  • Are insects the key to brain-inspired computing? Neuroscientist Frances S. Chance thinks so. In this buzzy talk, she shares examples of the incredible capabilities of insects -- like the dragonfly's deadly accurate hunting skills and the African dung beetle's super strength -- and shows how untangling the mysterious web of neurons in their tiny brains could lead to breakthroughs in computers, AI and more.

    I'm a software engineer who has been focussed on AI for over forty years now. I think that the path you are on is very promising! If you can crack this coordinate transformation problem, it may directly shed light on how 'reference frames' (as conceived by Jeff Hawkins) work in human intelligence. And, if we could understand and build up from there, we could really be off to the races!

    I read the title, and instantly images of Starship Troopers came to mind, except that the bugs were giant terminator robot bugs instead! But on watching the video, the logic to the process just makes so much sense, and seems so obvious with hindsight, that you just know that it is the way forward in these matters. Great video.

    That's so interesting! Our crew recently filmed a project that aims to use AI models to decode whale communication. This would be groundbreaking since sperm whales have the biggest brain on earth, and understanding their complex behaviour could be game-changing for us. Could AI help us understand their complex behaviour, their complex sounds, and what they are doing in the deep sea? We're excited to see the outcome of this technology and confident that we will soon learn even more about the minds of sperm whales.

    We'll most likely have AGI systems before we build these biologically inspired computers she describes. The simple answer is that autonomous agents will set out to find an optimal computing substrate. Biological brains seem appealing yet consider how prone they are to all sorts of problems (diseases, injuries, etc). I would assume the next best computational substrate is not necessarily mammalian-inspired but something far better.

    This video isn’t a parody. The moon contains a huge insect colony with its own leaders. Do you remember Starship Troopers? That movie was designed as a metaphor of the intellectual conflict between insect philosophy, and human philosophy.
    Insect societies raise baby insects which have been specifically bred to occupy a specific social role. Communists want to do the same thing with humans. Japan is in favor of this idea. There will be Japanese truck drivers who can do nothing else; Japanese cooks who can do nothing else; and Japanese garbage collectors who can do nothing else. It’s destiny!
    In the “Transformer” movies, the military had become partners with giant transforming computers (displayed as humanoid robots) to protect the human race from insect domination.
    The intent of the “Transformer” movies was to convince the public that only the military, in combination with giant computers, can defend earth from external threats like insects.
    But the military wants to follow the insect tradition of raising babies who have been specifically bred for a job, and a social position. That’s why the D.O.D. has such a huge investment in human D.N.A. patents.
    And that’s why all patents must be declared invalid. First of all, the D.O.D. doesn’t own a single pencil. All government property belongs to the taxpayer. And secondly, humans aren’t bred like farm animals. People choose a spouse for many reasons, and none of those reasons is a concern of the Pentagon.
    Insect societies are inherently evil. Yes, they’re well planned. If you consider slavery and vicious military domination to be good planning.

It's maybe not the death of creativity, but it's the death of creativity as something celebrated and appreciated for what it really is.
