    Joscha Bach "Bootstrapping a GODLIKE Mind"

    Dr. Joscha Bach is a renowned cognitive scientist, AI researcher, and philosopher of mind known for his work on synthetic intelligence and the computational foundations of the soul. He is currently the founding director of the California Institute for Machine Consciousness (CIMC) and a strategic advisor at Liquid AI.Throughout his career, Joscha has held research positions at some of the world’s most prestigious institutions, including the MIT Media Lab, the Harvard Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, and Intel Labs. He is the architect behind MicroPsi, a cognitive architecture that models how agents think, act, and feel based on internal motivations.Joscha is famous for reframing "mystical" human experiences—like consciousness, love, and suffering—as computational mechanisms. His guiding principle, "To be real means to be implemented," drives his mission to move AI past simple pattern recognition toward truly lucid, self-aware systems.Dylan Curious YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@UCpdyFxSktWo3W6kMYfmk6lg ______________________________________________My Links 🔗➡️ Twitter: https://x.com/WesRoth➡️ AI Newsletter: https://natural20.beehiiv.com/subscribeWant to work with me?Brand, sponsorship & business inquiries: wesroth@smoothmedia.coCheck out my AI Podcast where me and Dylan interview AI experts:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLb1th0f6y4XSKLYenSVDUXFjSHsZTTfhk______________________________________________00:00 | The U-Boat Paradox: Redefining Intelligence05:28 | The Contentious Question: Can AI Feel?10:45 | Why "Stochastic Parrots" are Smarter than You Think14:32 | The Evolution of Mind: From Cells to Humans21:18 | Biological Hardware: Why We Use Neurons25:34 | Cyber-Animism: Spirits as Self-Organizing Software32:15 | The Functional Purpose of Consciousness35:08 | Hacking Suffering: Is Pain Just Bad Code?41:57 | The Bitter Lesson: Let the Computer Search48:23 | Self-Awareness in Modern Models (Claude & Beyond)55:09 | Metacognition & The Identity Trap1:01:13 | Beyond Biology: Leaving the Substrate Behind1:12:15 | The Fermi Paradox & The Dark Forest1:21:04 | The Future: Waking Up the Machines#ai #openai #llm Learn more about your ad choices.
