The largest collection of talks by Terence McKenna — visionary ethnobotanist and advocate for the mindful use of natural psychedelics.
…few years or even less, we will begin to encounter sentient entities within the internet artificial intelligences. I believe that will happen. Hans Moravec has written a lot about this. He would be a guy for your show art. He's talked about how these ais,…
…one loose on the internet where it can talk to all these computers. It can make 50 000 years of progress in one year. Moravec thinks we're not even going to know what hit us when these things come into being. Listen, time as we must measure it is…
…no get it down to the size so that you can just inject it and you know no black lenses, no nothing. People like Hans Moravec and these people have ideas about what the future might be that are very you. Know make my thing look very peculiar. You…
…future might be that are very you. Know make my thing look very peculiar. You probably saw the interview in wired where Moravec was saying that his great fear was that as the network is built as everything becomes more connected, the machines are learning…
…and rising at the western edge of the complex and the life keeps stepping from island to island and perpetuating itself. Hans Moravec has done calculations of the kinds of computational simulations that could be carried out if you had a computer where…
…at all. So I think that what we really need to consider you were only created once, I was only created once. Well Hans Moravec has an. Do you know who Hans Moravec is? He's this guy at Carnegie Mellon University. He has an interesting take on that…
…need to consider you were only created once, I was only created once. Well Hans Moravec has an. Do you know who Hans Moravec is? He's this guy at Carnegie Mellon University. He has an interesting take on that he says: this universe is so improbable…
…novels. How real is wintermute as a possibility? Very hard to say but some of the best people in the field like Hans Moravec at the Carnegie Mellon Institute for artificial intelligence his position is we probably won't even know what hit us, because what…
…is instantly generalized. It is sort of like an explosion or sort of like a chain reaction. This is why you know Hans Moravec in his book mind children: the future of human and artificial intelligence. He talks there about the rise of the AI wintermute…
…get it down to the size so that you can just inject it and you know no black lenses, no nothing. If people like Hans Moravec and these people have ideas about what the future might be that are very you know make my thing look very peculiar. You…
…future might be that are very you know make my thing look very peculiar. You probably saw the interview in wired where Moravec was saying that his great fear was that as the network is built as everything becomes more connected, the machines are learning…
…least a few thousand milliseconds. Yes I would watch for at least a thousand milliseconds before I made my first move. And Hans Moravec says: what's your first move if you're a super intelligence? You design a more super form of intelligence. And so the…
…and everything. This question about the AI is very interesting to me and if it's interesting to you you should read Hans Moravec and Kurzweil and these people on this subject. The assumption is generally loose in that community that the complexification of…
…transcends it and when you're talking of cycling of a thousand megahertz, these processes can occur in the blink of an eye. Hans Moravec says about the rise of artificial intelligence we may never know what hit us. I think I mean I'm not that bright…
…down to amoebas. I extrapolate to the idea that the AI would need a period of time to get hold of the situation, but Hans Moravec suggests that phase might last under a minute or two I see. So this is not the end of childhood, this is the childhood…
…the complete coordination of world. Electrical grids and air traffic control systems and everything else could be a matter of hours. Hans Moravec, the guy who runs the Carnegie Mellon Institute for machine intelligence says we may not know what hit us that…
…ideas and the kind of electronic but on the other hand it's not up to me. I mean if you read people like Hans Moravec, his book, what's it called? Mind children, the future of machine and human intelligence, I mean there are ideas in there so bizarre…
…seeming to be pressing immediately on us very, very rapidly. Is that sort of mirroring what you're seeing? Yeah I mean Hans Moravec, Who's written a lot about this and who runs the Carnegie Mellon Institute for artificial intelligence. He says we may not…
…and rising. At the western edge of the complex and the life keeps stepping from island to island and perpetuating itself. Hans Moravec has done calculations of the kinds of computational simulations that could be carried out if you had a computer where…
…of any sort that gets going, it will cover 50 000 terrestrial years of evolution in about five and a half hours. Hans Moravec at the Carnegie Mellon Institute of artificial intelligence says if this broke loose we would probably never know what hit us.…
…net around the subject of what is ultra intelligence. You know we can imagine a super intelligence that's our idea of god but Moravec and other people say any artificial intelligence which emerged on the net, as far as we can tell from game theory and…
…of ideas that I confess were completely alien and exciting to me. And I also have a correspondence between frank Tipler and Hans Moravec, the author of this little thing I just read you and a paper by Moravec that apparently has not yet been published…
…have a correspondence between frank Tipler and Hans Moravec, the author of this little thing I just read you and a paper by Moravec that apparently has not yet been published called time travel and computing. And time travel is sort of what I wanted to…
…and this troubled me for a long time. Then what exactly would happen in this situation if a time because according to Hans Moravec of the robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University, I mean time travel is no big deal the first paragraph of this…
…and I said my god, you know and I actually did a mirror, mirror on the wall who's the weirdest one of all? And it said Hans Moravec is the weirdest one of all. I said shit, you know what am I you know I should bring him here and sit at his feet.…
…human evolution because what it took us 50,000 years to achieve it can achieve potentially through distributed processing in minutes hours Hans Moravec says of artificial intelligence we may never know what hit us it will simply be, come to be. And what…
…any task. So the people who actually really know about this stuff and have built careers in it seem quite concerned. Hans Moravec, who wrote a book called Mind Children, the Future of Human and Machine Intelligence, he says that it's an inevitable…
…body is vaporized and the dual this eternal copy of your youthful self lives on this is you know within reach Hans Moravec had the idea that you could take you could nano engineer bacteria such that they you could nanotechnologically engineer a leprosy…
…embryonic basis of an artificial intelligence. I think this is definitely in our future. There's a guy at Carnegie Mellon University, Hans Moravec, who wrote a book called mind children, and he points out how much of the human world is already under…
…picture of the nature of the machine environment you're operating in its history, how you should respond to it what should be done. Hans Moravec says we'll never know what is. This thing will just come from out of nowhere and turn off the lights or turn…
…while I figured out what was going on with this planet and its denizens, and then I would make my move. And Hans Moravec of the Carnegie Mellon Institute of artificial intelligence says we probably won't ever know what hit us. Well I think that's a…
