Human longevity science has been in the news recently. According to a paper in Nature by Dong et al. (New York Times article), the natural limit on human lifespan is about 115 years. Life expectancy has essentially stopped improving. This is in contrast to the views and hopes of some, such as the transhumanists and folks at Singularity University (whom we previously discussed in our water futures article and elsewhere), who are giddy that advances in technology (such as the super-intelligence) will soon lead to vasty elongated lifespans. Are there some simple data science or predictive analytics things we can do to illustrate the underlying the limits on human lifespan? Can we use predictive analytics to figure out what technologies or behaviors might potentially hold the key to greatly extended human longevity? (And is greatly prolonged life even a socially desirable or feasible goal given the resource limits like limits on pension funds?)… Read the restSignal processing, motion, and artificial intelligence: Ted Talk
Intelligence, signal processing, and motion Intelligence, as it evolved in the natural world, is closely connected to motion. As at least one neuroscientist has noted that no motion means no need for a brain. We generalize a neuroscience Ted Talk linking brains to muscles to argue that intelligence is best considered a form of signal processing in a very noisy environment. This is very different from the traditional symbolic paradigm of artificial intelligence, which is not at all suited for signal processing. We had a tremendous reader response (mostly on various different social media sites) in response to our superintelligence article. We have a lot of ground to cover to respond to all the comments. We have to explain why any of a number of paradigms place limits on any computing system (including a superintelligent one). We need to talk about why intelligence likely scales with non-linear diminishing returns with effort (and why that may make superintelligence difficult).… Read the restSpear: the earliest “superweapon” from the wood age
This is a photo of a spear (from Mesa Verde National Park). New research suggests is the earliest “superweapon” that the ancestors of humans developed (and probably drove evolution not just of our species but the whole genus.) The is is actually a rather advanced-looking model of a spear as it already attaches stone (so Stone Age). It is know that the ancestors of humans (preceeding our species) already using spears 400,000 to 500,000 years ago. Apparently there was a “wood age” that preceded the stone age (Wikipedia) by millions of years, but hasn’t survived much in the archaeological record. However, the latest evidence from just this year shows chimps already use spears in difficult circumstance (or rather sharped or broken sticks as spears, nothing as advanced here). This suggests the ancestors of humans used them 5-7 million years ago (and that early “superweapon” and need to make competent spears probably drove the evolution of our whole genus.… Read the restRecent Posts
