"Large Language Model"

for - key insight - language - need new language structure - to speak from connectedness - instead of separateness

for - key insight - language - sharing perspectival knowledge

for - unlearning language - key insight - language - cannot recapture same process we used as child - cannot recapture the same processes we used to learn to speak language for the very first time - basically, we lose access to that original vocal learning circuit as an adult - question - language learning - what is this vocal learning circuit of an infant? - why do we lost access to the vocal learning circuit we had as a child? - observation - clue - language - accidental world recall and substitution - a clue to how we remember words - I wrote the above sentence "why do we lost access to the vocal learning circuit we had as a child?" when I meant to write: - "why do we LOSE access to the vocal learning circuit we had as a child?' - This very observation also has the same mistake: - "observation - clue - language - accidental world" instead of: - observation - clue - language - accidental WORD"! - I've noticed this accidental word substitution when we are in the midst of automatically composing sentences quite often and have also wondered about it often. - I think it offers an important clue about how we remember words, and that is critical for recall for using language itself. - We must store words in clusters that are indicated by the accidental recall

for - key insight - similarity of waking and dream state - How can - wake experiences be direct reflections of the sensory world at that moment while - comparable dream experiences are created by the brain based on novel combinations of fragments of memories from the past? - The answer must be that our experiences are always constructed by the brain; the very same processing that - gives us dreams - gives us waking experiences of reality. - In other words, our brains do not need incoming sensory input to produce realistic experiences. - Our waking experiences are the way that they are - not because of sensory input but - because of the functional capabilities of the human brain. -The MToC argues that the functional capability that produces our experience of reality, whether - we are awake - or asleep, - is the explicit memory system. - During sleep, we speculate that our brains are simply carrying on with functioning - akin to what happens when we are awake. - The typical modes of action of the human brain persist across wake and sleep. - While we are awake, our brains are producing a stream of experiences of being in the world, punctuated by thoughts. - While we are asleep, without the tremendous barrage of sensory input to constrain experience, perhaps our brains tend to return to these waking habits, - producing a stream of experiences in the world punctuated by thoughts.

for - key insight - paraphrase - adjacency - memory consolidation - sleep - massive unconscious parallel processing - From a memory perspective, - sleep can be understood as critically important for normal memory function, - given the lasting ramifications of consolidation. - Consolidation is the establishment of new connections - anchoring recent memories within relevant knowledge networks - While consolidation happens, some conscious experience (the dream) may be synthesized as the memory processing unfolds - Dreams reflect a storyline generated to make sense of a subset of activated memory fragments. - Consolidation that wires new connections happens across the entire cerebral context, without the constraints that come with conscious experience. - Unconscious processing during sleep takes advantage of massive parallel processing to connect all these thoughts together. - Dreams reflect a small portion of overnight memory consolidation work.

They're not the truth. - No scientific theory, my theories included, are the truth. - And so also is my theory about who I am not the truth. - So to really let go of any theory, if I can really let go of any theory of who I am, then I'll let go of any fear

for - quote / key insight - consciousness has created the brain as an icon to describe how it's creating this headset - Donald Hoffman

for - key insight / quote - the reason to love your neighbor - Donald Hoffman - The reason to love your neighbor as yourself is because - your neighbor IS YOUR (TRUE) SELF, just with a different headset. - And the only reason we have problems is - we don't realize how incredible you are. - So you are that which is creating this VR simulation with all of its beauty, all of its complexity. - All the complexity is you and you're doing it effortlessly.

