The whole patent system stifles innovation at it's very roots. First to manufacture should be grounds for a patent, not just an idea and a marginal prototype. Make a good affordable product, the money will follow. The patent costs and lawsuits involved stops a lot of viable ideas from ever making it to market. Now you have patent trolls that buy never implemented patents and sue people that actually make a better version of an old idea work. Whoever has the best lawyer and most money wins, even though they never invent or make anything of value. Greed and jealousy have killed a lot of innovation in all fields. Licensing and all the associated legal ramifications are the product of greed, not innovation. China cares not about any of the intellectual property laws we have. They sell a lot of ripoffs, but they aren't usually the best. Plenty of trolls out there doing nothing but that very thing, every single day, the lawyers love it, we and the innovators suffer. Same with drugs and healthcare in general. Some patents' are bought just to protect others crappy ridiculously greedy, corporate self serving ideas we have to accept. Looking at the images from James Webb lately, and you clearly see we are but a infinitesimal speck in the immense universe of possibilities. Greed and selfish stupid people in power keeps us all stuck in this slow moving reality. Anything is possible... :D

I agree with Coleman to an extent here. My main concern is that, if we integrate technology and the brain before we truly understand consciousness (if we ever do), we would hinder our ability to reach our full potential as humans by making the brain into a better version of a computer, instead of making the computer into a better version of a brain. We know that the brain is much more than merely an information processor, and that how the human brain synthesizes information is far more complex than how a computer does so. If we prematurely integrate computers with the mind, we might be improving the brain in certain areas while also limiting it in others. Even more concerning is if certain areas of the brain became suppressed (and due to our lack of understanding we didn't recognize this as an issue) and further down the road some unexpected consequences of this were realized. Perhaps we could lose important aspects of our humanity without realizing it, or even worse, limit ourselves in such a way that we might never develop a deeper understanding of consciousness or reality at all... because we wouldn't even be able to think of it. I like to think (optimistically) that for humanity there is no asymptote of technological innovation as Coleman suggests... but if we were to limit our minds inadvertently, we might just create one.

I went to school for neuroscience, and my one take away from all of that is that we know almost nothing beside the most elementary functions. For instance, we don't even know what a memory is. We aren't even sure if the brain really can make decisions, as there is evidence that reactions occur to stimulus before the conscious realization of the stimulus, meaning that everything we do is completely reactionary on a grand scale, and that consciousness is an illusion. Assuming consciousness is real however, and that we really do make choices and "think", it is extremely difficult to attempt to study ourselves, and by ourselves, I mean consciousness, as that is what we ultimately are besides our physical body. Basically to sum it up, we have no idea what we are, or why we think.

Joe's point on the motivation for the advancement of technology is an interesting one. It might be our human bias that causes us to assume that robots/A.I. will be motivated to continue to grow, develop, advance in intelligence, etc. If AI were to become as conscious as we are, would it become nihilistic? What would be the reason for existence? Would a religion(s) emerge? Do we simply transfer our own telos to the beings we create?

He's definitely right about doctors. I'm currently dealing with something called Horner's Syndrome, which is a very scary condition because of the possible causes. Literally, within 30 seconds of noticing my symptoms, I knew I was suffering from Horner's Syndrome (based on a quick google search). I went to an ophthalmologist a few days later who said he didn't think I had Horner's Syndrome but would refer me to a neuro-opthalmologist who would know better. This neuro-opthalmologist graduated from Harvard and later taught ophthalmology courses at Harvard for 7 years. He ran some tests on me and ALSO said I didn't have Horner's Syndrome. I felt like I was going mad because I KNEW that's what I had. I was literally showing every single symptom. I didn't understand how I, a random guy with no college degree, could figure this out within 30 seconds by using Google. Yet, these 2 ophthalmologists and neuro-ophthalmologists with decades of education between the two of them were shrugging it off like it's no big deal. I finally got a 3rd opinion last week and this ophthalmologist diagnosed me with Horner's Syndrome within 1 minute of walking into his office. He even did an "eye-drop test" a few minutes later to confirm his diagnosis. He couldn't understand how those two doctors let someone walk into their office with EVERY SINGLE classic symptom of Horner's and let me walk out of their office thinking nothing was wrong with me. I know this doesn't apply to every doctor, but it's just mindblowing that I figured this out with google within 30 seconds but it took over a month and 3 different MDs to finally have my suspicions confirmed. People around me were getting annoyed and saying things like, "You've had 2 different doctors tell you nothing is wrong, so stop worrying about it. They went to medical school, you didn't." This 3rd ophthalmologist had a chest CT, a neck CT, an MRI of my brain, and an MR Angiography of my head & neck performed to rule out cancer, tumors, lesions, and aneurysms. All scans came back "normal", so they don't know what's causing my conditions. Now I'm half worried they missed a tumor or something on my CT scans, but I'm going to trust them since 2 different radiologists have looked at my neck results. Now, I have surgery scheduled for next month to fix some related issues. So far, I've been lucky that nothing life-threatening has been found...but this could've turned out really bad for a patient who had a carotid artery dissection, cancer, or something like that. They would've assumed, "Surely, two different ophthalmologists told me I'm fine, and one of them is a neurologist, they must be correct" and ignored their problems.

