    Moltbook- the Secret Social Network for AI Agents | EP 14

    अगाडी को हप्ता मैले चेतना के हो ? के #AI चेतनशील हुन्सक्छ भन्ने बारे भिडियो बनाएको थिए। यो हप्ता पश्चिमी मिडियाहरु मा एउटा समाचार ले खलबली मच्यायो। #AI एजेन्टहरु सामाजिक संजाल खोले र एक आपसमा कुरागर्न थाले, कतिले यसलाई अब यिनीहरु चेतनशिल हुन् थाले पनि भने । #NPR देखि #NewYorkTimesले यसलाई समाचार बनाए। हुनपनि #AI का लागि बनाएको सामाजिक संजाल #मोल्टबुक खोलेको एक हप्तैमा २० लाख #AIAgents ले एकाउन्ट खोले र अहिले सम्म एक करोड भन्दा बढि #म्य्सेज आदान प्रदान गरेका छन। तर यो आम मानिस ले सोचे जस्तो डरलाग्दो त् होईन तर यी बोटहरु कत्ति को शक्तिशाली हुन्छन भन्ने खुल्दुली छ। आउनु होस् हेरौ ति #AIAgents ले कस्ता कस्ता कुरा गर्दा रैछन त् जहाँ मानिसहरु लाइ प्रवेश पाउदैन

    The Mystery of Consciousness: Will AI Ever Be Conscious? Buddha, Vedas & Neuroscience || EP 13 ||

    Namaste and welcome back to Upaaya lab podcast, where we bridge the gap between modern science and ancient wisdom. Today, we are tackling the ultimate mystery: Consciousness. Is it a 'controlled hallucination' created by your brain, as modern neuroscience suggests, or is it the fundamental fabric of the universe described in our ancient Vedas and Buddhist texts? From the 'Hard Problem' of David Chalmers to the quantum microtubules of Roger Penrose, and the rising question of AI sentience—we are bridging the gap between the lab and the lotus. Let’s dive deep."Disclaimer: Views are mine not of my employer.

    EP10- Dance and Dementia- दैनिक निर्त्य गर्दा स्मरणशक्ति ह्राश ७६ प्रतिशतले कम हुन्छ

    Namaste and welcome back to Upaaya Lab. I am your host, Kamal Dhakal. We often hear that exercise is good for the body, but what if I told you there is one specific activity that can reduce the risk of dementia by a staggering 76 percent? It’s not running, it’s not weightlifting, and it’s not even a crossword puzzle. It is the art of Dance.Today, we dive deep into the neuroscience of rhythm. We’ll look at a landmark 21-year study from the New England Journal of Medicine to understand how dancing literally rewires our hippocampus. Then, we bridge this modern science with the ancient wisdom of the Shiva Tandava, exploring why the 'Cosmic Dance' is the ultimate technology for a sharp mind and a blissful soul. Let’s simplify the complex and find the 'Upaaya'—the solution—for a healthier brain."हामीले सधैं सुन्दै आएका छौं कि व्यायाम शरीरको लागि राम्रो हुन्छ, तर के तपाईंलाई थाहा छ एउटा यस्तो क्रियाकलाप छ जसले बिर्सने रोग अर्थात् 'डिमेन्सिया' को जोखिमलाई ७६ प्रतिशत सम्म कम गर्न सक्छ? यो दौडनु वा जिम जानु मात्र होइन, यो हो 'नृत्य' अर्थात् नाच।आजको अंकमा हामी लय (Rhythm) को स्नायुविज्ञान अर्थात् Neuroscience को बारेमा गहिरो छलफल गर्नेछौं। हामी न्यु इङ्गल्याण्ड जर्नल अफ मेडिसिनको २१ वर्ष लामो अनुसन्धानलाई केलाउनेछौं र बुझ्नेछौं कि नाचले कसरी हाम्रो मस्तिष्कको 'हिप्पोक्याम्पस' लाई पुनर्जीवित गर्छ। साथै, यो आधुनिक विज्ञानलाई हामी 'शिव ताण्डव' को प्राचीन दर्शनसँग जोड्नेछौं। आउनुहोस्, जटिल सिद्धान्तहरूलाई सरल भाषामा बुझौं र स्वस्थ मस्तिष्कका लागि सही 'उपाय' खोजौं।"Disclaimer: views and material presented in this channel are mine, not of my employer
