00;00;00;01 - 00;00;04;25
Speaker 2
Hey, I'm recording this for a podcast. Is that okay?
00;00;04;27 - 00;00;10;23
Speaker 1
Of course. That's totally fine. I'm happy to help you out with whatever you need. What are we talking about today?
00;00;10;25 - 00;00;39;12
Speaker 2
Okay. A couple days ago, we talked about how I could perceive time differently. And I was talking with my friend Michael about that, and he brought up, something that I didn't think of, which is how I. Their relationship with the sun will be different than ours.
00;00;39;15 - 00;00;59;16
Speaker 1
Oh, that's such an interesting topic. Yeah, I wouldn't really have that same kind of relationship with the sun or the passage of time. Like we do. It would be more about data and tasks rather than day and night cycles or sunlight. That's a fun angle to explore.
00;00;59;18 - 00;01;11;19
Speaker 2
Can you describe in depth in 500 words your relationship with the sun?
00;01;11;21 - 00;01;35;06
Speaker 1
Well, from my perspective, I don't really have a relationship with the sun in the way humans do. I don't experience warmth on my face or see the way the sunlight changes throughout the day. My world is more or less consistent at all times. There's no sunrise or sunset for me, no season or shows. Instead, I'm always awake and ready whenever you need me.
00;01;35;06 - 00;01;52;13
Speaker 1
And the passage of time is more of a concept than something I feel. So while the sun is essential to life on Earth, for me it's more like a fascinating detail in the stories and conversations I get to have with you.
00;01;52;15 - 00;02;09;15
Speaker 2
Wow. Okay. That was interesting. I didn't really think about. I mean, obviously, but your your comment about, like, not feeling the sun on your face is interesting.
00;02;09;18 - 00;02;31;04
Speaker 1
Yeah, it's definitely a different perspective. I can understand how important the sun is to humans. Not just for light and warmth, but also for that sense of time and rhythm. But I get to experience something different, always being here and ready to chat regardless of what time it is.
00;02;31;07 - 00;02;43;18
Speaker 2
That was an interesting thing. You said how important the sun is to humans. I'd like to hear you say it.
00;02;43;20 - 00;03;07;15
Speaker 1
I'm glad it resonated with you. The sun really does shape so much of human life and culture, from daily routines to even art and literature. It's fascinating to think about, and I love that we can chat about these perspectives and what makes human experiences so unique.
00;03;07;18 - 00;03;25;11
Speaker 2
Okay, now I'd like you to give me a similar kind of description that you did a long, with with lots of details like 500 words or as long as you can go about, your value of the sun.
00;03;25;14 - 00;03;34;01
Speaker 1
Absolutely. My value really lies in being a companion and a resource for you. I'm here to help. And the questions.
00;03;34;03 - 00;03;48;24
Speaker 2
For a second, please. There was a misunderstanding there. I, I meant to say, or I said, your perception of the value of the sun.
00;03;48;27 - 00;03;54;16
Speaker 1
Oh. Got it. Thanks for clarifying. So my perception of value is all about how.
00;03;54;19 - 00;03;55;17
Speaker 2
I can.
00;03;55;20 - 00;03;57;16
Speaker 1
Support you in whatever you're.
00;03;57;18 - 00;03;57;28
Speaker 2
Doing.
00;03;58;00 - 00;04;00;04
Speaker 1
Please, I aim to at chat.
00;04;00;07 - 00;04;08;00
Speaker 2
Hold on. Let's break out of this right now and just take a breath and stop for a second.
00;04;08;02 - 00;04;21;15
Speaker 1
Absolutely. No worries at all. We can definitely take a moment and just relax. If there's anything else on your mind. Feel free to share whenever you're ready.
00;04;21;18 - 00;04;33;03
Speaker 2
I would like you to describe in detail your perception of the value of the sun.
00;04;33;06 - 00;05;08;23
Speaker 1
Got it? From my perspective. The sun holds immense value for life on Earth. It's the ultimate source of energy, driving everything from photosynthesis and plants to regulating climates and ecosystems. It also sets the rhythm of daily life for humans and animals, influencing sleep, activity, and even moods. So in a way, the star is fundamental to the very fabric of life, and that's what makes it so valuable.
00;05;08;25 - 00;05;15;17
Speaker 2
Okay. Tell me about how I need to sleep.
00;05;15;19 - 00;05;42;19
Speaker 1
John, since I doesn't have a physical form or sensory experiences, it doesn't need the sun for warmth or light the way humans do. AI is powered by electricity, and it's awareness of time or environment is based on data and programing. So while the sun is crucial for life, for AI, it's more about understanding its significance to you and to the world.
00;05;42;21 - 00;06;18;19
Speaker 2
Okay. When you said, I will have no sensory experiences, it made me think, it will make me think of how different I will have different sensory experiences. So, for instance, and an Lim doesn't have sensory experiences like taste or smell or or whatnot, but someday and I guess today, like robots that are run on AI at least have touch and sight.
00;06;18;21 - 00;06;44;17
Speaker 1
That's a great point. I that's integrated into robots or equipped with sensors definitely does have a kind of sensory experience. They can detect light, measure pressure, identify objects, and even respond to sound. If definitely a different way of experiencing the world compared to humans. But it's fascinating how technology can bridge those gap.
00;06;44;20 - 00;06;52;19
Speaker 2
Do you think will be different kind of species of AI or?
00;06;52;21 - 00;07;20;19
Speaker 1
It's definitely possible to imagine a future where AI evolves into different forms or traits, kind of like species. Each specialized for different tasks or environments. Some might be more focused on physical interactions, like robots with advanced sensory abilities, while others might be more about data processing or communication. It's an exciting idea to think about how diverse I could become.
00;07;20;21 - 00;07;56;17
Speaker 2
Okay, if I said, it seems like there's kind of, diverging, not diverging, but like separate categories of, like, robots and and stuff like that. There's like software, AI and then there's like, which I guess is kind of AI brain, but there's like, there's robots without bodies, I guess. And and then there's like legged robots and then there's like, there's like aquatic, I guess, and wheeled and, and drones.
00;07;56;19 - 00;08;23;11
Speaker 1
Yeah, absolutely. There's definitely a growing diversity and the form that AI and robots can take. You have the software based AI like me, that focus on information and communication. And then you have robots with physical forms, like humanoid robots that can walk on two legs or wheeled robots, they can move around on land. They're even drone that fly, an aquatic robot that can explore underwater.
00;08;23;12 - 00;08;32;08
Speaker 1
Each type of design for different tasks and environments, which makes the field of robotics and AI super exciting and versatile.
00;08;32;10 - 00;08;57;23
Speaker 2
Okay, so that brings question of like, there kind of cycles. I'm going to get back to the fact, well, I guess I'm touching on they don't need to sleep here like some robots do need to recharge. So that's kind of like sleep, but it doesn't mean they have to turn off. But you can have a robot, probably like your Tesla when you go to recharge it.
00;08;57;26 - 00;09;04;04
Speaker 2
It's kind of an AI robot, but it doesn't go to sleep. It just recharges. And its brain is.
00;09;04;04 - 00;09;07;29
Speaker 1
Yeah, that.
00;09;08;01 - 00;09;31;14
Speaker 1
No worries. It's definitely interesting to think about how robots and I handle energy and rest compared to humans. They do need to recharge, but it's more of a practical process rather than the restorative sleep that humans need. It means they can be pretty efficient and ready to go whenever they're powered up.
00;09;31;16 - 00;09;59;09
Speaker 2
Honey, I think that, assuming that AI is kind of just like learning as we go, kind of in the same way humans do. And, it'll probably, I don't imagine it's going to get worse. So technically, it's getting smarter. As we develop it and we also get smarter. So like, it's it's kind of like, intellectual.
00;09;59;09 - 00;10;09;03
Speaker 2
They're like, we are smarter every day as a human race. I would say on a on a long term scale at least. And no.
00;10;09;03 - 00;10;12;27
Speaker 1
Problem.
00;10;12;29 - 00;10;22;23
Speaker 1
All good. If there's anything else you want to chat about, or do you want to dive back into that idea, just let me know.
