7 Reasons

why you are just a meat computer

...and that's ok

Also there aren't actually 7 reasons in this talk, so don't bother trying to count in
your head.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Cutting edge technology is just
(a little bit) magical.

The Pledge

Information

Entropy

Numbers

Statistics is about noise
Machine Learning is about structure
AI is about consciousness

The Neuron

Pattern
Recognition

Patterns are crystalised information
A gap between possible entropy
and realised entropy

The turn

Patterns in space
Patterns in hyper-space
Patterns in time
Patterns within patterns
"Deep" Learning

The Prestige

Deep Dream
demo
Deep Reinforcement Learning
demo
The collision of thought and information processing.
Conciousness is sufficiently advanced technology.
Conciousness is the greatest magic trick there ever was.

We are the magician and the audience