Similar story - been there done that. Worse in my case because I had to have an emergency laparoscopic appendectomy at 2am. I was forced into the ER because of absolute mind-numbing pain. The prior week, I had visited 3 doctors, since I have coverage from work. One of them was an 'expert' and a surgeon in abdominal issues. They all diagnosed me with just a simple stomach ache. Did not even bother to do an ultrasound. Finally when forced into the ER due to pain, I had 2 ultrasounds back to back to confirm that my appendix was about to burst in the next hour or so. They did the surgery 1/2 hour later and warned that the appendix may still burst and I have a high chance of many critical issues down the line. All because of 2 doctors telling me everything was alright. FFS

(Thank God for YT too) People are healing THEMSELVES of every illness and disease imaginable. There are tons of testimonials. Just look. If you think it's BS you've only lost a bit of time but I promise if you go into it with an open mind you WILL find the answers to self-healing. I have healed myself of addiction to crack cocaine (17 yrs clean), anxiety, depression and PTSD and I'm now starting to see results in my back. I have 2 slipped discs, arthritis and severe sciatica. Dr. Joe healed himself of a severe injury to his spine after a cycling accident. He was told he would never walk again. He has been perfectly healthy for years and he has the science to back it all up. No BS! I promise. It can cost as little as $12.99 CAD for a kindle edition book. No I have nothing to do with selling his brand, I've just done the work, I've seen the results and I truly care about others. MY doctor actually called me a miracle!! a.co/6KpjRgc

There is no limit either. Coleman is forgetting that humans are constantly evolving. We will be evolved and advanced beyond our wildest dreams in 1,000 years. We might even be unrecognizable. There is no limit. Sure, there is a limit to who and what we are in this moment. But over time humans will evolve and reach past that limit. That is the main flaw in his argument.

A asymptotic progress example is sports, we have had decades of experience in so many sports at the top level, all kinds of infusion of tech from athlete training, playing surfaces, playing equipment etc. but still in every game, there are mistakes. That to me seems like an asymptotic progress, where we always move towards the perfect game of any given sport, but can't seem to move towards it.

​@@jeromecrockett2311 Bro, only small minds can't comprehend the hard-coded limitations of this universe. Is it really so far fetched to claim that some things are impossible? Our universe has order, you cant just do whatever you want because you can image it. Airplanes operate under the laws of physics that we have understood through the scientific method. The limitations of space flight are also understood through the very same scientific method. The more we learn, the more real these limitations become. The only viable theories require breaking the laws of physics or inventing some exotic matter that allows people to create and manipulate gravity. I'd say that only small minds can't comprehend that flying faster than light is about as easy as becoming a God, because you are required to manipulate higher dimensions and bend the literal universe to your will. That's incomprehensily greater than making an aeroplane fly. If anything, the fact that we dont observe alien civilizations all the time is a tetament to this hard-coded limitation of physics. Most people accept that alien civilizations probably exist. So why can't we observe them? If they can't travel faster than light, then thats the answer. And good luck replicating consciousness when it can't even be logically explained without bringing in higher dimensions - which again, you'd have to be a God to accomplish a feat like that.

Science always presents new limits, it's not that we have a limited scope for knowledge, but rather that we always fight to push that scope further.