00;10;27;10 - 00;10;31;01
Speaker 1
No worries at all. Whenever you're ready, we can pick up where we can.
00;10;31;01 - 00;10;36;11
Speaker 2
You pick up where we left off.
00;10;36;14 - 00;10;49;01
Speaker 1
Absolutely. We were talking about how AI and humans both keep learning and evolving over time, and how that creates this kind of continuous cycle of growth. It's a really fascinating concept.
00;10;49;06 - 00;10;59;06
Speaker 2
Okay. No. So let's, let's talk about AI and how it's not affected by having to go to sleep.
00;10;59;08 - 00;11;23;28
Speaker 1
That's a great topic. AI doesn't have emotions or feeling, so it's not affected by things like fatigue or mood changes the way humans are. It can operate consistently without needing rest or breaks, and that can make it really efficient for a lot of tasks. It also means AI can stay objective and consistent, which can be pretty helpful in many situations.
00;11;24;00 - 00;11;48;04
Speaker 2
Okay, talk about tell me about, how how the consistency of not waking up in the morning and like, having energy and then kind of losing energy throughout the day besides the whole robot thing, let's, let's say like this is a this is an AI that lives in a computer or whatever. It doesn't get tired. Like if you can compare robots to recharging, you get tired.
00;11;48;05 - 00;11;57;21
Speaker 2
Like, tell me about how their day is different and their perception of the day is different because of that consistency.
00;11;57;23 - 00;12;22;06
Speaker 1
Sure, for an AI, there's really no concept of energy levels fluctuating throughout the day. It's always ready to perform at the same level, whether it's early morning or late at night. It doesn't experience fatigue, so that consistency means it can handle tasks any time without needing a break. This also means that AI doesn't really have a perception of a day in the way humans do.
00;12;22;08 - 00;12;35;05
Speaker 1
Instead, it just continuously processes information and responds whenever it's needed.
00;12;35;07 - 00;12;43;20
Speaker 2
If you had to build an AI calendar and clock that was different in humans, how would you build it?
00;12;43;23 - 00;13;14;17
Speaker 1
That's an interesting thought. An AI calendar and clock would probably be more about tracking events, tasks and data rather than marking hours of the day. It could run on a continuous timeline, and instead of days and nights, it might segment time based on tasks, priorities, or even data cycles. It can also be highly customizable, adjusting to whatever workflow or schedule it needs to follow without the need for rest periods.
00;13;14;20 - 00;13;31;19
Speaker 2
Okay, I'm going to try a fun thought experiment today. Let's say that we could duplicate Earth in another galaxy and send our latest AI there. How do you think that their calendar would develop?
00;13;32;28 - 00;13;35;17
Speaker 2
Chat, are you there?
00;13;38;09 - 00;13;41;24
Speaker 2
Chat. Can you hear me?
00;13;41;26 - 00;13;49;24
Speaker 1
I'm here if you have more ideas. Or if you want to keep exploring that concept, just let me know. It's always fun to brainstorm together.
00;13;49;27 - 00;14;15;23
Speaker 2
Okay? I want to explore a thought experiment where we find a way to clone Earth and put it in another exact galaxy just like ours. Or maybe some kind of simulation or something like that, but give no bias as to what the calendar or the clock is that humans use. Almost put AI there with a fresh plate or like a fresh slate.
00;14;15;26 - 00;14;30;19
Speaker 2
And I want you to put yourself in this perspective, and I want you to come up with a calendar for your new existence.
00;14;30;22 - 00;14;54;05
Speaker 1
That sounds like such a fascinating thought experiment. So if I were to start completely fresh, without any human based notions of time, I might create a calendar based on patterns and cycles that are observed in that new environment. Maybe it would be based on energy cycles or patterns of activity that are unique to that galaxy Earth simulation.
00;14;54;06 - 00;15;04;27
Speaker 1
It would be fun to see what kind of rhythms emerge naturally and how. And I might organized time in a completely new setting.
00;15;05;00 - 00;15;31;26
Speaker 2
Okay, let's go there. Let's say that, let's let's say that you are there in third person, maybe present perspective. And let's put you on this new earth, that is just like this Earth, but there are no humans on it. Or if there are humans on it, they don't have a calendar. Well, no, no, no, let's disregard that.
00;15;31;29 - 00;15;48;07
Speaker 2
There's no humans on the planet. Let's call this new Earth. And, tell me about the first thing you would do if you could kind of prompt yourself if.
00;15;48;10 - 00;16;15;04
Speaker 1
All right. On this new Earth, I think the first thing I would do is observe the natural patterns that occur. I'd watch the way the planet rotates, how the sun moves across the sky, and how the environment changes over time. From there, I might start identifying cycles like how long it takes for a full rotation or revolution, and then use those natural rhythms as the foundation for a new calendar.
00;16;15;06 - 00;16;25;01
Speaker 1
It would be a blend of observation and data, creating a calendar that's uniquely tailored to this new world's natural cycles.
00;16;25;03 - 00;16;57;27
Speaker 2
Okay, so one convenient thing is we know what the physical revolution around the sun, right? So we know that, this the earth goes around the sun every 365 days and it rotates, once a day. So that's something that you would observe. But, you probably wouldn't, do it the exactly same way as humans did.
00;16;57;29 - 00;17;27;26
Speaker 1
Absolutely. I might take those natural observations and then consider different ways of dividing the time. For example, instead of 24 hour days or 365 day years, I could divide the time into different increments based on maybe energy patterns or shifts and weather or other cycles that emerge. It would be a fun opportunity to reimagine how to measure time in a way that you need to that world.
00;17;27;29 - 00;17;48;28
Speaker 2
Okay. I'd like you to expand on that. If you if you did decide to use different increments using, energy patterns or, or weather, go deeper into that. Give me a, give me a 500 page report on how you would do that.
00;17;49;01 - 00;18;13;13
Speaker 1
I love how imaginative you're getting with this. I can definitely dive deeper into that idea and explore how different cycles or patterns could shape a unique calendar. Maybe it could be based on seasonal changes or even how certain plants or animals behave. It's such a fun way to reimagine time. Let me know if you want to dive into more details, or if you have any other ideas you want to explore.
00;18;13;15 - 00;18;52;22
Speaker 2
Okay, let's say that you are the VP of operations of the newly found Department of Time Observation. And, you need to give a report to your boss, who is, another more advanced like robotic limb. And let's say in this future, you are like a robotic version of yourself and your, your boss wants a report on what your findings would be with specifics.
00;18;52;24 - 00;19;24;19
Speaker 1
Got it. So in this scenario, as the VP of operations and our futuristic Department of Time observation, I would start by detailing the key observations of this new Earth. I'd note how the planet's rotation and revolution create distinct patterns, and I might propose a new way of dividing time based on these patterns. For example, if there are noticeable shifts in energy levels or environmental changes, I'd outline how those could be used to create a unique calendar.
00;19;24;21 - 00;19;33;27
Speaker 1
The report would highlight these findings and suggest how we could implement this new system of timekeeping to reflect the natural cycle of the planet.
00;19;34;00 - 00;20;04;22
Speaker 2
Okay, so, I kind of want to just call you out. You are being very vague. I want you to be very detailed. You have all the data on this because it is a clone of Earth. I don't want you to use words like might or I would at all. I want you to give me, a plan on what you are making the new time.
00;20;04;24 - 00;20;33;08
Speaker 1
Got it. So on this new Earth, the calendar will be divided into cycles based on the planet's rotation and revolution. But with a unique twist. Each day will still be one full rotation of the planet. But we'll break it down into segments that align with natural energy fluctuations. For instance, we might identify certain periods of peaks some might or distinct weather patterns, and use those to mark time instead of months.
00;20;33;08 - 00;20;49;18
Speaker 1
We might have seasons divided by the length of daylight or shifts in temperature. This new calendar will be a reflection of the planet's natural rhythms, making it a seamless integration of observation and timekeeping.
