The consistency of ideas. He has been working out .. honing these ideas for more than 15 years imo.. it's like an art piece ... Everything hangs together so beautifully. Most optimal encoding = most true = most beautiful.
well as it turned out - I did get to do another interview with Joscha Bach while he was in Melbourne - hopefully it appears as one of the recommended videos in the side bar to the right or at the end of this video
This is a very inspiring and futuristic field. It would help a lot of social, personal and educational problems as well as treatment fields for cognitive sciences. Go for it Joscha.
I find it great that there are videos like this. Thanks to Adam and to Joscha Bach. Please try to get a Part II of this video with a wider spectrum of questions. This inspires people who want to be part in the formation of AI.
yes so I did get a part II - it's 4 years later, and this time was done in Australia around the time of IJCAI17 and AGI17. Also there is another talk of his that I recorded ruclips.net/video/xqetKitv1Ko/видео.html
These are really insightful ideas. The objectivity brought to bear on issues through this kind of computer speak generates very novel concepts that could be useful....the downside is the absolutism and the reductionist conclusions generated by those same mechanistic models.
It's funny how Joscha looks similar to Gary Numan! I always have to think of the Numan song "Down in the Park", when people talk about the future of AI/ AGI! o_O ! ;)
They just confirmed we are on track for five degree global warming, and he knew it seven years ago. When you watch the beginning of the new film on Michael Moore’s channel, you can see that scientists already knew about human made global warming in the 1950’s! It’s already on film back then!
Too many people live for the Future; therefore, if the future includes death, they will deny that the Future will not come into being. Now is where we exist, however, few understand the difference between the present and the future. People are very confused about living.
The capacity for human life relies invariably on a mix of the past, the present and the future. This was Heidegger's insight in Das Einz. The difference between us and animals. But I think animals have an inkling about that as well.
AI vs. me. Today. I will win. AI vs. me in 20 years. I will win. See the problem? Why is it AI vs. Me (in my mind) and not AI stands with me for a common goal?

Yes, but his ideas defined evolved.
I wish we had more time to do the interview. I hope that I get the chance to do further interviews with Josha Bach.

Joscha was great, during the FHI Winter Intelligence conference he often had some great comments during some of the sessions.
Fascinating.. thanks Adam!
we're still here
yes, but it would be difficult to report otherwise if we weren't

Indeed thanks, that was a great interview
This was really good, thanks Adam.
Thanks Pedro - glad you found it useful. I want to meet Joscha and interview him again.
Many Thanks!

If there was not a survival advantage from thinking about the future humans would not have evolved the ability to do so.
The details says the name is "Joscha Bach, Ph.D.", but in the title, is reads "Josha Bach". So there must be a typo.
Is he God ?

If you base your proof of concept on what works, you are simply recapitulating the more-than 100-year old philosophy of pragmatism.
This might be more meaningful if you had examples of breakthroughs that came from proofs of concepts based upon that which does not work.
