Jonas Gonzalez

00:00:00 Intro.

00:01:34 Jonas' story. Math, physics towards computer science, AI, and robotics.

00:05:09 Embodiment in intelligence.

00:07:25 LLMs in robots. Should we put LLMs in robots? Can we teach them as kids if they can speak? Will they develop their personalities depending on their unique experience? Should we add episodic memory to them?

00:19:02 Relevance realization. How to filter important information from the immense incoming flow of signals? The top-down aspect of perception. Cultural learning and binding.

00:23:30 Limits of GI. Is there an inherent limit to how intelligent a being can be? What if too much intelligence makes the map take over the agent, leading to something like schizophrenia?

00:29:20 Continual learning. The brain is a little scientist. The scientific method: where do the hypotheses come from? Where does the value of a proposition come from? How do we decide what proposition to prove or what experiment to run? Why did I work on the Higgs boson?

00:37:37 Dog intelligence. Do dogs want to "go beyond" what is "visible", or is it a purely human drive?

00:40:00 Collective alignment. Higher level collective consciousness and its relationship to human and AI alignment.

00:47:21 AGI. How far are we from AGI?

00:50:38 Robots. Bodies are the bottleneck of robotics research.

00:57:09 Jonas' dream: connecting the dots, merging the cognitive modules and experiment in the real world, towards a dog intelligence in 5-10 years.

01:01:13 High-functioning zombies. Should we be afraid of the them: an agent smart enough to plan, but not smart enough to see the harm that some of the planned actions may cause?
