The Universe is Just a LEGO Set: How to Build Intelligence with Kaleidoscope Glasses─影片 Dailymotion

Topic Discussion： "If the universe is just 5 basic 'ingredients' remixed, does that make humans cosmic smoothie blenders?"  Opinion 1： "Absolutely! We're the ultimate kitchen gadget – toss in stardust, hit 'blend', and voilà: Shakespeare, TikTok dances, and nacho cheese flavored Doritos all from the same 5 atoms!"  Opinion 2： "Nah, we're more like drunk DJs at the universe's party – keeps sampling gravity's bassline with neurology's synths but somehow ends up remixing everything into cat memes."  What you think? 1 or 2?

00:00What are we still missing?

00:02So, I've said that intelligence is the efficiency with which you operationalize the past to face a constantly changing future.

00:11But, of course, if the future you face had really nothing in common with the past, no common ground with anything you've seen before,

00:19you could not make sense of it, no matter how intelligent you were.

00:22But here's the thing. Nothing is ever truly novel.

00:26The universe around you is made of many different things that are all similar to each other,

00:31like one tree is similar to another tree is also similar to your neuron,

00:35or electromagnetism is similar to hydrodynamics is also similar to gravity.

00:42So, we are surrounded by isomorphisms.

00:45I call this the kaleidoscope hypothesis.

00:48Our experience of the world seems to feature a never-ending novelty and complexity,

00:53but the number of unique atoms of meaning that you need to describe it is actually very small.

00:58And everything around you is a recombination of these atoms.

01:03And intelligence is the ability to mine your experience to identify these atoms of meaning

01:10that can be reused across many different situations, across many different tasks.

01:14And this involves identifying invariance, structure, things that seem to be repeated, principles.

01:23And these building blocks, these atoms, are called abstractions.

01:28And whenever you encounter a new situation, you're going to make sense of it

01:32by recombining on the fly abstractions from your collection

01:36to create a brand new model that's adapted to the situation.

01:40So, implementing intelligence is going to have two key parts.

01:44First, there's abstraction acquisition.

01:47You want to be able to efficiently extract reusable abstractions from your past experience,

01:53from a feed of data, for instance.

01:55And then, there's on-the-fly recombination.

01:58You want to be able to efficiently select and recombine these building blocks

02:04into models that are fit for...