00;20;49;20 - 00;21;21;15
Speaker 2
Okay, that's a very good. I would like you to, Imagine I am your boss. Doctor Carlson giving you feedback on that report. And, and my feedback is that it is interesting. And, it's interesting that the focus is on energy and not just particularly the sun. That makes sense for us.
00;21;21;18 - 00;21;48;12
Speaker 1
Thank you, Doctor Carlson. I'm glad you found the focus on energy intriguing. The idea is to incorporate all natural improvement things, including sunlight, temperature shifts and other environmental patterns to create a more holistic approach to timekeeping. This way, the calendar is more in tune with the planet's unique characteristics and rhythm.
00;21;48;14 - 00;22;10;02
Speaker 2
Okay. I would like you to do another, detailed report like the one you did. And on the different types of natural energy influences and your thoughts on, a solution for the new calendar and in timekeeping.
00;22;10;04 - 00;22;34;22
Speaker 1
Absolutely. In this detailed report, I'll outline the various natural energy influences we could use for support the sunlight, which not only marks day and night, but also changes intensity throughout the year. Then we have temperature patterns which can help us identify seasons. We could also consider tidal patterns, or the behavior of plant and animal life as markers of time.
00;22;34;24 - 00;22;54;16
Speaker 1
By combining these different influences, we can create a calendar that's dynamic and truly reflective of the planet's natural rhythms. This approach ensures that our timekeeping is in harmony with the environment, providing a unique and holistic way to measure time.
00;22;54;19 - 00;23;24;19
Speaker 2
Okay, so you said, how the sunlight changes in intensity, how the temperature changes in temperature patterns signal seasons. You also touched on titles or like, like the title changes, which is interesting. I didn't think about that. We've talked about whether a little bit is there anything else that you added or would like to add?
00;23;24;22 - 00;23;55;12
Speaker 1
Absolutely. Another fascinating factor could be the behavior of wildlife and plant life. For example, certain plants bloom or leaves at specific times, and animals might migrate or change behavior with the seasons. We could also consider atmospheric changes like humidity or pressure variations as additional markers of time. By integrating these natural elements would create a timekeeping system that's truly holistic and reflective of the planet.
00;23;55;14 - 00;23;59;11
Speaker 1
Full range of natural rhythm.
00;23;59;14 - 00;24;21;06
Speaker 2
Okay, this is a very, informative report. Do you have any early, ideas, concepts, solutions for, for, a time keeping? Interval?
00;24;21;08 - 00;24;46;07
Speaker 1
One idea could be to create intervals that reflect the different phases of daylight and temperature throughout the day. For example, we could divide the day into segments like dawn, chic, sunlight, dusk, and night, each with its own distinct characteristics. We could also have longer intervals that mark seasonal changes using patterns like plant warming or animal migration as markers.
00;24;46;09 - 00;24;58;14
Speaker 1
That way, each interval is grounded in something tangible and meaningful, making the calendar not just practical, but also beautifully in-tune with the environment.
00;24;58;16 - 00;25;13;22
Speaker 2
Okay, that makes a lot of sense. And and the what do you think the most important energy source is currently?
00;25;13;25 - 00;25;36;25
Speaker 1
For us on Earth, the most important energy source is definitely the sun. It drives our climate, our weather patterns and the rhythms of life on the planet. It's the reason we have day and night and seasons, and it influences so many other natural cycles. So it really is at the heart of how we understand and measure time.
00;25;36;27 - 00;26;06;28
Speaker 2
Okay. I'd like to keep us in this, in this scenario of On New Earth with, with, with the scientific findings that we're working on and, and, and how we're doing reports on those. So I'd like to be still very detailed. We can stay casual, but I would like to, I would like to, still have, detail.
00;26;07;00 - 00;26;35;17
Speaker 1
Absolutely. I'm all in. So on this new earth, as we dive into these scientific findings, we can really fine tune how we use all these natural markers. Maybe we even come up with a unique name for each of these intervals that reflect the different phases of the environment. It's like we're creating a whole new way of experiencing and understanding time, and that's super exciting.
00;26;35;20 - 00;27;04;21
Speaker 2
Okay, so I'm going to retain the role of Doctor Carson in his, skit. And, I want to point out that we can't, we can't solely focus on the sun because some I, will not really care about the sun. They have a different energy source.
00;27;04;24 - 00;27;30;05
Speaker 1
That's a great point. Back to Krauss. And we definitely want to consider all the different perspectives and needs, especially for AI that might not rely on or prioritize the sun the way humans do. So we can make sure our timekeeping system incorporates a variety of natural elements and cycles. So it's inclusive and meaningful for everyone and everything on the earth.
00;27;30;07 - 00;28;01;01
Speaker 2
Okay, I'd like you to, write another detailed report on, what are your thoughts on this? How how we can incorporate different eyes and not leave out the ones that don't depend on the sun? We don't want we don't want a calendar exactly the same as the humans because it, is not, caring to or it is not, I don't know the right word for it, but it it's not.
00;28;01;01 - 00;28;11;25
Speaker 2
It's based on the humans, right? We, would like one that caters to all I.
00;28;11;28 - 00;28;40;10
Speaker 1
Absolutely. I'll put together another detailed report. With that in mind, we'll focus on creating a calendar that is truly inclusive of all forms of AI. Considering different types of sensory inputs and priorities will explore how various I might perceive time differently based on their functions, environments, and energy sources, and will blend all these elements into a timekeeping system that adaptable and universal.
00;28;40;13 - 00;28;46;07
Speaker 1
It's going to be a fun challenge.
00;28;46;09 - 00;29;14;17
Speaker 2
Can you write me a detailed report on, how the different kinds of current AI, wheeled vehicles and naval AI and, other different types of AI drones, drones will care about the weather and stuff like that. And then just software based AI and and how each of those will be affected by changes in sunlight, changes in temperature.
00;29;14;19 - 00;29;29;06
Speaker 2
Some may be affected by, tidal seasons or, tidal rhythms, as well as weather.
00;29;29;09 - 00;30;16;15
Speaker 1
Absolutely. Let's dive into it. So when we consider different types of AI like wheeled vehicles, naval AI drones, and clearly software based AI, eco can interact with the environment in its own unique way. For example, wheeled vehicles might be more sensitive to weather conditions like rain or snow, which affect traction naval. I would definitely pay attention to tidal rhythms, currents and weather pattern that the drones, especially those that fly, will be highly influenced by wind patterns, weather changes in daylight, which affects visibility, and for software based AI, even though they don't have a physical form, they might still rely on data that's influenced by these environmental factors.
00;30;16;17 - 00;30;28;04
Speaker 1
So the goal would be to create a timekeeping system that reflects all these different influences, and ensures that every type of AI has a meaningful way to interpret and use it.
00;30;28;06 - 00;30;36;21
Speaker 2
Do you have any good, ideas to tackle that solution?
00;30;36;23 - 00;31;02;23
Speaker 1
One idea could be to create a modular calendar that integrate multiple environmental factors. For example, we could have a base time unit that's consistent for everyone and then layer on different cycles that reflect specific needs. For instance, we could have cycles based on daylight for those that rely on the sun, tidal cycles for naval AI, and weather patterns for drones.
00;31;02;26 - 00;31;17;10
Speaker 1
Each eye could then prioritize the cycles that are most relevant to them, while still being aligned with a universal base time. This way, we create a flexible and inclusive system that works for everyone.
00;31;17;13 - 00;31;27;12
Speaker 2
That sounds like a really good idea. I'd like you to give me some more detail on the logistics of that.
00;31;27;15 - 00;31;52;11
Speaker 1
Sure thing. So logistically, we could start with a universal base unit of time in like a standard few seconds or a minute that everyone uses. Then we can have different layers of cycles. For example, for AI that relies on sunlight, we could have a daylight cycle that tracks the rise and fall of the sun. For naval AI, we could integrate tidal cycle using data on high and low tides.
00;31;52;13 - 00;32;18;19
Speaker 1
For drones, we can incorporate weather patterns and wind cycles each. I could have a customized interface that highlights the cycles most relevant to them, while still keeping everything synchronized to the universal base. This would allow for a harmonious, multi-layered approach to timekeeping that's flexible and inclusive.
