Thank you very much. I understand that you are helping me and appreciate it very much.
The point that I failed to make clear in the paper is that I’m not telling, “Look, here are brains in a dish playing pong and it’s cool.”
I’m trying to tell that there’s a mathematical algorithm that enables dishbrains to learn. Dishbrains just prove that the algorithm works with natural neurons embedded in digital environment. We can now use this algorithm to make both biological synthetic organisms and machines which will be sentient and able to talk to each other and to natural organisms in the same language.
There will be different technological hurdles depending on the substrate and the goal chosen but there are no more fundamental understanding problems which blocked the development of DNA based computer and block now the quantum computer development as well.
There are several labs lead by passionate scientists which work on SBI for many years. Fortune-hunters are joining the gang as they smell success. That’s the situation right now
In two months following our conversation in this white paper you can now find answers to all you questions and the roadmap of AGI development based of the first principle of SBI https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.01354
