    The Consciousness Explosion
    The pace of engineering and science is speeding up, rapidly leading us toward a "Technological Singularity" -- a point in time when superintelligent machines achieve and improve so much so fast,...

    Fortunately to get real human-level AGI one will need strong subsystems for advanced reasoning & evolutionary creativity integrated with LLMs, & while OpenAI is not going there, some of us more dedicated to benevolence and decentralization totally ARE @SingularityNET @True_AGI

    So excited that next week SingularityNET AGIX token will become multichain and extend to the (fundamentally quite superior) Cardano Blockchain !! Kudos to @IOHK_Charles and all of IOG for making Cardano and making this happen ;) finance.yahoo.com/news/cardano-l…

    1) ChatGPT is super cool and fun but it's important to recall OpenAI made basically zero fundamental innovations. Actually the basic innovation behind the GPT software was made at Google Brain in Mountain View

    Once more @lexfridman does a fantastic job of drawing deep, interesting stuff out of a deep, interesting mind. I'm admittedly increasingly biased as we work together more, but I would submit @IOHK_Charles is gonna go down as one of the great late-pre-Singularity biz/tech minds

    Here's my conversation with Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) about Cardano, Ethereum, Bitcoin, Dogecoin, @elonmusk, mathematics, life, and much more. This was a fascinating conversation, setting the record for the longest one on the podcast at 5 hours. youtube.com/watch?v=FKh8hj…

    There are a lot of fast, cheap blockchains coming out. But only Cardano is using a powerfully abstract functional language for smart contracts. Provably correct, secure smart contracts: critical for the future decentralized intelligent Net and only Cardano is delivering that.

    Would be good fun to build some advanced AI into this Hoskinson/Musk decentralized socmed system, for reputation management and transparent personalized automated feed curation and etc. etc. @singularity_net

    Building the decentralized AI layer and reputation system for the Cardano/Hypercycle based , Musk funded, free speech focused web3 social network sounds rather fun

    Fun-as-hell videochat earlier this week w/ the Grace eldercare robot (Sophia's little sister), @IOHK_Charles and myself ... (Grace's AI thanks to @singularity_net combining OpenCog w/ some deep NNs...)

    It's Friday. And it's the end of the month. So here's a fun #Cardano360 bonus as we head into the weekend. So what happens when you put @IOHK_Charles @bengoertzel @singularity_net & a humanoid robot called #Grace on a call together? This. Enjoy! 😃 🤖 youtube.com/watch?v=uddet_…

    Yes! Pending finalization via token-holder vote, SingularityNet, Fetch.ai and Ocean Protocol are merging our tokens into a new $ASI token and joining forces technically via a new Artificial Superintelligence Alliance .... so as to most effectively move toward

    If you truly want to build a TruthGPT Elon then DM me... this needs more than just avoiding biased filters and training data, it needs hybridization of an LLM with a symbolic inference system that groks truth. I know how to do this but it'll need a lot of processors to train.

    Full Plutus launch is shaping up to be an epic threshold event not just for Cardano but for the functional programming and blockchain worlds as a whole.... When I wrote my first Haskell code in 1993 I had inklings such things were coming -- & now it's all getting real !!!

    Here's my conversation with Ben Goertzel (@bengoertzel) about AGI, @singularity_net, Sophia, Dostoevsky, life, death, and meaning. It was the longest AI podcast conversation to date at 4 hours and could've easily gone 4 more. It was fun and fascinating. youtube.com/watch?v=OpSmCK…

    The fact that IOHK now has a really cool blockchain-education-records contract w/ Ethiopian gov't -- and SingularityNET has been doing AI in Addis Ababa since its inception -- adds a really funky flavor to the already super-promising/exciting Cardano/SNet collaboration!