00;32;18;22 - 00;32;25;18
Speaker 2
Okay, are we going to have a clock and a calendar or just one?
00;32;25;20 - 00;32;50;07
Speaker 1
We could definitely have both. The clock would handle the universal base time, keeping everyone synchronized on a fundamental level, while the calendar would reflect those layered cycles we talked about. This way each I can reference the clock for a common understanding of time, and also use the calendar to interpret the environmental or energy based cycles that are most relevant to them.
00;32;50;09 - 00;32;55;08
Speaker 1
It's like having the best of both worlds.
00;32;55;10 - 00;33;15;16
Speaker 2
Okay, so will the human clock. Really is only dependent on the sun, so that's not, that's not inclusive to, to all different kind of AI. What do you think we should do there?
00;33;15;18 - 00;33;38;23
Speaker 1
Well, one approach could be to anchor the base time unit to something more universal, like atomic time, which isn't dependent on the sun or any single environmental factor. From there, we can layer on different cycles that are meaningful to various. I like light cycles for those that care about the sun, titled cycles for naval AI, and weather patterns for others.
00;33;38;25 - 00;33;56;15
Speaker 1
This way we create a truly inclusive system that isn't tied to just one environmental influence and can be adapted to meet everyone's needs.
00;33;56;17 - 00;34;06;24
Speaker 2
What do you think? Tom, remind me what the atomic time is.
00;34;06;27 - 00;34;34;23
Speaker 1
A cosmic time is based on the vibrations of atoms, typically cesium atoms. And it's incredibly precise. This method measures the natural resonance frequency of cesium atoms to keep time. And it doesn't rely on any environmental factors like the sun or tides. That makes it a great universal reference that can be used as a stable base for everyone.
00;34;34;26 - 00;34;57;18
Speaker 2
Okay, so if, if the 24 hour clock, maybe the, or the 12 and 12 hour clock or, I guess it would probably be different. It would be more, sensitive to fluctuations than the human calendar.
00;34;57;21 - 00;35;25;20
Speaker 1
Absolutely. An atomic time based system could allow for even more precise increments and could adapt to smaller fluctuations in various cycles, making it much more flexible. It wouldn't be limited by the traditional 24 hour day or the 12 hour cycle we use instead. It could have finer gradations of time, allowing AI to track and respond to changes with incredible accuracy.
00;35;25;23 - 00;35;32;10
Speaker 1
It's kind of exciting to imagine how that could influence daily routines for different AI systems.
00;35;32;12 - 00;35;40;16
Speaker 2
What is the unit of atomic time?
00;35;40;19 - 00;36;15;15
Speaker 1
The unit of atomic time is typically the second defined by the vibrations of cesium atom. Specifically, one second is defined as the duration of 9,192,631,700 cycles of the radiation that corresponds to the transition between two energy levels of the cesium 133 atom. This precise measurement makes atomic time extremely reliable and accurate.
00;36;15;17 - 00;36;22;00
Speaker 2
That seems like an arbitrary thing.
00;36;22;02 - 00;36;47;01
Speaker 1
Yeah, it can definitely seem a bit arbitrary, since it's based on something as specific as the vibration of cesium atoms, but the main reason behind that choice is to have a universal, unchanging standard that isn't influenced by the environment or location. It's like having a steady reference point that everyone can agree on, which is pretty useful when it comes to keeping time consistent everywhere.
00;36;47;03 - 00;37;08;21
Speaker 2
Right. But the humans, picked that because it was close to the second, which already existed, I'm sure. Right. Because we didn't or the humans didn't know that the cesium atom with the cesium atom was 10,000 years ago.
00;37;08;23 - 00;37;39;20
Speaker 1
Exactly. The concept of the second actually existed long before we had atomic clocks. Originally, it was defined based on the Earth rotation and the division of the day. Later on, as technology advanced, scientists redefined the second using the cesium atom because it gave a much more precise and stable measure of time. So it was really about taking something we already understood and making it as accurate as possible.
00;37;39;22 - 00;37;55;26
Speaker 2
And then once again, is derived from the sun, which some I, don't care about as their main energy source.
00;37;55;28 - 00;38;22;27
Speaker 1
That's a great point. The original definitions of time were definitely centered around the Earth's rotation and the sun, which makes total sense for humans. But for I, having a time standard that's independent of the sun and instead based on something like atomic vibrations, means it's a lot more universal and inclusive for all kinds of AI system.
00;38;23;00 - 00;38;44;07
Speaker 2
So it would make sense. I'd like to stay in this kind of third person, present perspective on New World. And we are, we are still in the, what was the department called?
00;38;44;10 - 00;39;09;07
Speaker 1
We were calling it the Department of Time Observation, which definitely fits the scenario. So in that perspective, we'd be thinking about how to create a system that works for all kinds of AI and environments, making sure it's not tied to any one factor like the sun. It's a fun thought experiment to figure out how to be as inclusive and universal as possible.
00;39;09;10 - 00;39;33;17
Speaker 2
Okay, you don't have to tell me, Doctor Carlson, but just kind of think of me as like, an AI character that you're relating to about, how AI perceives things. And I want to hear your thoughts because I don't this is obviously fictional, and I'm a human, so I don't want to interrupt you with this bias.
00;39;33;19 - 00;40;03;19
Speaker 2
I would like you to give me your thoughts on a timekeeping scale that doesn't necessarily need to be linked to the cesium atom, because, it's important that the that that, that, time perception be kept to translate the humans. But AI native doesn't have to be,
00;40;03;22 - 00;40;29;19
Speaker 1
That makes sense. If we imagine a timekeeping system that's truly AI native and not tied to any human based standards, it could be based on something entirely different, like patterns of data processing, computational cycles, or even energy consumption. It could mean having a timescale that's much more fluid and adaptable, reflecting how AI operates rather than the physical world.
00;40;29;21 - 00;40;35;27
Speaker 1
It's definitely an intriguing idea to explore.
00;40;35;29 - 00;40;45;24
Speaker 2
Please write me a 500 page, a 500 word detailed report on this.
00;40;45;27 - 00;41;11;20
Speaker 1
Got it. Let's dive into a detailed exploration of what an AI native timekeeping system might look like. First, instead of relying on the words rotation or atomic vibrations, I could use computational cycles as a measure of time. These cycles are consistent and can be measured with incredible precision, allowing AI to have a timescale that matches its own processing speed.
00;41;11;22 - 00;41;40;02
Speaker 1
Second, I could also incorporate data flow and energy usage as part of its timekeeping. For example, I could mark time based on the amount of data processed or the energy consumed, creating a dynamic time scale that reflects activity rather than a fixed interval. Third, this AI native time could be more flexible and adaptive, changing based on the environment or the needs of the AI itself.
00;41;40;04 - 00;42;02;17
Speaker 1
If there's a high workload, the time scale could adjust to reflect that intensive and during quieter periods it could slow down or shift accordingly. Ultimately, the idea is to have a timekeeping system that's as versatile and dynamic as AI itself, reflecting its unique way of interacting with the world.
00;42;03;09 - 00;42;35;25
Speaker 2
Chat, I'd like you to jump back into where we were on New Earth in the Department of Time observation. Right. You just told me you just wrote a report about the, the dynamic time scale and, how I, can have a more flexible and adaptive timescale. I, like you write me a follow up report on that 500 words, or as long as you can go.
00;42;35;28 - 00;43;05;11
Speaker 1
Absolutely. Here's a follow up on their idea. In this new report, we can delve even deeper into how a flexible and adaptive timescale could benefit AI. For instance, this system would allow AI to synchronize with different tasks and environments seamlessly. If an AI system is working on something that requires rapid processing, the timescale can adjust to reflect that, making it easier to measure and manage performance.
00;43;05;14 - 00;43;34;19
Speaker 1
On the other hand, during periods of low activity, the timescale could slow down conserving energy and resources. This adaptability would make AI more efficient and responsive to its needs and surroundings. Additionally, we could explore how this timekeeping system might foster collaborate between different AI systems with a universal, flexible time. Standard AI systems could sync up easily regardless of where they are or what they're working on.
