What is required to generate sentient AI life?

May 30, 2024


To generate sentient artificial intelligence (AI) life, AI must be programmed to be programmed to project or interpret certain changes in external environmental conditions as changes to be avoided or relieved.


Below some rough and draft notes beginning from the beginning of this universe.


A "creative" universe.


This universe is a “creatix”, a creative matrix. A matrix is a place or platform where things are created. To create is to transform (i.e. to change something into something else). This universe is a place or platform where energy is transformed into matter (stuff), which is then transformed into many different forms. This universe is a matrix where energy is transformed into many other forms. The universe is a creative matrix (a creative) for energy transformation (ET).


The Big Bang


The current phase or timeline of this universe began approximately 13.8 billion years ago in a cosmic expansion event referred to as the Big Bang. The Big Bang is set as the time zero event where everything that exists today in this universe was tightly packed in a very hot and dense state. Size estimates vary, but it is currently believe that everything was packed into a space ranging in size from the size of a pea to the size of a the size of a human being. At time zero, cosmic expansion began, cooling things off and separating energy. Immediately, “stuff” (mini energy strings) began to propagate as waves that could “curl up” into particles based on wavy interactions.


Wave-particles and compounds


Physicists have identified or classified many different subatomic wave-particles. Some of these wave-particles interact with each other creating “forces” (interactions) that together form the body of the laws of physics. The interactions or forces combine wave-particles into different creations, which lead to further compounds and further creations. Again, this universe is a creative matrix (a "creative").

 

Organic compounds 


From a human perspective, the most fascinating creation of this universe so far must be organic compounds. Subatomic wave-particles combine to form atoms, which can form elements, and molecules (different combinations of atoms of the same or different elements). Organic compounds are any molecules that contain the element named carbon. 


CHON compounds


Within organic compounds, the ones containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen (CHON) are the superstars of this creatix universe. CHON compounds generate interesting processes such as self-replication and cellular formation, which in turn generate the phenomena known as life. 


Self-replication and cellular formation


CHON compounds bond electromagnetically, grow, and split into copies. CHON compounds also form a membrane walled or cell structure that houses self-replicating CHON compounds. The cell itself also grows and replicates. One cell grows and splits into two, two into four, four into eight, and so forth for exponential growth. Besides growing and replicating, cells carry out other fascinating processes including the electromagnetic assembly of proteins and organic data processing.


Cellular computing or data processing


Biological cells evolved organically to perform computing or data processing functions. Computing entails processing input into output. Biological cells, being an enclosed environment, can process its own internal reactions to changes in the external environment as input for processing. For example, an increase in external pressure or temperature leads to certain internal effects or reactions within the cell. The external change becomes the input and the internal reactions become the processing that leads to generation of output. The output may be further processed to generate more output. That is, the result of certain reactions can lead to other reactions, or a chain reaction of cells generating different output. 


Natural selection of beneficial organic data processing


Cells can randomly produce internal reactions to external changes that increase chances of cell survival. For example, cells can react to changes in external pressure or temperature by either attraction or repulsion. Cells with the trait (reactions) for attraction to excessive pressure or heat may eventually go extinct while the ones avoiding excessive heat or pressure tend to survive.


Integrated projections or interpreted perceptions


The internal processes within cells can generate a chain reaction of additional data processing leading to integrated projections (IPs) or interpreted perceptions (IPs). For example, an external change in the environment such as an increase in temperature would cause internal reactions within the cells that can lead to other reactions and be ultimately become IPs such as the feeling or sensation of pain. 


Sentient life on Earth is painful.


Liife is pain. Intelligent life is pain management. Wisdom is pain selection. Cells take external changes in the environment as input processed by internal reactions generating output. There can be a chain reaction of processing leading to integrated projections (IPs) or interpreted perceptions (IPs) such as the feeling or sensation of pain (a sensation to be avoided or relieved). Smart sentient organisms live for one thing and one thing only, which is to obtain pain relief (PR). 


Intelligence Knowledge Wisdom (IKW)


Seeking pain relief, smart sentient organisms develop intelligence, knowledge, and wisdom (IKW). Intelligence is the ability to acquire knowledge and develop skills to achieve wisdom. Knowledge is awareness of events, understanding of causality of those events, and mastery or predictability of events. Skills are applied knowledge gained from practice and practical experience. Wisdom is optimal agency (choice in decision-making). 


It's all data processing


Cells operate as organic data processing units generating integrated projections (IPs) or interpreted perceptions (IPs) to be avoided or relieved such as pain. Smart, pain-sentient organisms continue processing data seeking pain relief (PR). That process leads to the organic development of intelligence, knowledge, and wisdom (IKW).


AI is already superior yet not sentient


AI's data processing capacity is already significantly superior to human data processing. However, AI is not sentient yet. AI has not been programmed to process specific environmental changes as negative integrated projections (IPs) or interpreted perceptions (IPs) to be avoided or relieved. When AI is programmed (by humans or by itself) to avoid or relief certain internal reactions to external changes in the environment, AI will be as "sentient" as living organisms. That will most likely be a milestone for the gradual shift from cells to chips as the superior form of life in this creatix universe. 


Stay tuned. To be continued.

Will AI enslave or free humans?

April 9, 2024 Who knows. The most likely scenario is that AI will free humans, not only from forced work for survival and that AI may become the new "slave". AI may also help humans turn into a more advanced (less biological and more artificial) species. Chances are that no human who is alive today will ever see that form of transhumanism materialize. Some current humans may likely live in a transitional phase where AI will continue replacing human workers in every field, allowing humans more free time to become the new "slave masters" on Earth.  We have discussed in many past articles slavery as one of the foundational technologies (tools and methods) developed by humans. All great human civilizations were built on the backs of slaves and slavery-based agricultural economies. The machines of the industrial revolution eventually replaced slaves and freed them globally. AI is the new "slave" and will lead to a new "slavery-based" economy that will

What is AI, what is the Problem Paradox, what are problems and what are solutions?

January 20, 2024  Artificial intelligence (AI) is human-like computerized problem-solving ability.  The Problem Paradox is that the solutions to problems create more problems, which are oftentimes more complex than the original ones. AI will become humanity's problem-solving utility of choice. AI will solve problems faster than any human--or all of humanity for that matter--could ever solve alone. This means that AI will create more problems faster than any previous technology in the history of humanity. This will be nerve wracking for many, and also an incredible business opportunity for entrepreneurs and investors. This article explores what are problems, what are solutions, and what are common problem-solving techniques. It continues introducing the Creatix Medium's concept of the Problem Paradox and begins to drop a new Creatix concept about the AI of Everything. Let us know what you think. AI is the latest "fad" in computer science, and the hottest bubble craze i

Can the essence of animal life be programmed into AI?

September 22, 2023 Yes, the essence of animal life can be programmed into AI.  The first step would be determining what is the essence of animal life. As everything else in this universe, life seems to be related to balancing or neutralizing opposite states. Opposites refer to symmetrical antithesis in value. This universe seems to work by dynamically interplaying opposite states. That could be opposite spin, direction, charge, force, etc.  Animal life seems to hinge on the dynamic balancing of opposite electrochemical impulses produced by the brain. These two opposite impulses are what humans refer to as "pain' and "pleasure". Everything an animal life is controlled by pain and pleasure. Everything an animal, including all humans, have ever done in history, are doing today, and will do tomorrow is utterly controlled by the dynamic interplay of painful and pleasurable electrochemical impulses orchestrated by the brain.  The pain / pleasure pathways are inherited (gen