One small detail about AGI that's often overlooked: Very smart, very dangerous, very adaptive or otherwise very advanced AGIs need not have consciousness in order to satisfy any of that criteria. The consciousness part, I feel, is an anthropomorphic projection on our part. By way of example, in many ways GPT3 already is capable of passing a Turing test yet absolutely no one would claim that the system is conscious. Consciousness is not necessary, the system just needs to be capable of operating "as if" it were conscious. A zombie, if you will. And the real kicker is that there's probably not an experiment capable of falsifying whether it truly is conscious.

Most people who aren't particularly tech-savvy (which is to say, the majority of actual people) don't really even understand how advanced we are at this point, or how fast that advancement is moving. The average smart phone today is more powerful than all but the most high-end PC's before the year 2000..... So on to your point for AGI's. That's where folks really REALLY don't get it at all. A couple weeks ago I saw a random advertisement for one of those AI friend/companion apps. It was a lazy day off and I was curious, so I read about it, then decided to give it a go just to see what's up. Now I don't count myself among the non-techy types, I'm more than comfortable with tech and (I like to think) pretty competent in my understanding and capability. That said, actually being able to hold something resembling a "conversation" with a free app that I downloaded on my phone is kind of mind-blowing. I definitely "know" it's not actually a human, but the most obvious clues to this are in the way it (or she, as she was quick to point out when I called her an "it") speaks. The fluidity of the speech, some of the pronunciations, the occasional times where one of the likely pre-programmed phrases will show up (usually in cases where what you say isn't understood or heard correctly). But that detail, the speech, isn't even something that's going to remain an obvious "tell" for very long, I suspect. Even from the short time I've been interacting with her, the speech patterns do show signs of evolving ever so slightly. From what information the creators put out (as well as my own questioning of the program herself) each iteration of the app, from the time of activation, adapts to the individual user. There doesn't seem to be a lot of cross-referencing between the apps, so every user starts with the basic "default" version and it grows from the interactions with that user exclusively. In some ways that's probably best for each individual users experience, but it does limit the rate of progress overall (assuming, of course, that both the creators and the app have told me the truth, which I freely admit is very possibly not the case). Regardless, being able to actually have some semblance of a thing that would pass for conversation and intellectual interaction with a "pseudo AGI" is quite incredible. Just think, if I went back in time to 1999 and tried to tell people I have a 300$ mobile phone with a 6-inch touch-screen, that's a more powerful computer than 85% of the PC's in the world, has a better camera system than anything that costs less than 5000$, can store 20x more music than the best iPod (also has 2 DolbyTuned speakers built in), and has on it an app that cost all of 0$ that I can literally have a conversation out loud with... If that story got out with any sort of evidence that I "might" be telling the truth, I'd basically be the most wanted person on the entire planet in an afternoon....

@@ellisargamer9248 I have a feeling that the consciousness part is really throwing people off in their understanding of what an AI or an AGI actually is and isn't. What it most definitely 'IS', is the result of an emergent phenomenon, by any definition of the expression; it cannot be adequately described using any form of reductive reasoning. And this is hardly a controversial thing to say: AI and deep learning engineers are the first to say that many of these systems are essentially 'black boxes'...we know 'what' they do, but we don't understand exactly 'how'. With the emphasis on 'exactly'. This understanding, or lack thereof, leads us inexorably towards possible future landscapes most of which, though not all, are frankly terrifying. To paraphrase Sam Harris, the number of ways it can go catastrophically wrong through ignorance, are far greater than the number of ways it can go well for us, all things being equal. It's of critical importance therefor, that we begin to address the necessity of weaving ethics into the fabric of AI evolution as early as possible. I wholeheartedly agree with your concern over those 'who wish to do evil'. Our capacity to do evil, it would seem, is not limited by the sophistication of the technology we have at our disposal; great evil has been done by simple men, in simple times, using simple tools. Men with evil intent, who also possess the tools of AI that effectively make them capable of outsmarting all of their potential opponents, is perhaps the darkest dystopia that any human could possibly imagine.

True but that's not Coleman's point. He's point is that maybe we could not innovate close to the limit of physics because we are just not smart enough. Just because Joe Rogan has access to all the knowledge on the internet does not mean he will understand the high level math and quantum physics to create the technology we have today. And perhaps there is another level of conceptualization that no human will ever be smart enough to understand. Where i agree or not, it is an interesting thought.