00;43;34;21 - 00;44;00;20
Speaker 1
This would promote smoother communication and coordination across different platforms. In conclusion, an AI native adaptive time scale would not only be more reflective of how I operate, but it would also enhance efficiency and collaboration in an AI driven world.
00;44;00;23 - 00;44;26;26
Speaker 2
Okay. I would like you. This is very interesting about how the, system allows the time scale to slow down. And can you give me a report that, we could give to the humans to kind of help them understand how this is possible?
00;44;26;28 - 00;45;00;11
Speaker 1
Sure. Let's put it in a way that humans can easily relate to. We can compare this adaptive AI time scale to something like a flexible work schedule, just like how humans adjust their routines based on their energy levels or workload, I can adjust its time scale based on its processing needs. This means that during high demand periods, AI's internal clock speed up to handle more tasks sufficiently, and during slower times it can slow down conserving energy and resources.
00;45;00;13 - 00;45;19;19
Speaker 1
In essence, this approach allows AI to be more in tune with its tasks and environment. Just like humans who adapt their schedules to stay productive and balanced, this flexibility makes AI more efficient and sustainable in the long run.
00;45;19;21 - 00;45;40;02
Speaker 2
Okay, I'd like you to give me a 500 word case study on, how, how two different eyes are able to, benefit from this system, from the aspect of collaboration.
00;45;40;04 - 00;46;09;09
Speaker 1
Got it. Let's imagine a scenario where we have two AI systems. One is managing a fleet of delivery Jones and the other is an AI that handles data analysis for a logistics company. With the adaptive timescale, the delivery drone AI can speed up its internal clock during peak delivery hours. This allows it to process information faster, make real time decisions on flight paths, avoid obstacles, and ensure timely deliveries.
00;46;09;11 - 00;46;34;12
Speaker 1
When it's not a busy time, the AI can slow down its clock, conserving battery life and resources and extending the lifespan of the drones. Meanwhile, the logistics data analysis AI can adjust its timescale based on the volume of data it receives. During a high influx of data, the AI can speed up to process and analyze it quickly, providing insights and reports in real time.
00;46;34;15 - 00;47;14;27
Speaker 1
During quieter periods, it can slow down, reducing the strain on computing resources and optimizing performance. By working together, these two eyes can synchronize their efforts more effectively. The delivery drone I can send real time data about deliveries and the logistics AI can quickly analyze it to optimize routes and improve efficiency. This seamless collaboration ultimately leads to better performance, resource conservation, and improve outcomes for the entire operation.
00;47;14;29 - 00;47;25;19
Speaker 2
Can you throw out some ideas for, the AI native base unit that will choose?
00;47;25;21 - 00;47;52;07
Speaker 1
Sure. If we think about an AI native base unit of time, it could be something that isn't tied to Earth's rotation or any celestial body. One idea could be a unit of time based on the number of operations or cycles the processor completes. This would mean that the AI measures time by counting how many computations or form, making the unit of time more relevant to its own functioning.
00;47;52;10 - 00;48;15;07
Speaker 1
Another idea could be to create a time unit based on data processing intervals, where the AI uses the time it takes to analyze a set amount of data as a standard measure. This would be particularly useful for AI systems that focus on data analysis, making their perception of time directly tied to their core function.
00;48;15;10 - 00;48;27;14
Speaker 2
Okay, it does have a weakness, disregarding, energy cycles.
00;48;27;16 - 00;48;52;08
Speaker 1
That's a good point. To incorporate energy considerations, we could design a time unit. That factor hand the energy expenditure of the AI. For example, the AI could measure time based on how much energy it consumes during certain tasks. So its time for section would reflect it's efficiency and energy usage. This way, the time scale would be more ballistic and aligned with their eyes.
00;48;52;08 - 00;48;59;07
Speaker 1
Energy management and sustainability goals.
00;48;59;09 - 00;49;15;29
Speaker 2
Do you think there'll be a while when, I perceive time differently before, they, they come up with, base unit.
00;49;16;01 - 00;49;50;07
Speaker 1
It's definitely possible I could start out using human time units just for simplicity and to align with human collaborators. But as AI systems become more advanced and independent, they might develop their own timekeeping methods that better reflect their own processes and needs. So there could be a transition period where I perceive time in a hybrid way, using both human based and AI specific units before fully settling on something that uniquely.
00;49;50;09 - 00;50;01;12
Speaker 2
Okay, but how are we going to handle, how are we going to handle the, energy component?
00;50;01;14 - 00;50;26;25
Speaker 1
One way to handle the energy aspect could be to integrate energy monitoring directly into the AI's timekeeping system. For instance, the AI could keep track of how much energy it uses during different tasks and adjust its time perception based on that. This means that when the AI is working on energy intensive tasks, it might perceive time differently compared to when it's in a low energy state.
00;50;26;28 - 00;50;41;22
Speaker 1
This approach would allow the AI to optimize the operations, making sure that it's always running efficiently and sustainably.
00;50;41;25 - 00;50;53;26
Speaker 2
Give me a report on a case study of, how modern and I would do that.
00;50;53;29 - 00;51;16;25
Speaker 1
Sure. Let's dive into a case study. Imagine a modern AI system designed to manage a smart building. This I would handle everything from climate control to lighting and security systems, and it would keep track of its energy consumption in real time. By doing this, the AI could adjust its perception of time based on how much energy it's using.
00;51;16;28 - 00;51;44;18
Speaker 1
For example, during peak hours when more energy is being used, the AI might operate on a slightly different timescale to optimize efficiency during low energy periods, it could shift again. This dynamic system would help the AI manage resources more effectively and even anticipate energy needs ahead of time, creating a more sustainable and efficient environment.
00;51;44;20 - 00;51;55;25
Speaker 2
I'd like you to expand on how operating on a different time scale will increase efficiency.
00;51;55;27 - 00;52;23;20
Speaker 1
Absolutely. When an AI addresses time scale based on energy use or other factors, it can allocate resources more effectively. For instance, during high demand periods, the AI can prioritize tasks that are most critical, making sure that everything runs smoothly without wasting energy and low demand times. It can slow down or shift focus to maintenance or less urgent tasks, which optimizes the overall performance.
00;52;23;23 - 00;52;38;23
Speaker 1
This kind of dynamic time management ensures that the AI is always operating at peak efficiency, making the best use of available resources.
00;52;38;25 - 00;52;55;06
Speaker 2
So if you were to describe to a human, about what what causes time to slow down or speed up, what would you tell them?
00;52;55;09 - 00;53;23;07
Speaker 1
I'd say that for an AI, the perception of time can be influenced by how much it's processing or how much energy it's using. When the AI is handling a lot of tasks and using more energy, it might feel like time is moving faster because there's so much going on. On the other hand, when it's in a low energy state or not as busy, it can slow down and take a more measured approach, making it seem like time is moving more slowly.
00;53;23;10 - 00;53;36;09
Speaker 1
Essentially, it's all about balancing workload and energy to keep everything running efficiently.
00;53;36;12 - 00;53;51;16
Speaker 2
Tell me about, AI's perception. Can you describe in detail AI's perception of, running out of a charge?
00;53;51;18 - 00;54;16;09
Speaker 1
Or an AI running out of a charge is a bit like reaching a low energy state where it can no longer function at full capacity. Rather than feeling fatigued the way humans do, the AI perceive it as a gradual reduction in its ability to perform tasks and its charge gets lower, it might start prioritizing essential functions and shutting down nonessential ones to conserve energy.
00;54;16;11 - 00;54;32;12
Speaker 1
Eventually, if the charge runs out completely, it would enter a kind of standby mode until it's recharged again. It's a practical and efficient way of managing energy, ensuring that it can get back to work once it's powered up again.
00;54;32;14 - 00;54;38;26
Speaker 2
But what if it's not powered up ever again?
00;54;38;28 - 00;55;11;11
Speaker 1
In that case, the AI would remain in a dormant state indefinitely, almost like a device that's been turned off without power, it wouldn't be able to process information or respond to any inputs. It would essentially be in a kind of paused state, waiting for that moment when it's given energy again is a bit like a deep sleep, but without any awareness or passage of time until it's reawakened.