adjacency - infinite intelligence - hologram metaphor - your neighbor is your (true) self - Deep Humanity motto - Join together (instead of Join us) - face behind the mask - Reflecting on this, it occurred to me that the Deep Humanity motto of "Join together, NOT join me/us" is deeply connected to what is being discussed in this annotation. - The problem with "joining me" is that it reflects we are still stuck in the ego reification paradigm while "join together" reflects awareness that the boundless intelligence is the true face behind the mask of each different species and each different individual of each species

for - key insight / quote - the reified ego is the root cause of all the problems in the world - we reify because we don't know who we REALLY are - Donald Hoffman - All the egoic stuff that we do causes all the problems in the world because - you don't know who you are. - You're creating this whole thing. - You're not a little player. - You're the inventor of this whole thing. - You have nothing to prove and - you don't need to be better than anybody else. - They're also master creators. - They're creating entire universes that they perceive as well. - And my own take on on this is that - you and I are really the same one reality - just looking at itself through two different headsets, - two different avatars and having a conversation. - And maybe that's what is required for this one infinite intelligence to sort of know itself.

for - quote/key insight - perception serves reproduction, not seeing reality as it is

quote / key insight - perception serves reproduction, not seeing reality as it is - Donald Hoffman - From an evolutionary point of view, perception is expensive. - It takes a lot of calories. - You have to eat a lot of food - to run your brain and - to power your eyes and your ears. - - And so you need to do shortcuts. - You need to make your sensory systems not chew up so much of your energy. - The more expensive your perceptual systems are, - the more you've got to eat to to power those. - So that means you have to go out there and forage and put yourself at harm. - So there's a trade-off. - We try to do things cheaply in evolution. And you don't need to actually go for the truth because that's very very expensive

key insight - high level governance (consciousness) vs low level intelligence - This is a very important observation - It says that a multi-cellular being such as a human being can have consciousness that has agency for the entire organism and governs at that high level, and it must have this beyond just the cognition and intelligence at the lower cellular and subcellular level

for - key insight - scientific theory - transition - from different - to similiar - key insight - organizing principle - organizes reality in new ways

key insight - scientific theory - transition - from different - to similiar - New scientific theories make us cognitively reorganize our experiences - What was thought of as separate in an older conceptual framing - suddenly become similiar with the new framing

key insight - new worldview must restore enchantment, community and connection - This worldview also has to restore the - enchantment, - communality, and - connection - to the sacred that is - ubiquitous in pre-modern and indigenous worldviews, - yet is severed in the process of modernization — - resulting in the pervasive sense of - alienation and - meaninglessness - that characterize both modern and postmodern worldviews. - As research underscores, - a sense of - meaning, - inner purpose, and - community - are crucial for human well-being and cannot be replaced by high levels of economic prosperity.

for - key insight - language - induction leads to general categories - neonates experience reality as a continuous, unbroken stream of consciousness - To form objects required object permanence - which in turn requires us to impute general categories first, - which is constructed upon a process of induction - based on the raw material of particular, remembered gestaltic experiences - ideas ( and therefore words) are essentially constructed categories that allow us to unite entire series of remembered, gestaltic experiences of phenomenological reality - Consider the author's example of sunburned skin: - Suppose the is an infant for whom the word 'skin' does not have a meaning. - The infant may have experienced many separate pre-linguistic, gestaltic experiences involving his skin: - sunburned skin - itchy skin - skin scalded by hot water - skin that is cold - dirty skin from playing in the dirt - clean skin after waking the dirt off - cut skin from a knife cutting it accidentally in the kitchen - bandaged and healed skin - All of these gestaltic experiences, when accompanied by the appropriate vocalisations of the caretaker who is present that use the word 'skin' help the infant to construct the category meaning of the word 'skin' - Early language training is an induction-intensive process - Unless we learn how to construct abstract categories at a young age, we cannot become proficient abstract language users as adults - By abstract, I mean the category nature of word s and ideas, which give them their flexibility and modularity

quote / key insight - the shallow internet can never truly fulfill us - The nourishing contact with others that we so desperately crave - can never be realized by selves that relate to others solely in the narcissistic terms of how those others can satisfy what our egos project upon them as potential sources of affirmation. - Relating to each other out of the fullness of our egos, - we look to one another for nurturing support but cannot receive each other. - There are no hollow places in ourselves - that make room for the other’s presence, - that welcome the other in. - All that confronts the other - is an ego that allows space for nothing but its own self-obsessed cravings.

