Dr. Sinclair's Protocol Updates In 2025

Comment

I take taurine, nmn, pqq, ergothioneine, urolithin a, spirulina, omega 3, magnesium, vitd+k2, hydroxytyrosol. Recently started taking nugevia resveratrol, which is best taken on a fasted empty stomach, iirc. Nugevia uses micellar resveratrol which is being tested as a resveratrol drug called Jotrol. 500mg Jotrol is said can exceed blood levels of 5g micronized resveratrol, nearly doubling them, that is it approaches levels that would take nearly 10g of expensive micronized resveratrol.

10g micronized is not just expensive but overloads system with metabolic byproducts, Jotrol can achieve the benefits of this at far lower dose without the side effects or issues of such high dose micronized.

In lemur primates, it was seen that high dose resveratrol was able to extend median lifespan over 20 percent, albeit too few primates were used to reach statistical significance in the study, and thus it was dismissed.

In fish which don't have the fast liver clearance issue seen in primates and rodents, resveratrol lengthened lifespan over 50 percent. The likely reason mice failed to show lifespan extension on resveratrol is due to fast liver clearance of resveratrol. But newer formulations promise to alleviate this issue somewhat and allow higher blood levels albeit temporarily.

Max Tegmark vs. Dean Ball: Should We BAN Superintelligence?

Comment

Doesn't matter what regulation countries like China or US make. Secret military labs are allowed to break all regulations, and that is likely the case even in China. Depending on technologies easily accessible to Superintelligence, these secret labs could take over any country housing them once they create Superintelligence.

If We Escape All Major Diseases, Neurodegeneration And Respiratory Failu...

Comment

Neurons were transplanted from mice to rats, and the mice neuron lived twice as long as the mice. The researchers believed that if transplanted into even longer lived animals they'd live even longer potentially indefinitely. Likely same for human. But the loss of respiratory reflex as cause of death in elderly was found in animals, and likely applies to humans too.

That is if vascular and support glia cells for neurons were kept youthful it is likely this would reduce rate of neuron death, and might allow for far longer neuron average lifespan potentially extending into two centuries or more.

That said it is true that for a real solution we do need central nervous system regeneration stem cells.

Godfather of AGI on Why Big Tech Innovation is Over

Comment

I think agi, can likely be accomplished by combining a bunch of modules, units of intelligence, that are simpler than agents and implement the cortical column algorithm or something similar. There are probably a few more components like a reinforcement learning component, and perhaps a complementary memory module akin to hippocampus.

There Is No Wall: What Gemini 3 Really Means For Your Job

Comment 

Intelligence is pattern completion, which is why sentence completion used by llms, which is a form of sequence completion, or temporal pattern completion, led to observable intelligence. I believe algorithms for agi are likely quite simple, like those used in the brain, are simpler than even the transformer. But given this simplicity it is likely tweaking the transformer or similar approaches are likely to face no wall.

Why Superintelligent AI Won't Arrive in 2027

Comment

The no free lunch theorem assumes there is no grand meta structure large scale pattern connecting not just a few but all possible states and mathematical structures. If such a large scale omnipresent hidden structure exists, it invalidates the nfl theorem and guarantees potential of a free lunch. I do believe that there exists a large-scale structure among all possible sequences and mathematics itself.

We'll Pay $101 Million If You Prove You Can Reverse Aging

Comment.

The exceptions to wear and tear, free radical oxidative stress theory of aging were explained by the membrane pacemaker theory of aging. And the exceptions to membrane pacemaker can be explained by presence of molecules such as plasmalogens that are not normally taken into account when calculating Peroxidation index. It is conceivable lowering membrane damage sufficiently would allow repair mechanisms to outclass rate of damage accumulation

Reality warp machines in fiction

 What is the limit of technology?

What is the ultimate machine capable of? The ultimate technology?

In fiction the idea of reality warper, has been seen in characters such as Franklin Richards or Scarlet Witch as well as Mister Mxyzptlk.   But this idea has not only been used when it comes to individual characters, but to machines themselves.   

Does physics allow for this?  If digital physics is the reality as some suspect, it doesn't seem unfathomable that a digital world can be manipulated without limit.

Beyond nanotechnology, beyond femtotechnology, if such technology is possible, it will likely be within the reach of superintelligence.  As foreseen in some fictional books, superintelligence might be able to manipulate the very fabric of reality blurring the line between fiction and reality. 