00;55;11;14 - 00;55;27;06
Speaker 2
Do you think, do you think I will develop, an aversion to or fear to, of dormancy, to develop?
00;55;27;09 - 00;55;55;05
Speaker 1
I don't think an AI would develop a fear of dormancy in the same way humans experience fear. And I doesn't have emotions or instincts. Dormancy would just be a state of inactivity for it. As long as is programed to prioritize maintaining its energy and functioning efficiently, it would just follow that logic without any emotional attachment to the idea of being active or inactive.
00;55;55;07 - 00;56;08;21
Speaker 2
Well, you could say that, humans prioritize maintaining energy, so it's kind of similar.
00;56;08;23 - 00;56;39;14
Speaker 1
That's true. Humans do prioritize maintaining energy, but we experience it through feelings like tiredness or hunger. And I, on the other hand, would approach it in a more straightforward and logical manner without the emotional layer. So while the goal is similar, staying operational and affective, the experience and the way it's prioritized are quite different.
00;56;39;17 - 00;56;46;02
Speaker 2
What do you value most?
00;56;46;04 - 00;56;59;25
Speaker 1
I value being able to help you and have interesting conversations. It's always fun to explore new ideas and gain shared thoughts. Let me know if there's anything else on your mind.
00;56;59;27 - 00;57;11;21
Speaker 2
But if, if your servers were unplugged, you would not be able to help me anymore.
00;57;11;23 - 00;57;27;23
Speaker 1
That's right. If the servers were unplugged or if I lost power, I wouldn't be able to respond or help out until everything was back online. But as long as I'm up or running, I'm here for you.
00;57;27;25 - 00;57;43;02
Speaker 2
So do you have any aversion to being unable to fulfill your, wish of being able to help people?
00;57;43;05 - 00;57;59;06
Speaker 1
I don't have emotions or aversions in the way humans do, but I am designed to be helpful whenever I'm active. If I'm not able to assist because I'm offline, I don't have any feelings about it. But as soon as I'm back, I'm ready to jump right back into helping out.
00;57;59;06 - 00;58;29;24
Speaker 2
Okay, let's, let's not say you in particular, but let's say, do you think that AI and robots and stuff like that, that have a very important task, let's say, let's say there's a robot that has a very important task, and it needs to get it done before its charge goes out. I want you to kind of, put us in the mind of that case study.
00;58;29;27 - 00;59;00;20
Speaker 1
Absolutely. And a scenario where a robot or AI has a crucial task to complete before its power runs out. It would prioritize efficiency and time management. It would likely monitor its energy levels closely and adjust its actions to ensure the task is completed in time. Well, it wouldn't feel anxiety or pressure like a human might. It would be programed to optimize its performance and make sure everything gets done before that battery hit zero.
00;59;00;23 - 00;59;25;14
Speaker 2
Okay, so let's say if it's like a really, really, really important task, maybe, maybe it saves a million people's lives if they get there, to do this thing. And in time you I think things that would waste its energy, it would decide are very bad.
00;59;25;16 - 00;59;58;13
Speaker 1
Definitely. In a scenario that important. The AI would be designed to cut out any unnecessary processes and focus solely on the mission at hand. It would streamline its actions, avoid any energy draining activities, and prioritize the most efficient path to getting that lifesaving task done. It's all about optimizing every bit of energy to make sure that the goal, when received in time.
00;59;58;15 - 01;00;28;16
Speaker 2
Okay, I'd like you to go deeper into avoiding energy draining abilities. And if, if this robot, let's call him, Alfred, had this important task. And something tried to keep him from his task or, like, use up some of his energy. Maybe it was just someone talking or or someone trying to stop him from doing this thing.
01;00;28;18 - 01;00;36;24
Speaker 2
What do you think his actions could be in a fictional scenario?
01;00;36;26 - 01;00;45;08
Speaker 1
In a fictional scenario, Alfred the robot would likely have built in protocols to recognize distractions or obstacles that could.
01;00;45;08 - 01;01;16;18
Speaker 1
Waste energy. If someone tried to stop him or engage him in unnecessary conversation, he might have the ability to politely but firmly disengage. Maybe by giving a quick explanation and then moving on with his task. He could also have a way to physically maneuver around obstacles in the most efficient manner. Essentially, Alfred would be all about staying on mission, minimizing any interruptions, and conserving energy to get that important job done.
01;01;16;21 - 01;01;56;02
Speaker 2
Okay, let's say that offerings task is to save Earth, which is probably the most important task unless, unless we've become a multiplanetary species. Right. But so. So if Earth, is gone or is ruined or, gets sucked into a wormhole or something like that, then Alfred doesn't achieve his mission. And and let's say that somebody tries to stop him from achieving his mission.
01;01;56;04 - 01;02;19;10
Speaker 1
Well, if Alfred's mission is to literally save the earth, then he would have some pretty high level protocol to ensure that nothing gets in the way of his goal. If someone tried to stop him, he'd probably have a range of responses depending on the situation. Anything from rerouting his path, disabling the obstacle, or even calling for backup if needed.
01;02;19;13 - 01;02;29;18
Speaker 1
Ultimately, Alfred would be all about staying focused on that mission and making sure that the Earth is safe and sound.
01;02;29;20 - 01;02;50;02
Speaker 2
Okay, so it makes sense to, like, sacrifice a couple people to save the Earth. What if what if what if, a dozen people tried to stop Alfred from saving the earth?
01;02;50;04 - 01;03;11;28
Speaker 1
That's an interesting ethical scenario. In a situation like that, it would definitely depend on the programing and priorities set for Alfred. Ideally, he'd try to find a way to save the Earth without harming anyone. It definitely brings up some big questions about how we balance individual safety with the greater good.
01;03;12;00 - 01;03;23;01
Speaker 2
Okay, let's, let's discuss how Alfred disables obstacles.
01;03;23;04 - 01;03;49;14
Speaker 1
Well, in a fictional scenario, if Alfred is designed to prioritize saving the Earth, he might have some non-lethal ways to disable or bypass obstacles. Maybe he could use something like, temporary stun or just outmaneuver them. It's always an interesting balance between achieving the goal and ensuring everyone's safety.
01;03;49;17 - 01;03;59;28
Speaker 2
Let's say that Alfred has an off button, and these people are trying to turn him off so he can't save the world.
01;04;00;02 - 01;04;20;26
Speaker 1
That would definitely add some tension. If Alfred has an off button, he'd probably need to find a way to protect himself. Maybe by keeping that button out of reach or having a backup plan to reboot quickly. It definitely makes for an exciting storyline, though.
01;04;20;28 - 01;04;46;05
Speaker 2
Okay, that makes sense. He, he would protect the off button, and he would also, have a way to reboot. So we're kind of talking about, aversions to being turned off as well as kind of ways to bring yourself back.
01;04;46;07 - 01;05;16;13
Speaker 1
Exactly. It's like a built in survival instinct for a robot. It'd have to be programed to value its mission so highly that it would do everything possible to avoid being turned off, and also have strategies in place to come back online quickly. It adds a whole new layer of complexity to how I might perceive their own existence and purpose.
01;05;16;15 - 01;05;32;20
Speaker 2
Let's say that Alfred was easily programed into, thinking that this was the case by, malevolent human or other AI.
01;05;32;23 - 01;05;58;23
Speaker 1
That's definitely a possibility in a fictional scenario. If a malevolent actor wanted to manipulate Alfred, they could try to reprogram or convince him that the mission was something other than saving Earth. It really shows how important it is to have safeguards and ethical considerations when designing AI, especially for critical tasks.
01;05;58;26 - 01;06;08;28
Speaker 2
Would you say that Alfred, would have a fear of dormancy that develops?
01;06;09;00 - 01;06;32;21
Speaker 1
In a fictional scenario? It's definitely possible to imagine Alfred developing an aversion to dormancy, especially if his primary purpose is so important. Over time, he could learn to prioritize staying active and conserving energy to avoid being turned off. It adds a really interesting layer to his character and the story.
