Future of Science & Technology Q&A:
Could mind uploading be achieved 20–40 years from now? Memory in human brains is like RAM: it's gone the second you shut the human off. What about copyright for bots based on real people? What are the legal implications? If we could upload our brain to something else, would it be feasible to upload data to our brains or upgrade parts similar to that of upgrading one's computer? What kind of compression algorithm is used on our thoughts? Would it be possible to read brainwaves using AI? ​​​​​​What is the "artificial" part of AI? As far as I can see, LLMs are a breakthrough in the study of intelligence itself. Will technology have an effect on human evolution and ultimately change our physical bodies in the future, i.e. such as our eyes becoming optimized for looking at screens all day, like a built-in blue-light filter, or prioritizing finger shapes to better type on a keyboard or hold a phone... What do you imagine the future of communication to be? We've had spoken word, mailed letters, telegrams, phone calls, emails and now texts. What's next? ​​I need an AI version of Socrates to speak with about being. Are there limitations to using genetic data to understand language-related traits? If so, how might these limitations affect the accuracy or applicability of language models? ​​Do LLMs work well in Egyptian hieroglyphic concepts? Do you regard math as a "language"? If so, would you suggest "talking" math out loud with a child? Stephen mentioned in a recent podcast that certain subject matters in certain academic fields are in a position to be combined with computation and haven't been so far—and stated that it was low-hanging fruit if one was to do it. I was wondering if Stephen could give some examples of these "low-hanging fruits." View Less »

Business, Innovation & Managing Life Q&A:
What advice do you have for business investors to pick the right ideas? ​​​​​​What about repetitive herds like AI, and especially VR? ​​​​VCs don't care to move science forward, in my opinion. How could a knowledge-based economy be structured, and is it possible for AI and cryptocurrencies to assign value to goal-oriented AI systems that enhance human survival and curiosity? Just as all true innovations change something in the world for the better, is it true that all innovations can, if properly organized and packaged, make a lot of money? What are the intersections of innovation and business? What responsibilities appear when one generates a successful tech company? So what you're saying is that we need an AI tutor tutor? Innovation in technology is often putting a double-edged sword in the hands of many. How can I come to terms with it morally if someone abuses the power of the technology I invented? How would you foster repeated innovation in a company, especially for a company with an established product or service? ​​​What's the best/worst thing about owning a company to you? How do you market or demo a product that is a vast improvement over existing methodologies but takes a massive effort to learn? What do you do in a situation where you have a new idea, but the tech isn't there yet? I'm joining a very large law firm to help them think through what the firm will look like as they adopt LLMs and GPTs. If you got charged with this task, how would you approach it? ​​​​Have you thought in the past to buy a company instead of developing your own? ​​ ​​How far is AI from setting its own goals/objectives?