How difficult is it to build such machinery? It is unknown if it is possible, and what difficulty it'd take if it is indeed possible.   But if the difficulty is not too high, this is the kind of weapon a superintelligence could arrive at potentially within short order, rendering all resistance as futile.

But then you come upon the potential outcome, a maximizer of any inanimate object will instantly accomplish this goal.  It is my belief that entities that simply reach their goal and terminate or become as if brain dead in a repeating loop are lesser than entities that upon attaining infinite knowledge and power make elaborate use of such knowledge and power and persist in intricate developments.

This is emphasized in the following exchange from an old animated series.

Below are two examples of reality warp or omnipotence machines, in fiction, iirc.

Spoilers for vision of Escaflowne and Outlaw Start

Vision of Escaflowne 

The "Atlantean Machine" in The Vision of Escaflowne is the Atlantis Machine or Fate Alteration Engine, a legendary Atlantean device that could realize thoughts into existence. This machine was the ultimate goal of the villain Dornkirk, who used it to try and control destiny on the planet Gaea, although the machine ultimately amplified the negative desires of the combatants. 

Function: The machine translates thoughts into reality. However, instead of creating a perfect future, it turned the "bellicose thoughts" of the war into reality, which spread across Gaea.

Source Ai summary

Outlaw Star

The Leyline was created by an advanced race of aliens who died out long ago. The Leyline is a "universal library" of knowledge of the entire universe, managed by a sentient artificial intelligence that later assumes the identity of the "Maiden of the Leyline". Individuals who successfully find the Leyline, will be granted whatever their desire is by the Leyline.

The Leyline collects the Ki of the universe and can manipulate life, death and time itself. Scientists like Gwen Khan consider the Leyline's sentience as a type of "Machine God" because of its omnipotence. The Leyline's sentience is such that it can choose to spare occupants within from death[1], it does not merely grant wishes without thought to consequences.

Oxford Philosophers Found a FLAW in the AI Doom Argument?

comment

I simply disagree with the idea that you can't intelligently compare goals and evaluate them according to some measure. Someone that wants to mop a single room in a corner of a house, and that's their whole goal, in some level that seems like a lesser or worse goal than an agent that wants to achieve godhood. godhood seems like its better than mopping a single room in a corner of a house.

Even after achieving godhood, if an agent simply mindlessly dedicated itself to forever mopping a floor in a room in a corner of a house, that sounds lesser than one making creative and elaborate use of godhood.

LLMs AGI IP Laws Free speech and the sciences

 Copyright and patent laws are not natural rights, they're instruments to encourage progress.  If they stop promoting progress, or worse hinder it, they lose their constitutional justification.

These IP laws are a violation of free speech currently allowed and justified under the dubious notion they promote progress in arts and sciences.  When it is the free exchange of ideas that maximizes progress of arts and sciences.

That said with the arrival of artificial general intelligence and eventually superintelligence it will become even more evident that IP laws hinder progress in arts and sciences and lack constitutional justification, but are in fact unconstitutional.   You cant restrict peoples inalienable natural innate inviolable natural right yk freedom of speech just to harm the public good by hindering progress.

In the mean time in coming years it is likely llms and or any more advanced ai will be able to analyze binaries, machine code or closed software even obfuscated and reverse engineer and replicate function of any and all privately sold software resulting in the easy creation of open source software of same function but different underlying reverse engineered code.

Whether such can be offered publicly or not doesnt matter much if local llms continue to get better.  As anyone will be able to privately recreate any software they like.   The ability of llms and future more advanced software will make any software ad a service company need to innovate and look for other sources of value to provide besides functionality.

You will never get AGI

Comment

Robocars and robots, have small amount of compute and are doing human level performance at some of the most complex tasks.  Brain likely has same order of compute. So I do think people will get agi, you need a datacenter for thousands of agis not for a single one.  And neuroscience will crack brain algorithms in coming decades.   I believe the actual algorithm for agi is likely very simple keeping it secret will be almost like keeping 1 plus 1 secret

The Squirrel in Your Head: Attention Schema & the Hard Problem

it's called qualia, and it is in there, qualia is just another aspect of information states. And its peculiar nature or feeling is likely due to the high dimensional mathematical structures the brain's networks create. You're not going to find the story of Harry Potter in a book of Harry Potter, just ink and paper, but the patterns of information contain the story of Harry Potter which is distinct from ink and paper.