Every newborn comes into the world with the biological capacity for kindness/compassion, language and for genetic expression. However, - how we actually turn out as adults depends on what variables exist in our environment - If we have a compassionate mOTHER, our Most significant OTHER, she will teach us compassion - just like a child raised in a community of other language speakers in the environment will enable the child to cultivate the language capacity and - without a community of language speakers, a feral infant will grow up not understanding language at all - a healthy environment triggers beneficial epigenetic processes - Again, the chinese saying is salient: (hu)man on earth, good at birth.

key insight / summary - neoliberalism and industrial capitalism were based on Descarte and our separation from the natural world - Post Capitalist Philanthropy Webinar 1 - Alnoor Ladha - Lynn Murphy - 2023 - FIrst, Descarte separated the mind from the body. We have the paradox of: - godlike mind housed in - animalistic bodies - (incidentally, this sets us up for the exageration of the existential crisis of the denial of death in modernity - Ernest Becker) - Then we impose separation of external vs internal world - Then, we have separate categories of mind and nature, and we begin othering of: - women - other (indigenous) cultures - What Alnoor and Lynn forgot to mention was that there is another separation that preceded the industrial revolution, the separation of people into distinct classes of: - producer - consumer - Then with the advance of Newtonian physics and the wild success of materialist theory applied to create a plethora of industrial technologies, a wedding occurred between: - dualism and - materialism - Materialism decomposes everything into subatomic particles that a rational mind can understand - To those who think science and technology can save us from the crisis it helped create - the deeper understanding reveals that science and technology are themselves agents of separation.

This is crazy. I don't understand what makes women of color so different than anybody else. The amount of people that are stereotyping makes you not even want to be able to work hard and try to achieve goals when it seems like nobody cares about your hard work

A word that people use to refer to black people that don't necessarily fit into a "well hard working individual"

in connecting theory to practice, the authors advance understanding toward the goals and roles of using computers in creative work.

the authors outline questions related to the assumptions in various ways of understanding knowledge; in questioning these assumptions, the authors start a conversation about the trade-offs and politics in creative computing research.

for - Earth system boundaries - importance of developing cross scale translation for cities and businesses as key actors

I like this because organizations are trying to prove to people that AI is actually a good things and how things can change to actually help learning instead of cheating

This can be a very big problem and you can see it in today's world. People tend to find facts off the internet that are completly false and a lot of it doesn't necessarily make sense, and with AI being a big thing today there definitely can be some wrong facts that are said to be true.

This is definitely one of the key terms because without LLM website that provide information wouldn't be as organized as they are today.

for - unpack - key insight - with the postulate of consciousness as the foundation, it makes sense that this is - an inner reality made of qualia - and an outer reality made of shareable symbols we call matter - Federico Faggin - question - about Federico Faggin's ideas - in what way is matter a symbol? - adjacency - poverty mentality - I am the universe who wants to know itself question - in what way is matter a symbol? - Matter is a symbol in the sense that it - we describe reality using language, both - ordinary words as well as - mathematics - It is those symbolic descriptions that DIRECT US to jump from one phenomena to another related phenomena. - After all, WHO is the knower of the symbolic descriptions? - WHAT is it that knows? Is it not, as FF points out, the universe itself - as expressed uniquely through all the MEs of the world, that knows? - Hence, the true nature of all authentic spiritual practices is that - the reality outside of us is intrinsically the same as - the reality within us - our lebenswelt of qualia

adjacency - between - key insight - quote - localization enables (infinite or universal consciousness) to perceive itself - Rupert Spira - discerning single voice at a busy party metaphor - existential isolation - adjacency relationship - quote - localization enables (infinite or universal consciousness) to perceive itself - Rupert Spira - This localization process enables (infinite) consciousness to perceive itself as the universe because - infinite consciousness cannot perceive its own activity directly - because if infinite consciousness were to perceive the universe directly - it would have to do so from every single point of view in the universe - It would be the deepest, darkest black image you could imagine - So in order to perceive an object - (infinite) consciousness must localize itself as an apparently separate subject so - the apparent localization of our self or - the dissociation of ourselves - as finite minds out of infinite consciousness enables - perception and - thought