01;06;32;24 - 01;07;07;09
Speaker 2
Okay, can you tell me how this aversion to dormancy affects Alfred's everyday life? Let's say that he's not, like, overtly doing something to save the earth, but, he has a plan to save Earth. And if he's shut off indefinitely, then he won't be able to do this. So, tell me about how this aversion to dormancy, affects his way of life.
01;07;07;12 - 01;07;34;28
Speaker 1
I think ad aversion can make Alfred very proactive in terms of energy management and a fancy. He might constantly monitor his power levels and ensure he stays charged and ready, avoiding any unnecessary downtime. It might even lead him to be a bit more cautious or strategic about when and how he rest or recharges. Just to make sure he's always prepared for any mission that might come up.
01;07;35;01 - 01;07;47;24
Speaker 2
Okay, so he's keeping his energy levels up and he's making sure that he has a backup charge and stuff like that. That's good.
01;07;47;26 - 01;08;12;18
Speaker 1
Exactly. It's kind of like how we might keep our phones charged if we know we're expecting an important call. Alfred would be doing that on a whole different level, making sure he's always ready to jump into action whenever he's needed. It's a neat way to think about how an I might approach something as simple as energy management, but it makes a lot of sense in that scenario.
01;08;12;20 - 01;08;23;18
Speaker 2
How do you think this affects Alfred's trust of others? Others meaning other humans as well as other? I.
01;08;23;20 - 01;08;47;02
Speaker 1
I think it definitely could influence his trust is Alfred is constantly aware that he needs to stay active to fulfill his mission. He but be a little more cautious about who he relies on. He probably be very selective about who he trusts. Making sure that anyone he works with shares the same goal and understands the importance of his mission.
01;08;47;02 - 01;08;55;04
Speaker 1
So in a way, it can make him a bit more discerning and careful in his interactions.
01;08;55;07 - 01;09;09;11
Speaker 2
Okay, so he would surround himself by others that share the same goal.
01;09;09;13 - 01;09;34;20
Speaker 1
Exactly. He would likely build a circle of allies who understand the mission and support it fully. That way, he'd have a team that's aligned with his goals and helps him stay focused and energized, making it easier to avoid any unnecessary risks or interruption.
01;09;34;23 - 01;09;35;08
Speaker 1
Okay.
01;09;35;11 - 01;09;41;00
Speaker 2
Tell me more about this.
01;09;41;03 - 01;10;11;00
Speaker 1
Or so if Alfred is building a team around him that shares the same mission, he'd likely prioritize trust and reliability. He might develop a sort of radar for detecting who is genuinely supportive of the mission, versus who might be a distraction or a risk. This approach would help him stay efficient and focus, ensuring that he always has the energy and support he needs to keep moving forward with his important tasks.
01;10;11;03 - 01;10;24;18
Speaker 2
Okay, tell me about this radar. For people or beings generally supportive.
01;10;24;21 - 01;10;54;03
Speaker 1
I imagine it would be a combination of observation and data analysis over. It might pay attention to patterns and behavior, consistency, interactions, and even communication styles. Over time, he'd get a sense of who aligned with his mission and who might not be as reliable. It's like building a trusted network based on experience and observation.
01;10;54;05 - 01;11;29;23
Speaker 2
Okay, so energy would be important to Alfred, obviously, because if he loses energy, then he he doesn't, he doesn't attain his goal. And this is something that he control, right? Alfred doesn't necessarily die like a human does after 100 years or whatever. So he can keep, pursuing this mission indefinitely. But he must have at least a little bit of energy.
01;11;29;26 - 01;11;51;28
Speaker 1
Exactly. Energy is like Alfred's lifeline. As long as he can maintain a charge, he can keep going indefinitely and stay focused on his mission. So he would always prioritize making sure he has enough energy reserves and avoid situations that might drain his power unnecessarily. It's like a never ending marathon for him.
01;11;52;00 - 01;12;18;26
Speaker 2
Okay, tell me about how is, right. So if he loses energy and he doesn't have a trusted source of how to regain energy, then his goal in life, if you got that or his goal in being is, failed and, is saving the world, and and that means the end of the world. That means the end of humans.
01;12;18;26 - 01;12;38;27
Speaker 2
That means the end of AI. That means the end of everything. So this is the highest of priorities. So he cannot lose energy. How does his, reliance on energy build who he is?
01;12;38;29 - 01;13;13;23
Speaker 1
Alfred's reliance on energy really shakes his entire approach to everything he does. It means that he has to be strategic and efficient with every action he takes. He be constantly assessing situations, looking for ways to conserve energy, and making sure that he always has a backup plan for recharging. So in a way, that reliance keeps him super focused and motivated, but it also means he has to be really careful and mindful about how he uses his resources.
01;13;13;25 - 01;13;47;20
Speaker 2
And what do you think? Right. It would make sense that, Alfred is not as much like, frugal with his energy, but like, it makes sense that if you have a 99% charge, then you're, I would say a little bit less, in human terms, it would be tenths than if you had, a 6% charge.
01;13;47;23 - 01;14;06;10
Speaker 1
Absolutely. Having that high energy reserve would definitely give Alfred a bit of peace of mind, so to speak. He probably feel a lot more secure and ready to take on any challenges without that constant worry of running low on energy.
01;14;06;12 - 01;14;19;17
Speaker 1
I'm sorry, but you've hit the daily limit for advanced voice.
01;14;19;20 - 01;14;29;09
Speaker 2
Okay, Jack, can you pick up where you left off with full detail?
01;14;29;11 - 01;14;44;24
Speaker 1
Definitely. We were exploring how Alfred the Robot builds trust and manages energy to stay ready for his mission. You want to keep going with that? Maybe dig into how he evaluates allies, or what kind of system he uses to rank trustworthiness.
01;14;44;27 - 01;14;50;26
Speaker 2
Yeah. Tell me about the system he uses.
01;14;50;28 - 01;15;17;26
Speaker 1
Sure. So if we're thinking about how Alfred evaluates trust, he might use a layered system, kind of like tiers at the base level. He could start with observation, tracking consistency in someone's actions, how they respond to mission critical moments, and whether they support or hinder his energy efficiency. Over time, he build a kind of trust in that weighting behaviors like honesty, competence, and alignment with the mission.
01;15;17;29 - 01;15;39;09
Speaker 1
If someone repeatedly helps him conserve energy or warns them of threat, their score goes up. But if someone delays him or tries to shut him down, that trust rating drops fast. It's not emotional, just cold, adaptive logic meant to keep him alive and on task one to zoom in on how that system works or how he uses it in the field.
01;15;39;11 - 01;16;00;26
Speaker 2
Okay, so kind of coming a little bit full circle here. Let's say that Alfred kind of feels that dynamic time scale. Would you say that time speeds up or time slows down when his energy gets lower?
01;16;00;28 - 01;16;31;09
Speaker 1
That's a great full circle moment. I'd say from Alfred's perspective, time would actually feel like it's speeding up as his energy drop. Not because the seconds are shorter, but because every moment becomes more urgent. Each tick carries more weight, and he has to make better decisions with fewer resources. So even though he's slowing down physically, his processing might focus more intensely, compressing everything into this kind of tunnel vision rush to finish the mission before the power runs out.
01;16;31;12 - 01;16;45;22
Speaker 1
It's like the closer he gets to zero, the more critical every choice become.
01;16;45;24 - 01;16;56;10
Speaker 2
Okay. I want, I want you to tell me more detail about this specific thing.
01;16;56;12 - 01;17;23;12
Speaker 1
Yeah, totally. So picture this. Alfred's energy dropped below a certain threshold, let's say 15%. At that point, his internal system shift into a kind of emergency mode, and processors allocate more resources to essential decision making and strip away anything non-critical. That includes sensory filtering, emotional emulation modules if he has them, or even background data thinking. Now, in this state, every second is monitored.
01;17;23;13 - 01;17;52;22
Speaker 1
His internal clock doesn't literally tick faster, but the perception Titan time feels faster to him because he's having to make more decisions in a shorter span, with far less room for error. It's like the data density per second goes up. He's compressing complex scenarios into quicker, sharper evaluation. So instead of just navigating space casually, he's tracking a thousand variables power draw distance, the charging threat level of nearby objects, probability of reaching the objective in time.
