Designer friend, foe or something else ? — Can/Will the new (and rapidly improving) AI driven Image Generators put designers out of the job ? Can AIs out design humans ? Will they take over the world ? 👋 Hi there 👋 all my content is free for Medium subscribers, if you are already a subscriber I just…

Or the state of Artificial Consciousness — If you are into AI and/or Technology it seems that every week there is a new and groundbreaking Neural Network architecture or AI paper, some even come with amazing demos or new startups using said tech and while all this is wonderful we still don’t have a sentient/conscious AI. 👋…

From Infancy to Adulthood and beyond. — A key part of understanding something ( anything really ) is knowing how things got to be the way they are, this is especially important with consciousness as it can be rather subjective yet I think we all have roughly the same different conscious experiences at different points in our…

A short overview. — Artificial Neural Networks have become a mainstream and efficient tool for many tasks we once thought would be hard or even imposible to achieve, things like image classification, general prediction and natural language processing, if you add big data and purposeful/ready available tools, techniques and frameworks we are truly living…

Systems 07: Odds & Ends — The brain is the ultimate complex thing in our admittedly self centered universe yet as complex things go a methodical systems approach can be very helpful in understanding and explaining away the complexity, in this series of short posts I’ve additionally tried to keep an eye out for the AI/Artificial…

System 06 Speech and Language — It is true that other species communicate, but we humans have used speech and language as a cornerstone of our organization and success as species, it is through language that knowledge is stored and our consciousness is often manifested in spoken inner words, in short speech and language are a…

System 05 The prefrontal cortex — Perhaps the most storied and well known (at least in name) brain area we have is the Prefrontal Cortex (PFC for short) yet it is equally shrouded in mystery, I imagine it gets mentioned a lot in casual conversations ( well we are smart because we have a prefrontal cortex…

System 04 Attention — At any given moment you might feel you are aware or conscious of the world at large and as a whole but that is merely an illusion, in reality you can only process a very small fraction of things, at this very moment for instance you are really only aware…