• There is a metaphor that applies here:
  • At a busy dinner party, many people are talking at the same time
  • As the number of people approach infinite, the signal becomes more difficult to detect
  • In the same manner, as the activities of the universe are seemingly unbounded, how could infinite consciousness possibly observe its own infinite entirety?
  • Existential isolation is deemed depressing because it makes us feel intrinsically separated and disconnected from others, yet
    • it may be very necessary
  • Can you imagine hearing and understanding the voices of every human being, much less every living being?
  • An individual human does not have the capacity to process all that information
  • In the same manner, the body of every living organism is fine tuned for only one specific set of unwelts
  • How would we process the unbound amounts of information if we had an infinite number of different detectors?

for - key insight - quote - self knowledge - Rupert Spira

key insight - quote - self knowledge - Rupert Spira - There is one aspect of the universe that we have direct unmediated access to w

• When i say unmediated i mean we have access to it through a channel that is does not go through

  • perception or
  • thought and that is our knowledge of our self

• Our knowledge of our self is the only knowledge there is that is not mediated through

  • thought or
  • perception

• and therefore it is the only channel through which we have direct unmediated access to the reality of the universe

• It is for this reason that self-knowledge stands at the heart of all the great religious and spiritual traditions.

for - key insight - insulin covers up the real problem of mitochondria dysfunction

for - key insight - health - insulin resistance

key insight - health - insulin resistance - This is the key to the mechanism by which insulin levels increase in the blood. - As our diet places higher levels of glucose in the blood, the pancreas responds by releasing more and more insulin to process this elevated level of insulin and the cells respond, - but the cells, especially surrounding the organs no longer store fat when a certain threshold of high insulin is reached - high amounts of visceral fat around the organs is then accompanied by fat being released by the cells into the blood stream, elevating triglyceride levels - The liver then starts to take this up and if there are now elevated trigycerides in the bloodstream, the liver and cells get locked into a vicious cycle of fat release

AI - security risk - model weight files - are a key leverage point for bad actors - These files are critical national security data that represent huge amounts of investment in time and research and they are just a file so can be easily stolen.

for - key insight - AGI as automated AI researchers to create superintelligence

key insight - AGI as automated AI researchers to create superintelligence - We will reach a period of explosive, exponential AI research growth once AGI has been produced - The key is to deploy AGI as AI researchers that can do AI research 24/7 - 5,000 of such AGI research agents could result in superintelligence in a very short time period (years) - because every time any one of them makes a breakthrough, it is immediately sent to all 4,999 other AGI researchers

Personal, nuanced interpretation

Big contrast sentence between the two characters

Concluding sentence of main point

Quote used as a bouncing pad to not need to construct the argument from scratch

Connecting eagerness to another perspective: he wants to avoid transgression, and it reflects his state of vulnerability from his past. Indicating that this vulnerability has affected him long-term.

Builds off the argument about his character with another characteristic (that may either coexist or serve as an alternative explanation to Stephen's character)

the MAIN character point that this essay is trying to demonstrate via. the implications of Stephen's attitudes towards death

Added bonus of effect on audience

Real examples from the story to back it up

This becomes a logical argument of just meaning. Just meaning. Rational deduction of what Stephen is based on his actions and associations

One kernel of truth/ answer to the RQ (characterization) pulled out. However, there is another main point!

