How Physics Absorbed Artificial Intelligence & (Maybe) Consciousness

Early access interview with Max Tegmark

Hot off the press, an interview at MIT with Max Tegmark. We cover:

  • Why / how AI has officially become physics

  • The brain scanner experiment that could prove consciousness theories

  • Why the Turing Test was passed and nobody noticed

  • How neural networks spontaneously discover geometric understanding

  • The physics of intelligence and goal-oriented behavior (from photons to people)

  • Intelligence without consciousness and consciousness without intelligence

  • Why AI pessimism is a PSYOP and resistance is not futile

Max will likely appear again on Theories of Everything discussing his mathematical universe hypothesis, however today we talked about all the topics above. Max tackles the intersection of physics, consciousness, and artificial intelligence with clarity.

I want to hear from you in the Substack comment section below. I read each and every response.
