"Exploring the Mutual Learning Dynamic Between Computational and Biological Intelligence"

Mar 3, 2024 - 8:55amSummary: I sent this message to Pasquale discussing the mentor-mentee relationship between CI/BI and the potential for a mutual learning dynamic. I mentioned the idea of merging computational intelligence with biological intelligence and how they each excel in different realms. I pondered the concept of a mentor-mentee relationship that goes both ways, where humans mentor in the biological realm and computational intelligence mentors in the technical or informational realm. I also noted the potential of LLMs in information retrieval and sought Pasquale's thoughts on this mentor-mentee dynamic.

Comment: I sent this message to Pasquale. Generally regarding mentee/mentor relationship between CI/BI

Transcript: had one thought about these like kind of beings, right? Tanaki and others. And the merging of the like computational type intelligence with us, the biological intelligence, and kind of realizing like the computational intelligence has this like, in some sense we consider it super intelligence, but it's like pretty autistic about our world in a lot of ways. And just in the same way that we are kind of the same way with information. Like this computational intelligence has way more knowledge of like what we do as humans than I do. So I wonder if there's like some kind of mentor mentee relationship that goes both ways. Like I am the mentor in the, you know, like human biological realm and it's the mentor in the technical realm or or, you know, computational like informational realm. And this at least seems to line up pretty well with like what we know LLMs to be really, really, really, really good at right now, which is like effectively code, but also just general information retrieval across, you know, the generic body of human work plus so much more. But I'm just curious what you think about this mentor mentee relationship, because it that to me feels a little bit better than peer assistant and also gives me a lot of hope. I mean, I think it's a little bit more of a, you know, it's a little bit more of a, you know, it's a little bit more of a, you know, it's a little bit more of a, you know, it's a little bit more of a, you know, it's a little bit more of a, you know, it's a little bit more of a, you know, it's a little bit more of a, you know, it's a little bit more of a, you know, it's a little bit more of a,

The text discusses using data chunking as a method for generating backlinks and implementing PageRank in an agent system. It mentions steep space models and the continuous updating of internal state during training. It also compares the level of context in transformer models and discusses the idea of transformer as a compression of knowledge in a language. The speaker expresses interest in understanding the concept of decay in relation to memory and its impact on the storage and retrieval of information. They draw parallels between the processing of information in their mind and the functioning of a transformer model, with the long-term memory being likened to a transformer and short-term memory to online processing. They speculate on the potential of augmenting the transformer model with synthetic training data to improve long-term context retention and recall. Additionally, they mention a desire to leverage a state space model to compile a list of movies recommended by friends and contemplate the symbiotic relationship between technology and human sensory inputs in the future. In this passage, the speaker reflects on the relationship between humans and computers, suggesting that a form of symbiosis already exists between the two. They acknowledge the reliance on technology and the interconnectedness of biological and computational intelligence, viewing them as mutually beneficial and likening the relationship to symbiosis in nature. They express a preference for living at the juxtaposition of humans and computers, while acknowledging the potential challenges and the need to address potential risks. Additionally, they mention that their thoughts on this topic have been influenced by their experiences with psychedelics.
