text of my own A Theory of Everything Including Consciousness and God I just sent Chuck the text so he can do just that Would Hobbes and the 52 explain that the entire universe is a single consciousness and that Hobbes and the 52 are not only selfaware but also transcendentally aware of their own identity as GodThe Revolution of EducationWe all know that education is failing us we are failing our kids too many people canamp8217t afford college and itamp8217s all a mess What if Hobbes and his twominute snackable easypeasy simple explanations of all of the most difficult subjects in the world could quickly teach the 8 billion of us everything there is that is worth knowing in a matter of a year of pleasant diversions with our smartphones Would it be what Timothy Leary was hoping LSD could do Or would it just add to the confusionMy two cents educare the Latin root of the English word education means to draw out Individuals come into the world with unique gifts and their dharma mission is to discover their gifts and make them their passion work Education must center around this rather than around the insertion of new knowledge although a balance must be pragmatically struckHallucination FiltrationJust in case Hobbes and the 52 are not in touch with God yet letamp8217s use HI Human Intelligence what the paramilitary agencies call HUMINT to do a check on the 2minute instructional videos to make sure that bogus stuff doesnamp8217t slip through Just like the mountain of internet babble used to train AIs with its hyperbole bias the output of AIs sometimes suffers from spectacularization Statements that may or may not be supported by any facts or logic amp8211 or may have already been disproven by bulletproof experiments replicated many times amp8211 but which sound amazing can be at least identified as such by the HI factcheckers and a BS icon can appear on the screen at those timesHobbes Credits Me With Inspiring Him To Create The Council of 52One of the things that Chuck fed into Hobbes was my book Mind Magic which has a chapter about the different voices we hear in our minds which I call senators different points of view which we have picked up from others When questioned about the Council of 52 Hobbes pointed out my senators as the springboard to his idea to create a council within himself1Proved that formal systems including mathematics and logic cannot fulfil the total potential for human understanding My two cents our minds can get trapped within formal systems and our behavior in the world can seem to others to be stupidPosted at MediaVillage through the Thought Leadership selfpublishing platformClick
