Скачать или смотреть Episode 36: Speed Limit of Intelligence | SpaceTime Cafe

Welcome to Episode 36 of SpaceTime Cafe! In this mind-bending episode, we dive deep into the idea that intelligence might possess a fundamental speed limit. Drawing from diverse fields such as neuroscience, complex systems theory, number theory, and quantum physics, we explore how these seemingly unrelated areas converge to provide a unified understanding of intelligence. We discuss the classic tension in machine learning between variance and bias, and introduce the concept of the spectral gap as a critical factor in the propagation of information in networks. Additionally, we delve into Emmy Noether's theorem and its implications on conserved quantities in cognition, suggesting that meaning itself could be seen as the Noether charge of cognition. As we navigate through these complex topics, we also connect the dots to practical applications in AI and human cognition. Finally, Wallace Stevens' poem 'The Snowman' serves as a metaphorical guide, emphasizing the importance of objective clarity in perceiving the true landscape of reality. Join us as we cut through complexity and offer surprising insights into the nature of intelligence and understanding.
