Weeks [14 - 21] to join or compete with Neuralink
Kept learning AI and programming
Trying to build the architecture of a new kind of “AI”
Problem, yes I have visions in mind for the mid-long term but I kind of need a plan for the next few months I’m too slow I need to get to those mid term goals faster
Found a research lab / research project near where I live that works on the Global Workspace Theory, BCIs and other things which fit with what I’m actually exploring
Problem they obviously only take PhDs and postdocs and I don’t even have one year in anything lol
But it looks like it could be a great opportunity for me and I really think I can bring value
No problem, war time I have to beat those phd guy I have ~4-5 months
Week 9,10,11,12,13 to join or compete with Neuralink
Second month completed at Holberton
Learning c, it's cool
Started Machine Learning specialization by Andrew Ng
Finished Machine Learning specialization by Andrew Ng
It was very cool and I surprisingly liked to follow it
Andrew is the guy
Will probably start the Deep Learning specialization now
Will start to try to train models on public BCIs datasets
Definitely will try to make a simulated brain that generate signals like our brain
Would also be fun to put some of these brain in a simulation later
Nothing really concrete on the Neuroscience side but definitely digging
Rabbit hole I'm currently in : Does a BCI that write all the input in someone's brain and read it in a closed loop, would make a simulation as seamless as the one we're in ?

Love the goal behind it ofc but, « exploring some weird, new ideas » and then just rethinking loss functions and gradient descent ????? Is that enough ??

Flapping Airplanes is a foundational AI research lab devoted to solving the data efficiency problem, which involves exploring some weird, new ideas—from rethinking our loss functions to even gradient descent itself.
You probably want to build what wouldn’t exist without you
But you also probably want to be a tool for humanity
If you’re human and what humanity do is going forward, you simply want to help humanity go forward. In this case you don’t care if other build the same thing as you as long as it maximize the usefulness
But going forward what, what is the mission ? As a member of humanity you decide
But a great North Star would be going forward the understanding of ourselves and the simulation we live in
NOW - Musk introduces Secretary of War Hegseth at Starbase, Texas, saying the goal of Space Force is "ultimately going beyond our star system to other star systems, where we may meet aliens, or discover long-dead alien civilizations."
The issue isn’t that climate change hurts the planet. The planet doesn’t care.
The issue is that our current systems were calibrated for the relatively stable temperature range present when they were built
Climate has always changed
Smart people like building the future, so they build the new future around those new constraints, or at best try to slow climate change while building, but you're not building to change nothing, we will obviously not go back to the previous civilization point where humanity didn't impact climate change that much
Change is inevitable so they focus on adapting and rebuilding civilization level systems, not on useless illusion micro actions
If there is one thing the builder can't do in this situation it is panicking about it, because they are building a new future anyway, it just help adding precision to which direction go so it's just great information, they are happy
Our civilization will not stay the same anyway

Week 5,6,7,8 to join Neuralink
First month completed at holberton school here in France
Learning coding logic, it’s interesting and basically just solving problems with programming languages
Still don’t know if I will be able to pay the school and continue the year there
Tried to understand a little bit more in depth about non invasive vs invasive bci, and I like invasive more obviously because it’s better
But what project can I do alone right now, I will not put a chip in my brain
Exploring possibilities of what project I can do to learn invasive bcis
There are invasive public datasets online but if I can make a simulator/generator of human brain invasive data, that would be cool to work with
So then I can make an ai that can read those simulated spikes
But I need to start learning ai fast, like right now
But I don’t want to just watch courses aaaaaa
Looks like there is a lot to learn in ai, and it may be game changing to be an expert in ai in the bci field
Or neurosciences has more game changing potential ?
Or combination and understanding of both ?
Haven’t started any neuroscience yet