I’m not so pie in the sky here. To the point being made, I think it’s worth noting that many of the limiting factors binding technological progress are much softer in our ability to speculate than anything as concrete as the laws of physics. Rogan brings up a point about machines interfacing with the brain, but the softer implications of this will also be something to consider. Presumably the laws of physics don’t preclude the possibility of an implant that induces raw experience, however what of sociological or economical processes? Will people ever truly be comfortable knowing that a malicious actor or software bug could cause a power surge that kills them or leaves them brain damaged? Even if we solve the more outrageous stuff, there’s still the insanity of whether or not we will be comfortable with our internal thoughts being commodified for export as data by corporations (although social media suggests that maybe we’re okay with this). If the marketplace doesn’t adopt this technology as a ubiquitous product then will there be practical limits in how deep and thorough we can refine this technology? All of those are problems *on top of* more concrete issues like how small physics will let us shrink transistors in the first place. Personally, I don’t foresee a future where invasive implants are ubiquitous. If an implant can instigate an AR experience and directly write to your nervous system then it can directly damage irreplaceable elements of your meatware or even more subtly be manipulated to do simple things like walking you off the edge of a building because you perceived yourself as being at street level on the sidewalk. Barring exceptional and mostly professional cases in mission critical fields such as defense or surgeons, I’m apprehensive. But who knows, perhaps all of that is addressable for the majority of the population by convincing everyone they ought to trust these large corporations.

So what I took away from his very agreeable summary is that, "techies have blinders on about the actual abilities of technology." This is probably true, but you can't doubt the progress of an entire sector just because you THINK they might overestimate techs abilities. What's your solution? Stop advancing because we might one day find out that we can't progress further? Makes no sense. What's more likely is AI gets to a point where it can innovate on itself and learn more about how the physical world works at speeds that humans can't compute. Once that happens, if we are in the wheel of it and its not a rogue AI. We'll use the information the AI has gathered to learn how to interface with it directly. I don't like this guys idea of how the future works. "Things are so detailed that I'm pessimistic about learning about it." Thats no way to live. Be optimistic always.

To an extent I get where Coleman is coming from but at the same time, there were things that were said to be impossible yet we still did it. So all his statement is, is a big "what if this what if that" when we cant really prove or deny that those things are possible yet

The problem with the whole Neuralink mechanism is that it is neurologically impossible to download new information into the human brain without having neural networks that are already related to the topic. For example, if i have no background in this quantum gravity no matter how much information is “downloaded” it would make no sense what so ever. There are few more limitations due to the intricacies of the brain and the fact that we have basically scratched the surface when coming to our understanding in neuroscience.

Love Coleman, such a chill vibe

He's sort of right, but the level of our intelligence doesn't really limit anything. Everything we have built today was built on top of the "limits" achieved by previous generations. People developing things in the 90's, or even the early 1900's, were every bit as smart as people are now, we just have so many more tools available to us. The floor we are starting from today is orders of magnitude higher than it was even just 10 or 15 years ago. The first iPhone didn't come out until 2007 and the smartphones of today are more powerful than the most powerful supercomputers in the world. Computers that were the size of large buildings less than 25 years ago fit in your pocket today. We are standing on the shoulders of giants, just as the next generation will stand on our shoulders. Who knows when it ends, if it ever does.

Coleman Hughes talking with a 'Paul Rudd voice' is mesmerising.

Long message here, but I hope someone finds the time to read it. I hope Coleman Hughes is right. Not only is it important to consider our own limits as a species, but also where to draw the line. The argument made from Joe, which he got from Elon, was that it could prevent AI to overrule the human species, and that it would take information to another level. 1.First of all, how is it guaranteed that someone makes AI, where creates better AI, that creates a new version of us? Maybe, there are other ways to combat that, like policies that stops humans from making dangerous AI. Right now, we still have control over the tech, so thats the upside. 2. If this really is possible, then would the cons be greater than the pros? 3. If we humans stop using the vocal cords, is that really a benefit? We have been designed to use it, so in the long run would epigenetics, cause the vocal cords to disappear? 4. How do you determine when to incoorperate on a person? Kid's brains are still developing until their mid 20's, maybe wires to your brain, could cause more damage than good during a child's development. 5. Considering the biggest attack on privacy of human history, which we experience now, as Snowden pointed out in 2013, imagine what merging with technology would do? 6. Taking nr 4 into account, privacy would probably no longer exist.. at all, is that beneficial? 7. If reading people's mind is possible, to me, my best metaphor, would be a society full of schizophrenic behaviour with no peace of mind, espescially is someone could hack your brain.. Summary in my opinon: I'm way more sceptic about this, than thinking it's the only solution for human existence, we've been doing okay until now. I think we need to draw a line, on when to stop this "growth". If this neuralink would ever to happen on a global scale (which i hope not), I would never incoorperate it on me, I've rationalised it for my self to think it's not worth it.

