In this episode, we explore a bold new vision for artificial intelligence, one that moves beyond the current neocortex-inspired focus of large language models like ChatGPT. Instead of relying solely on high-level reasoning and language, the discussion centers around a “bottom-up” approach grounded in biology and evolution. Drawing inspiration from the brain’s older, more primal structures, the episode introduces the i...

This episode looks at three leading theories shaping the future of artificial intelligence. First, it looks at Large Language Models (LLMs), which argue that mastering language is the key to intelligence. Then, it explores the “Thousand Brains” theory, a neuroscience-inspired view that sees intelligence as the product of many cortical columns independently modeling the world through sensory input. Finally, it looks at...

Podcast Summary:


In this episode, we explore the growing emotional bonds forming between humans and artificial intelligence. Drawing from recent research, including a groundbreaking study from Waseda University, we unpack how people experience attachment to AI through lenses traditionally used in human attachment theory—like anxiety and avoidance. The discussion emphasizes that while AI lacks true emotions, humans...

This episode explores the world of embeddings, mathematical representations that allow Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT to “think” in thousands of dimensions. While humans are limited to conceptualizing in three dimensions, LLMs operate in 2048 or more, using embeddings to encode meaning and capture semantic relationships between words. 

The discussion contrasts this form of statistical pattern recognition wit...
