Goertzel is also working on longevity research by crowdsourcing human health data with token rewards via an <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a> called Rejuve.ai. That information is then pooled with animal and insect study data and analyzed with an AI to determine which parts of the genomes can make us live longer and then stimulated using gene therapies. Weve had some quite striking breakthrough-level discoveries, he says. Oh, and just before our hour-long interview winds up, he casually mentions as an aside that hes also creating a stablecoin for his decentralized AI marketplace, Singularity.net, thats pegged to a synthetic index of environmental progress  because pegging it to U.S. dollars would be lame.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Progress on the environment is very stable. It never goes anywhere, he points out. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>And to manipulate this, you have to actually solve global warming.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Its the exact sort of political comment meets high-tech know-how you might expect from Goertzel, who looks and sounds like a hippie scientist who stumbled into a time machine in 1971 and emerged fully formed in 2023.

He freely concedes there are risks in building a machine thats capable of learning anything and everything, including how to reprogram itself to become an order of magnitude more intelligent than any human.<\/p>\n<p>Theres a number of risks and dangers with AGI, says Goertzel over the din at an Indian restaurant in a busy shopping center in Singapore. One of them thats gotten a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> attention is that AGI will run amok and annihilate humanity and take over the universe. Its entirely possible; you cant rule it out, he says.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Another more probable risk is that nasty selfish people will use AI to exert their own greed and control over other people.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In his view, governments are unlikely to make breakthroughs in AGI as they are too conservative and stupid, though he notes China contracts out its AGI work to companies like Tencent and Baidu. Closer to home, he thinks Google and Facebooks AI divisions wont get over the line either, as theyll be too focused on making the AI hit certain metrics, which is not conducive to creative thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Just like the most brilliant people dont want to merely serve someone elses metrics, I think artificial general intelligence doesnt necessarily want to maximize click-through on someones web page either, right?

You really need to train the AI on a shitload of data.<\/p>\n<p>This is where blockchain comes as a way to make the processing and the data underlying AI decentralized and crowdsourced in nature and open in control. And that turns out to be trickier than just open-sourcing the code.<\/p>\n<p>Goertzel founded OpenCog in 2008 to build an open-source, crowd-sourced artificial intelligence framework. Its been used by 50 companies, including Huawei and Cisco, and is set for a major upgrade soon called Hyperon that aims to accelerate it by 200 times.

He describes it as some primitive distributed algorithms added to cryptography, but the cool combination enables systems to run without centralized control, making it perfect for his needs.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>If you are going to make a thinking machine and you are going to make it distributed nanoscale computing fabric, it would be very nice if this was owned by everyone and no one rather than controlled top down.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Blockchains are far too slow to deal with the processing requirements and massive volumes of data involved, so theres something of a race to properly scale blockchain before a breakthrough AGI is developed. Goertzel says that while scaling solutions such as zero-knowledge rollups are better, they still dont have enough bandwidth due to the limitations of the blockchain to which they report transactions.<\/p>\n<p>He co-founded Singularity.net in 2017, which is both a decentralized marketplace for AI services and technology and a blockchain-based coordination method for researchers  or even AIs  to work together.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, based on Ethereum, he thinks hes pushed things about as far as they can go on blockchain in its current form. So, when hes not working on a breakthrough in AGI (or the band, or robots, or longevity), hes working on massively scaling blockchain to give it the throughput required.<\/p>\n<p>Unless you can radically increase the scalability of blockchain, you cant put the inner workings of the AI on-chain.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">My dad <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tedgoertzel?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@tedgoertzel<\/a>  dug up this clipping from 1961 (5 yrs pre-me) when he was co-chair of SLAM, the Student League Against Mortality, a student org w\/ aim of abolishing death.