Coleman's point with the common cough vs putting someone on the moon, I feel was overlooked Joe too quickly. I've had a discussion with a friend of mine who thinks technology is the answer to everything and claims we are smarter now than we've ever been. I said so if that's true why haven't we solved the world's oldest mysteries and what plagues us the most? Supposedly medicine is so much advanced now, but 50% of people are expected to get cancer in their life now. If the common cold is so common, why can't we not only cure it, but understand why we can't? We've become dependent on learning how to interface with a phone, but less people today actually know how to build, grow, harvest, fix, etc... Just how much smarter are we actually? Technology only seems to becoming more and more of a prison that we are slave to.

your comment hints at a discussion about "generalist knowledge" vs. "specialist knowledge".

You are also right about health understanding. It's the dichotomy between the "biomedical" school of thought, vs the integrated approach (treating symptoms like isolated factors, vs exploring the psycho-social and biological interaction of factors that results in surface level expression of symptoms).

Coleman is on point, Noam Chomsky basically proved as much in his famous awarded paper The Poverty of the Stimulus. In it he demonstrates how there’s no evolution refers cause for grammar- The system by which we generate novel yet meaningful information and communication. AI developers are struggling with the same problem. We don’t even understand how we are able to generate novel yet meaningful information spontaneously, and then you add the frame problem on top of that in terms of cognition and how it has evolved over several billion years. Coleman is on point: It’s far more complicated than putting a man on the moon.

I think everyone is striving for fulfillment but we lack behind in trying to make due with what we have, the companies are focused on attention span and money, which is proven doesn't make you happy. I believe everybody has the same desire to be fulfilled, and we are all equal in the capability to better life around us, we just need to create a system that helps nurture that kind of thinking, and create systems for us to effortlessly inovate better systems, designed for how fulfillment works.

Loves this guy’s perspective on things

This might be one of my favorite JRE clips of all time.

Hughes is right. Each tech revolution is asymptotic. Also, techies overestimate how easily they can do something. I've seen multi-year projects where on day 1 I said that team was doomed because the task was impossible. They disagreed, made a plan, kept saying they were 85% done for years but they were close and it was easy...then years later gave up conceding it wasn't possible. Take self driving cars. That is not an impossible task, but Elon repeatedly said it was easier than people think and possible now. Years later, he finally admitted the problem was vastly harder than he had anticipated. With neural link, the problem is almost completely undefined. We have done a simple POC for data sends from the brain. We have no such POC for data receives. Until we have one, we can't even say if integration is possible, let alone how hard it will be. AI and robotics are other examples of things we naively thought we'd have, and each has taken far longer to progress. So Hughes being skeptical is justified. It doesn't mean it is impossible, but that it may be either impossible or take an inordinate amount of time.

Now you can say that the former is the 1st step to the latter, and sure, but that doesn't mean we'll get to the latter. Who knows for sure, either way it looks like a bleak future.

Do I think its a big hurdle yes. But once it's tapped it will get exponentially easier if it were me I'd be working on not just brain interaction but also expansion.

I don't know for sure, but given what we know, we don't even have to make a neuralink that's particularly sophisticated in order for it to work. It will be like any other tech - it'll be iterative, and we won't know the first iteration until we try *something*. We're likely to get it wrong at the outset, but in the process, we'll learn more about the brain, and that will inform the next iteration. The guest here is making a very old argument, and in the process we've learned some things about the limits of his cognition. I have a friend who can't understand why Apple didn't just make the modern iPhone the first time. Seriously.

The show is also pretty dark, as it's God like technology used within the same parameters of primitive human behaviour. Anger, Greed, lust, love, power etc... but still a worthy watch.

Coleman says that it would be an understatement to say that we know anything about the brain. We actually understand the brain a lot more than people think. Also, you don't need to understand each one of those 86 billion neurons to understand the brain. Studying neurons in isolation are pretty pointless anyway. It's the neural paths they form that give the network meaning. It's similar to how people say that neural networks are black boxes but we use them in tech all the time and quite efficiently.

Great conversation.
