AI Science

Rationality is a funny thing. When we think we are the most rational, we usually are irrational. Our tiny human intellect cannot sometime comprehend when and where we are going wrong. I would like to argue that rationality is also....a human thing. Our ideas are only.....as big as us.


Wikipedia defines rationality as " the quality or state of being rational – that is, being based on or agreeable to reason". But...what is reason? Is it not something created by humans, to comprehend the cosmos? I would imagine someone like Spock from the Star Trek universe to have a completely different approach.

Imagine their gods, their culture. Its completely alien to imagine so. Yet, we humans , especially a special branch of humans ( extremist scientists) claim that "everyone can be rational" and everything can be "boiled down" to physics and logic. Yes, it's true that the physics that humans developed works in describing the universe very precisely. But it is still a human thing. The scientific excavations made by man in 500 years has made us think that we "own" science. But in fact, it is not the case. Laws do not require human justification, they work independent of how we think of it .We even do not why the laws are working so perfectly well. Especially maths and physics. There is not one reason, why the universe should behave the way we predict it to behave. Our Sun should be explode at any moment defying all laws of physics, but it won't.


 Moon's gravity could grow so strong that earth should ultimately crash into it. But it wont. That's science. It just works. An interesting read would be here which links to a very good article.

Now that we are discovering the new field of AI, I think in the future, there will be a new branch of science called "AI's science" solely containing the discoveries made by "AI researchers". These AI researchers will be Artificial General Intelligence with cognitive powers that surpasses humans in every aspect. I think it will be fundamentally different from how we discover stuff. 

Who knows, these things in the future, might figure out the perfect theory for quantum gravity within seconds of being turned on. Might solve the hardest math problem within a day and make unimaginable leaps in intuition that humans could never aspire to reach. It's exciting to think of that. Hope this was some food for thought. Thanks for reading!

The weird thing of being alive

Sorry! Long time no see! I am back with another mindless, unrefined and  unstructured thoughts on mine.  This post is going to be more about an 'off the shore' rant about how humans perceive life and how the actuality of life exists in its true sense.  Sounds boring? Cause it probably is....but if you haven't clicked away yet....what you can really takeaway from this post is a sense of realness and a 'not so unique' perspective on the nature of human existence. The way that humans pass through existence is pretty unique. We use the output of multiple senses and process these images for better understanding of the world. Sometimes the things we think are conscious, or may be unconscious. We cannot differentiate between inputs that can make sense and things that don't make sense in itself. Take dreams for example, we don't realize that we are in a dream until there is something amiss or wrong with the entire logic of events. In that sense, we can't differe...

An End to the Playful Blog

 Hey y'all ! I guess it has been a long time, ( at least for me) before I wrote a post again. So, its that time, where I would have to say adieu to my cool readers! Though I write shit content, you guys read it, even though you could have spent your time doing something more useful ( but thanks anyways ppl!). I didn't want to go incommunicado without saying a big goodbye! I won't be writing any more posts as of  now. There have been some crazy ass changes in my life. But this entire "blog-about-random-stuff" period of life, was interesting...I learnt a lot ! I know there are a lot of topics I could talk about, a lot of unfinished topics and ideas. But I'm putting an end to any of that. It's a little sad, but maybe in the future, I'll start writing again! One thing, was....this shit was awesome! Openly screaming to the world and not caring a bit about what it meant! It  was awesome to express myself. These series of posts serve as a reminder about the t...

 Hey random reader. You have decided to enter an online cave of stupidity, naivetes and maybe.....just maybe some interesting stuff. Please don't expect me to follow "language of etiquette" here, because I am one of those guys who doesn't care about how something looks, as long it conveys the idea. I am what you could call a internet buff. I live on the internet. It is a dangerous, yet beautiful place. I prefer to compare the internet to the peak of a mountain.... it is beautiful up there . Yet a small misstep could plummet you to death.  All of the information I write and I will write are mostly influenced by various personalities on the internet. What you can expect in this blogsite is my various takes on how the world works. The small things that people miss out. I will take you through a mind of a early 20s procrastinator. My aim in writing these blog posts are to reach out to people who have similar ideas that I have , and also to influence people who don't h...
