| | | | | Two weeks ago, I gave a lecture setting out my current thoughts on AI safety, halfway through my year at OpenAI. I was asked to speak by UT Austin's Effective Altruist club. You can watch the lecture on YouTube here (I recommend 2x speed). The timing turned out to be weird, coming immediately after the... | |

| | | [AI summary] The text discusses Steven Lehar's harmonic resonance theory and its connection to brain function, particularly in relation to visual perception and neural computation. Lehar's theory suggests that the brain operates through resonant modes rather than individual neurons, and this idea is supported by connectome-specific harmonic wave theory, which links the brain's functional networks to its anatomical structure. The text also explores the implications of these theories, including potential applications in neuroscience and the study of consciousness, such as the possibility of directly manipulating brain harmonics to induce specific states of consciousness. | ||
