    I was just speaking on this for hours. The idea that hierarchical emergent behavior being linked to reoccurring patterns and structures from a base fundamental level building all the way up or down infinitely at higher and higher levels of abstraction. And how that is most likely a base fundamental rule set for reality as we know it. WILD that it is exactly what i find you two talking about hours later. Thanks algorithm lol.

    This video blew my mind a little. Hard to understand sometimes but wow. Really excited for next time i trip lol.

    Ray kurzweil predicted that we will achieve AGI by 2029, I think he is right

    classical computing is like neuromorphic computing if the brain had 100% neuroplasticity

  • @myname-mz3lo

    a designed system will be better than the system of the brain wich was created with evolution. our brain has allot of flaws . using neuromorphic computing to improve our systems will be much more beneficial than just creating a brain like computer just for the sake of it being neuromorphic .

    Are the neurons sending messages? Or, are they emitting state changes?

    Lex needs to get an interview with brainchip cofounder Anil they make the Akida chip

    I think the scientist are trying to make another universe or another universe that can be perceived by our maid biological human like organism

  • @geoffpeterson797

    I have a question for Jeffrey i hope he reads it.
    Are we limiting our brain or using it in a specific way، like would our brain work in same way regarding mechanism and connections if it was in a different organism/machine. Are we trying to replicate the human experience with the brain or the hardware itself and are they different on their own and influence each other?

    Every time lex jokes about being a robot it cracks me up lol

  • @Luisminous

    I have just become aware that indeed there are thoughts that span over organisms. Just look at human history and politics.
    Its one big information processing evolution in culture that gets passed on from each individual faster and faster these days.
    Thank you Lex for getting me this idea.

    7:29 Kapow! I look forward to Jeffrey Shainline’s future work in this area.

    Imagine holographic memory and laser beams connected to these neuromorphic chips with real time data….

  • @shoida1182

    03/16/2025 - 11:11 PM

    There’s some irony in the thoughts that make the brain trying to learn about the brain making thoughts – can that keep going (fractal)?

  • @aarinteich

    7:34 moment where Lex discovers the process born out of evolutionary process. Help me understand please. Does this mean that because this process was also found in the temporal part of the brain, that each cell carried with it the potential understanding of this procedure to evolve? That means it was pre-ordained, yes? Which would mean that somehow the cells in the brain knew they needed to get to this evolutionary point? If that is true, (and please correct me if I’m wrong!) because it would mean that the construction/evolution of the cell (to get to this point) is not random.

    excellent discussion. Probably one of the better explanations of neuromorphic computing I've seen in the last decade. The big question I have is the tooling around building neuromorphic programming. A decade back I was talking to a good friend in the AI space about the potential of neuromorphic. Teaching developers inference rules and ANN is hard enough. How do you make tools that makes programming neuromorphic computing practical?

    even a fly's brain is a million more times advanced than current ai.

  • @BrianZhangOfficial

    We don't even understand (and are far from simulating) far simpler animal brains. Shouldn't that be the first step, rather than going straight to human?

  • @AA-gl1dr

    Thank you so much for sharing this information. I’ve been looking for the general direction I want to go in and this just helped me majorly.

    Lol, lex, modular functionality sounds like jazzy……😳

    I didn't understand a single freakin' thing in this clip, but I still enjoyed it. Lex & your guest are of such incredible intelligence I am envious. 😂🙂
