#berkeley update

So.

#berkeley update.

New team coming together. Will take us to the wire because of this, so after Christmas not before.

New focus, though underlying tech remains the same.

All-out adjusting for the requirements, expectations, and needs of the US market in question, and its investors of course.

And new domains – currently on forwarding – to go with the proposal:

ive.pics and ivepics.com

It’s a three-pronged proposal, and in the bag, if obtained, goes my PhD too. Another example of when the US may possibly deliver where other places ultimately showed unimaginative tardiness.

And I did submit to a Liverpool university, but interest has been delayed, after a decision was promised before Christmas.

So if #berkeley did say yes to ive.pics, I would push very hard to convince them about the PhD too.

We’ll see.

The #crime of #rationality: an #ai project in the making

They said we have five senses.

Now some say twenty-odd senses. Or mebbe twenty odd-senses.

🙂

Here, if our COMMON knowledge of the world is – in NEVER simple hindsight – a gross Newtonian simplification, perhaps our understanding of what the brain can perceive is inaccurate too.

When John Forbes Nash Jr’s brain was white-coated so aggressively, when he concluded from the evidence before him that evil Russians were stretching out a personal vendetta and conspiracy against him … this was when society and his doctors chose to dampen him severely down, and even imprison him.

NOT because of what his SYMBOLIC mind perceived: rather, because of what his RATIONAL mind concluded.

He was judged so wrong, IMHO, not because he sensed in the first place there was a “thing” out there: an existential dog whistle only schizophrenics easily sense. After all, people who believe in God can claim they sense similar things without being white-coated.

On existential dog whistles

No. It wasn’t that he saw something – with his #arational, #intuitive, and #beautifulmind of #superskills – which others find it harder to perceive.

His crime was when his #rational #logician‘s #conscience of correctitude found itself obliged to kick in and devise an acceptably Newtonian explanation.

No?

UC Berkeley and my 21st century Gutenberg (or the Esperanto of human-machine relationships, ¡por fin!)

Better Biz Me’s project began, for me, in 1980. It was the first time I encountered the industrialisation – NEVER automation – of originaI thinking: the film industry.

The idea for a Gutenberg of intuitive thought, which I have been propounding recently, can therefore be traced directly back, its dots connecting beautifully, to the three years of my first degree in Film & Literature at the University of Warwick UK.

Things are moving forwards rapidly now.

I have, just this month, been invited to apply by accelerators near and far.

Two fascinating ones in Munich.

One astonishing one in Dubai.

Two UK ones of fabulous shape.

And one I cheekily applied to on application date itself.

It is a wondrous thing that a man of 57 – who has suffered every indignity and every joy the WHIRLED can throw at him – now has these opportunities.

This is truly an example of #inverseparanoia.

I never believed in myself like I believed in you.

And now I realise that I never believed in myself like YOU believed in ME.

The other day GCHQ politely declined the first application I had rushedly made on this immense platform that is F6S.

I am looking for equity-taking accelerators, above all. GCHQ is not equity. But it is a grand opportunity. I was not distraught: instead, I reacted by asking them if later in 2020 we could repeat. Just that it would be a repeat, much more organised.

🙂

Because I am looking to consolidate not only finances but also the PERCEPTION this rapidly-becoming-fabulous WHIRLED is beginning to have: have, that is, of the new kind of relationship between #human and #ai that I am proposing: this gorgeous gorgeous Gutenberg of intuitive thought.

I have – I now realise, in ever-closer collaboration over the past three years, and with so many fab people and institutions who have been helping ME often quite despite MYSELF – FOUND myself creating a vector between humans and machines: the Esperanto, if you like, of human-machine relationships.

THIS is one of the most important aspects of this 21st century Gutenberg I describe: the understanding, comprehension, enabling, facilitating, cooperation, intelligences upskilled on all sides, humans and machines in real harmony above all … all these and more that come out of a real AFÁN to deliver – above all! – a future FOR all.

The same day that GCHQ kindly declined my application, UC Berkeley got in touch and asked me to apply for theirs.

According to Forbes, this is one of the top five university accelerators in the world.

This is the biggest application I will ever attempt in my whole life.

I could attempt it alone, but I don’t want to. I want Liverpool to get behind me. I want Liverpool to understand that here, we NEVER GIVE UP. And the wealth the region deserves can come specifically from the future a successful application to UC Berkeley by Better Biz Me could deliver for everyone: in Liverpool, the UK, the US, and … indeed … everywhere.

I implore you, therefore, to do just that: if I come knocking at your door over the next couple of weeks, allow me to enter your castle and sense the warmth of your hearth.

And feel the warmth of your heart.

And know the power of your art.

And believe in the wisdom of your science.

Just that.

Believe.

And NEVER GIVE UP.

“why i should be your man”

An #ai of #trivial #proofs, and a #gauntlet for the #competition

Yesterday, I had a great video-conference. It’s nice to speak to people you don’t need to repeat assertions to.

The person in question, right at the end, asked me: “What’s the most trivial thing you could ask your proposed #ai platform to do?”

Trivial as in small. Like always winning a simple game of ping-pong: something like that. Vamos, the classic first steps all new intelligences take.

And I was mind-blown. I didn’t know what to say.

Just now, I realised I now did.

But for you, I am

The simplest thing one could ever want to do is to be certain about choosing a lifetime partner.

I once read a newspaper column, I think by Jilly Cooper, where she argued that love – for women at least – ain’t a romantic thing at all; and quite rightly so!

In fact romantic, never. Hard-nosed, in the sense of utterly practical, always.

So let’s do it: this is my gauntlet for all current #ai systems. This is the gauntlet my #ai would be perfectly conceptualised and scoped to pick up, collect, and knock back with grand utility: as accurately as anything ever did:

“Allow me to show you why I’m your lifetime partner. Allow me to show you, not tell. Allow me to proof this trivial fact. Allow me to simply demonstrate how right for you I am.

En fin, allow me to say, with this #ai platform I’m using: ‘This is EXACTLY why I’m your man.'”

#challenge, #love
