AI Show – Deep Learning vs. Machine Learning

This episode helps you compare deep learning vs. machine learning. You’ll learn how the two concepts compare and how they fit into the broader category of artificial intelligence. During this demo we will also describes how deep learning can be applied to real-world scenarios such as fraud detection, voice and facial recognition, sentiment analytics, and time series forecasting.

The Dawn of Artificial General Intelligence – Can We Survive a Post AGI World?

The dawn of a Superintelligence or the process of the creation of artificial general intelligence has often been described as a digital metamorphosis. By seeking better and cheaper technology, we are inevitably fueling the process that will eventually give rise to a superintelligence or AGI. Computer scientists have pointed out that there are only two possibilities why AGI wont emerge. Either we destroy ourselves, or we agree not to pursue better technology. Since the last alternative is quite improbable, one day, if we do not destroy civilization, we will witness the rise of artificial general intelligence. Superintelligent machines pose a unique threat to humanity if our values are not aligned. One solution to the apparent Fermi paradox could be the misaligned values between artificial life and biological life. The development of AI, in particular Strong AI or General AI most often referred as AGI could also be the architect of a Utopian world. However we can not afford for a best case scenario by sitting on our hands. We have to tread carefully in these unfamiliar digital waters and put the right systems and regulations into place. There is also hope for humanity in the sense of us merging with intelligent machines into a symbiotic relationship. The dawn of artificial general intelligence and aligning our values with such an AGI which is also known as the AI control problem, might be the single most important task in the history of our species.

Why do some scientists believe that our universe is a hologram?

In this video, I explain why some scientists believe that our universe is a hologram and we really live in the 2-dimensional projection of a higher dimensional space. First, I explain just what physicists mean by the “holographic principle.” The holographic principle says that the degrees of freedom inside a volume of space can be described by information on the surface of that volume at the same resolution. Then I explain that this relation goes back to ideas about the black hole entropy and string theory in space with a negative cosmological constant, the so-called Anti-de Sitter space. I briefly mention what the problems are with these arguments. I then discuss a recent idea of Verlinde & Zurek about how one could test holography experimentally. Finally, I tell you my own opinion about this. As so often, I am highly skeptical that wild speculation will lead to progress.

The Technological Singularity

The technological singularity is one of the most popular topics in computer science today. The implications of it are immense, and it could change the course of history. Artificial Intelligence is on the rise, and soon enough, we will have Superintelligence. It’s not slowing down any time soon. What is the technological singularity? When is it coming? Are robots actually a threat? I have a few ideas.

The Map of Quantum Physics

This is the Map of Quantum Physics and quantum mechanics covering everything you need to know about this field in one image.

I made this map of quantum physics to lay out the ideas within the subject, to set some bounds on it so you know its not endless and to introduce you to lots of concepts that if you are interested in them you can dig deeper. When you are approaching a subject like this that’s so complicated it can be quite challenging because you don’t know where to start and you don’t know how all the concepts relate to each other so hopefully this will put everything in context.

The Future of Cryptocurrency for Nomads

Ashton Addison interviews Andrew on what it means to be a Nomad Capitalist, investing in emerging markets, gaining a second citizenship, cryptocurrency, banking, and luxury nomads.

What does it mean to go where you’re treated best? Andrew discusses the vision of Nomad Capitalist and how you can get the best deals out of life.

Do you have to be a citizen of Georgia to have an investment in Georgia? What about an investment in Cambodia? Some places have more investment restrictions than others.

Can you get citizenship by investment? Andrew discusses Turkey citizenship by real estate investment and the benefits of a second citizenship.

What impact does cryptocurrency have on the nomad lifestyle? Andrew discusses the future of cryptocurrency.

All wealthy people don’t have to live in the same five cities. Being a luxury nomad means living wherever you want. But what does Andrew recommend?

Tokenization and Decentralized Finance | Interaxis.io

Tokenization centers around the concept of disintermediation in a variety of processes. By replacing such intermediaries with code, decentralized finance democratizes the ability to trade real-world assets and potentially provides increased security, efficiency, and reliability to asset owners. There is also the potential to create more liquidity for investors.

The transparency, liquidity, and efficiency lends itself to greater coupling with Decentralized Finance – peer-to-peer lending and trading, data oracles, and hyper-customized portfolios.

This video gives you an analysis of the potential implications of tokenizing real-world assets. We go over financial processes, oracles, and blockchain concepts to help you understand the bigger picture of such a technology.
