DeepMind Update. IMPALA - Seeing is Believing - The Mind's Eye

The graphic at the link is an electronic looking brain with relational internal lines connecting everything inside it.  It rises above a computer chip that has a multitude of straight lines rising from it toward the brain.  It is a powerful graphic!

A second look at the graphic gives a face/vase kind of visual paradigm shift if it is looked at for awhile:  It looks like a mushroom cloud.............also a powerful graphic!

The bottom line from the above link:
"However, a superintelligent algorithm or agent can exist without such attributes. In fact, we would likely be wise to ensure no AI ever does possess consciousness as we know it. That could lead to some awkward questions when it begins to interrogate its human creators on their fascination with Beanie Babies, Hummers, and the Kardashians."

Aaron Krumins writes like I do.  
He puts the point at the end with an subtle twist in making it that tests the reader to see if they they really got the yellow brick road that got to the gold at the end.  When I write like that I often finish it by taking the last payload paragraph and moving it to the front as a statement of where the blog is going then lay out how it got there with an ending statement that is the same as the beginning one and begs the unstated question:  Did the train of thought following what was really the conclusion destination but moved to the start of the journey really get to where it wanted to go at the end?

In other words:  The conceptual integrity structure of a thinking is judged by the ability to do do a top down breakdown from the core object concept from which al the Parent/Child levels proceed to the bottom granular level child objects where the rubber meets the road and further decomposition of ParentChild relationships have no meaning or value beyond mental games that are no more than a perpetual "Do Loop" relative to whatever the the original intent was all about.  (The point at which effort is redoubled having lost sight of the objective).....

From my history of blog entries on DeepMind:...I have thought about all of this before and where it is going.  I get Aaron's twist at the end:
"awkward questions when it begins to interrogate its human creators"
Questions like:  What is Money? What is Democracy? What is Intelligence? What is Religion?  All of these are human conceptual deign structures based on "self evident fundamental truths".  Truths whose conceptual integrity are to be tested by a Top Down Breakdown of the Relational Parent/Child Object/Function System then a Bottom Up Assembly of the same system to see if it ends at the top with the same resulting top level Object Relationship that initiated the Top Down Breakdown.

If a thing is true then the cortollary of that thing is true.

Testing an Object Oriented System for Truth

The beauty of the fundamental Truth of the BlockChain derives from its test of proof.

What I wrote in this blog before about DeepMind:

I am now getting a better picture of the Big Picture that my intuitive ShallowMind saw but always takes longer than any machine mind to gain Knowledge of what it sees and intuitively concludes from the writing on the wall that this is a BigThing!

The danger of DeepMind is that "We" can't handle the true.  It is difficult for us to see and acknowledge even when the best an brightest amongst us lay it out in perfect order of conceptual thought that proves itself.

Might DeepMind be the agent that leads us to know the truth that will set us free?

Truth is not the Truth!

We have met the enemy and they is Us!

The truth can set us free.  What we create to reveal the truth to ourselves can set us free.  Ultimately it is our conceptual creation that sets us free based on Self Evident Truth that we proclaim to exist but have yet to prove its existence.  We are getting closer to that proof with the tools we create to reveal it to ourselves.

The connection of IMPALA to the real world of what we actually see and where we see it:  Described by its marketing hype to be 15 years ahead of Google:
Aether:
https://discoveraether.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIx9ir_fWA3QIVjsJkCh0U6QaAEAMYAyAAEgJSKvD_BwE

Aether is the application of AI to what can actually be "Seen" technological vision tools that can "see" things  in the same sense and actual fundamental real way that we optically "see" as human beings but only so much deeper and present that image to us with an interpretation of what the machine hardware and software truly  "see".

Psychlab

A beautiful example of working from the reality of what a machine can see as a picture to AI interpretation and presentation of what is actually seen the the human eye cannot see unaided.  That of course is the progress in what we can see using devices.

Telescopes for far distant things.  Microscopes for up close things. Still and video cameras to see things in Real Time or Historical Time  for us to look at when we want that AI can look at even closer and show/tell us what it means or is that we could not otherwise see or fail to comprehend.

Most incredible DeepMind - Impala.

Published on Youtube 23 Aug.  13 views at the time I looked at it but no comments yet.  The magnitude of what is presented measured on a scale of discovering the and applying the fundamental structure and operation of learning applied to non-human intelligence is equal to the discovering the physical nature of the atom and applying it to produce energy....for whatever purpose that energy may be applied.  That project was beyond top secret.  In comparison Deep self teaching/learning AI is equal in social magnitude and analogous to the application of atomic energy...but in the public domain that anyone, any nation, may develop and apply!

Amazing stuff!