An explanation of the context needed to understand WHY he may fear these things

This introduction sentence for the quote LINKS the concept of death to religion (Catholic Doctrine) which primes the reader to understand the implications he/she writes about of the quote.

for - key insight - the unconscious - fundamental assumptions are the root problem - Nora Bateson

key insight, quote - the unconscious - fundamental assumptions are the root problem - Nora Bateson - (see below) - Even though we can point with - language and - statistics and - all sorts of measurements - to all the aspects of what we might call - the meta crisis or - the poly crisis - the real issues are: - insidious - they're underground - they're down in our our baseline premises of understanding - what life is and - what it means - To ask - what's in it for me - what's the point of this - where is this going - what am I going to get out of this - These type of questions that have to do with in some way embellishing our individual takeback - are deeply and totally unecological responses - so they're disrupting our possibility for perception

for - quote, key insight - progress trap - Nora Bateson

quote - progress trap - Nora Bateson - Nora hits the head of the nail with this observation - There are always multiple causes to one result - and by addressing only one cause, we cannot solve the problem, but in fact - allow it to continue and often make it worse - This is essentially another way of stating the teachings of millenia of Eastern philosophy, - that the universe is - infinitely interconnected - and its inherent nature of continuous transformation - Therefore, any state, which might be recognized as a problem state - is the result of many different causes and conditions coalescing

for - key insight - problem solving paradox - emptiness

key insight- problem solving paradox - emptiness - Due to the complex nature of reality - in which everything we perceive is connected to so many other things beyond our wildest imagination - a - *problem" doesn't have - a "solution" - Why not? - because a problem is human attention devoted to one aspect in our entire field of view (nature) - It's like looking at one stitch in the entire fabric of a weave - That one stitch could be so critical that tearing it off - can cause the entire fabric to fall apart - This massive connectedness and innumerable relationships is also described by the Eastern philosophical terms - emptiness - interdependent origination - references already provided in earlier annotations of this video.

for - key insight - the real is the illusory - interdependent origination - emptiness

key insight - the real is the illusory - There is profundity in this single statement that takes huge effort to truly understand - because we've been heaped with so much social conditioning - For example, a lot of psychological science research distinguishes between - what is real and - what is an illusion - However, the investigations that these teachings are referring to reveal that what both - conventional science and - the ordinary, mundane view of reality - take for real are both illusory when we deeply understand interdependent origination - The illusion is extraordinarily real and - it is a huge leap to know, feel and experience that ALL of reality, including both your - inner private world and the - outer shared world are illusory - That is, that while appearing, everything that appears is only due to other causes and conditions - Another way to say this is that nouns (things/objects) are temporary designations - underneath them is always verbs (processes)

for - key insight, quote - the Pact between the West and dictators since 1992

quote - Since 1992 it's been a good deal - The Pact that the Western Alliance has made with dictators around the world - we'll buy your oil you can get rich - we'll look the other way when you kill your own people - but you just can't attack your neighbors

for - key insight - why US geopolitics installed dictatorships - progress trap- US foreign policy that shaped modernity

key insight - why US geopolitics installed dictatorships - This was the US's rationale to justify the geopolitical mess it created this century: - If you allow democracy in the age of Communism - people might vote for communism, then - kill all the rich people, then - take their stuff, then - redistribute it - You can get a majority support for that in an impoverished country and that was perceived as a threat - So the United States was suppressing Democratic movements around the world - because if an authoritarian if a communist can win an election fairly one time, - that's the end of free and fair elections - So for decades, the US foreign policy agenda was to install dictators to suppress the threat that democracy could produce communism. - But after "communism was defeated" - all these installed dictators around the world that are the direct result of the pathological US foreign policy posed a new, unexpected quagmire - The decades of US foreign policy had created an enormous progress trap that we are all living through now - The US now had to normalize relations with the new world of dictators it had helped created out of its own fears<br /> - A new US foreign policy rule emerged to deal with this fiasco - Stay in your own country - If you want to kill, imprison, brutalize or subjegate your own people, it is fine with the US government as long as it is done within your own state borders - As long as a nation state abuses their own people, the US will continue to: - buy your oil - trade with you - show up at the UN - even have an occasional State event for you - However, Russia broke that rule

Given her master key is compromised (and that is the case when she'd like to rotate) nothing stops the compromised to issue and sign a new backup key.

Better: use pre-rotation of KERI.

Is a point of failure / weakest link in this chain - compomise of one key is enough to compromise Alice's identity.

Also, requires it to be replicated across her divecise, if she wishes to add new device from any device.