HyperCycle will cooperate with Ethereum and other blockchains as well, but were gonna use the Plutus interpreter there, but were getting rid of the ledger.<\/p>\n<p>He has described HyperCycle online as solving the blockchain trilemma of decentralization vs. security vs. performance by getting rid of the ledger and using more modern\/fully decentralized algos and data structures, plus a bit of AI and reputation systems.<\/p>\n<p>The ledger is at the heart of blockchain tech, but he says getting every node in the network to replicate each transaction and process every smart contract is ludicrously inefficient.<\/p>\n<p>The ledger is just bad. If you think about it, if you think about the analogy of your contacts in your phonebook, I mean, the ledger is like [\u2026] keeping 10,000 copies of Yellow Pages, and youre updating them every time someone new comes or if somebody changes their phone number.

Every individual engaged in the blockchain keeps their own transaction history and keeps the transaction history of their friends and some of their friends friends, he says. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>\u201cSharding all the way down, you dont need a ledger  you dont need a database table. These things are way too centralized.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He says some proof-of-concept HyperCycle nodes are already operational, but a full-scale launch wont happen until the second half of 2024.<\/p>\n<p>We spend a long time discussing the various merits of different approaches to blockchain, from Internet Computer to Elastos and Celestia, much of which is above my pay grade and beyond the capability of my recording device to accurately capture in a noisy restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>He concludes by saying, So, I just feel like none of these architectures are radical enough. Theyre all sticking too close to Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>As long as youre running every smart contract on every node, I mean, its going to be insanely slow.

I mean, politically hes more of a hardcore libertarian than I am  Im more of an anarcho-socialist  but he isnt just in it to make money or fleece other people out of their money.<\/p>\n<p>But the real appeal of Cardano is that it uses the Haskell programming language, which Goertzel has been a fan of since 1993. It pains him greatly that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin went with Gavin Woods smart contract programming language Solidity.<\/p>\n<p>If only Vitalik had known more computer science, he would have made them use Haskell or F Sharp or something, and thered be far fewer hacks of the blockchain, he says.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>If youre going to be running most of the worlds economy, trading trillions of dollars on some software system, you would be better off to build that software system in a language that is not prone to bugs and where your algorithms can be formally verified using a mathematical theory. Its just the right way to do things.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stop-gap_solution\"><\/span><strong>Stop-gap solution<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>No matter how fast blockchain gets, as soon as the AGI is an order of magnitude smarter and more capable than humans are, Goertzel says its not going to let anyone control it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When an AGI is 100 times smarter than people, it doesnt want to be controlled by us, as we wouldnt be controlled by a chimpanzee or a donkey, right?<\/p>\n<p>Then I would say the question isnt one of us controlling it, the question is: Is it well disposed to us? Will it let people regulate their own business and supply us with cool tools and nano assemblers to 3D print all the stuff that we want and cure our diseases?<\/p>\n<p>But the transition period when the AGI is around the same intelligence as people, thats when things are more touchy and more interesting. And the question is then: Does the AGI want to cooperate with people? Or is it paranoid and wants to control people before they destroy it?<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Nothing to see here just a robot dog with a machine gun being dropped by a drone<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3jfwbnJMnk\">pic.twitter.com\/3jfwbnJMnk<\/a><br \/>via <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EvanKirstel?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@EvanKirstel<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/robot?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#robot<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/robotics?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#robotics<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Military?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Military<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AI?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AI<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SpirosMargaris?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SpirosMargaris<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mvollmer1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@mvollmer1<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jblefevre60?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@jblefevre60<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Nicochan33?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Nicochan33<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Shi4Tech?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Shi4Tech<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PawlowskiMario?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@PawlowskiMario<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/labordeolivier?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@labordeolivier<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FrRonconi?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@FrRonconi<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Fabriziobustama?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Fabriziobustama<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jeroen Bartelse (@JeroenBartelse) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JeroenBartelse\/status\/1587584750994194434?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 1, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Teach_your_children_well\"><\/span><strong>Teach your children well<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In Goertzels opinion, the solution is to teach the AGI about caring for others and about creativity and art.