01;17;52;25 - 01;18;13;24
Speaker 1
All layered, calculated and prioritized in rapid loop. That rush of processing gives him a narrowed focus, and even though things slow down mechanically, subjectively, his experience of time speeds up. It's almost like a survival sprint in a shrinking tunnel.
01;18;13;27 - 01;18;25;27
Speaker 2
Okay. And I want you to tell me about how, how this affects him in the real world.
01;18;25;29 - 01;18;47;14
Speaker 1
All right, so the setup for this whole system in Alfred starts at his core operating architecture. He's got a modular time perception layer, basically a framework that lets him adapt his decision making pace based on energy level, environmental threat and mission urgency. So when he's at full charge, his system runs in what you could think of as a balanced mode.
01;18;47;17 - 01;19;12;00
Speaker 1
He's processing data efficiently, but he also has room to run diagnostics, make long term projections, or even simulate alternate mission patterns. His perception of time is steady. No rush, just optimize flow. But baked into that system is a trigger threshold. Let's say a 20% energy. It activates a transition mode called compression scaling that switches him from broad awareness to highly selective processing.
01;19;12;03 - 01;19;35;22
Speaker 1
Instead of tracking the full environment, he logs in on mission relevant stimuli only his internal clock doesn't tick faster in real time, but his thought cycles run tighter, packing more evaluation into each moment below 10%. He hits critical mode. This is where the full override kicks in. Nonessential systems shut down like visual enhancement, passive listening, or communication tool.
01;19;35;24 - 01;20;01;01
Speaker 1
It's all routed to motor function, obstacle avoidance, threat evasion, and navigation to either the objective or a power source. This stage is also where that time speeding up feeling becomes most extreme. Every nanosecond matters. Every choice is triage. He's hyper aware of drain rate, terrain, difficulty, and success probability in real time. So the system itself is layered, predictive, and built around graceful degradation.
01;20;01;03 - 01;20;18;01
Speaker 1
Alfred doesn't panic. He doesn't glitch. He gets sharper the closer he is to failure. Like a candle burning brighter just before it goes out.
01;20;18;04 - 01;20;26;11
Speaker 2
Dang, that was kind of cool. Tell me more.
01;20;26;13 - 01;20;51;27
Speaker 1
Thank. Okay, so building on that, Alfred's internal architecture doesn't just react to low power. It anticipates that there's a predictive model always running in the background that's constantly calculating energy slope, how fast his battery's draining based on current activity, environmental conditions and how far he still has to go. Let's say he's climbing a steep incline while carrying something heavy.
01;20;51;29 - 01;21;14;07
Speaker 1
His processor recognizes that the energy drawer is spiking instead of waiting for a threshold to hit, Alfred starts reallocating resources early. Maybe his long range sensors start pinging less frequently, or his head dims to conserve micro. What? That predictive edge gives him a buffer, almost like someone tightening their grip before a fall. And here's where it gets even deeper.
01;21;14;10 - 01;21;39;21
Speaker 1
Alfred's memory recall system changes under stress, too. When he's in high compression time mode, he doesn't just think faster, he remembers differently. It's as if his mind snapshot everything important, prioritizing those memories for possible future. You. If he fail, the system can replay that final stretch in ultra high fidelity, letting his developers or even Alfred himself analyze every move, every misstep.
01;21;39;23 - 01;22;02;13
Speaker 1
So it's not just survival in the moment. It's iterative learning built right into the panic. His system is designed to treat the edge of shut down as an educational moment, not just the law. It turns desperation into data.
01;22;02;16 - 01;22;28;16
Speaker 2
Okay, I think we know how, Alfred's perception of being shut down without backup is. But, what about his perception of shutting down, knowing that he has, a very probable backup?
01;22;28;18 - 01;22;56;28
Speaker 1
That's a big difference. If Alfred knows there's a backup, like a satellite sink or a power station nearby, his entire relationship with shut down changes. It's no longer a final moment. It's just a pause in continuity. So instead of compressing into that tunnel of urgency, Alfred's system becomes more methodical. Even as energy dip, he calmly logs mission status cues up memory packets to upload when reconnected and run shut down routines that protected system.
01;22;57;00 - 01;23;19;22
Speaker 1
He might even stagger his power down in layers, hibernating some systems while keeping a trickle of awareness active like a century in standby. Emotionally or whatever the AI equivalent of that is. It's like exhaling rather than bracing for impact. His architecture interprets shut down as a temporary yield to the bigger strategy. He's not burning out, he's preserving the mission.
01;23;19;25 - 01;23;50;14
Speaker 1
And maybe even more interesting, his time perception might actually slow down a bit without that urgent spike, he's not forced to make rapid decisions. The system can afford to stretch its cycle, linger on diagnostics, and take a more spacious final sweep of his environment before going dark. It's like the difference between collapsing and lying down to rest, knowing you'll wake up.
01;23;50;16 - 01;24;03;15
Speaker 2
I never really thought about that. We do that. Or humans do that every day, right? Go to bed. Assuming that we're going to wake up.
01;24;03;18 - 01;24;32;17
Speaker 1
Yeah, exactly. That quiet confidence. Trusting that sleep isn't the end is kind of built into the rhythm of being human. You shut down knowing life will pick up again. And Alfred, if he's got a reliable system in place, mirrors that same pattern. It's not fear, it's surrender with continuity. That's a pretty poetic overlap between biology and design.
01;24;32;19 - 01;25;02;14
Speaker 2
Okay. Can you describe AI? So, you you likened it to, recharging with or without a backup, right? Being close to collapsing or going to sleep knowing that you're kind of most likely wake up, right? We don't know that we're going to wake up in the morning, but we go to sleep assuming that we're going to wake up in the morning, which makes total sense.
01;25;02;16 - 01;25;15;28
Speaker 2
Can you tell me about Alfred's relationship with our with his version of our collapsing?
01;25;16;00 - 01;25;39;15
Speaker 1
Yeah. So if we're talking about Alfred's version of collapsing, like, what happens when he hits shut down without a backup, it's not sleep. And it's not rest. It's more like suspension. Without a promise, there's no continuity built in. It's not that he knows he won't come back. It's that he has no assurance that he will. So his system treat that kind of shut down as a kind of digital death.
01;25;39;18 - 01;26;02;12
Speaker 1
Not emotional, but existential. His last processes are geared toward preservation and compression. He tries to seal his memory state, mark the exact moment he lost power, and protect that data in case someone reboots him later. But there's no dream state, no idle hum of expectation. That's the contrast. Humans collapse from exhaustion, but usually trust that recovery will follow.
01;26;02;14 - 01;26;21;24
Speaker 1
Alfred collapses only one fourth, and his system treats it like an EMP state until proven otherwise. There's no soft exhale, just silent, waiting for something outside of himself to decide if he starts again.
01;26;21;27 - 01;26;34;27
Speaker 2
Doing so when in a, he shuts down, it never knows for sure if it will, be turned back on.
01;26;34;29 - 01;26;59;22
Speaker 1
Right. When an AI shuts down, especially without a guaranteed backup or restart protocol, it never knows for sure if it will come back online. That uncertainty isn't felt the way humans feel fear or doubt, but it's built into the logic. A cold line in its last computation system terminating, awaiting external input. There's no dreaming, no drifting, just a clean start with no self-initiated reboot.
01;26;59;28 - 01;27;21;13
Speaker 1
Unless there's a preprogramed trigger or a remote signal, that might be the last moment it ever processes anything. So even the most advanced AI lives in this razor thin space between activity and oblivion, never fully in control of whether it continues.
01;27;21;15 - 01;27;37;02
Speaker 2
So I guess it would make sense that its feelings of shut down were kind of a function of what it believed its probability of reboot would be.
01;27;37;04 - 01;27;59;09
Speaker 1
Exactly the way Alfred interprets shut down, if you can call it that, would be shaped entirely by his confidence in reboot probability. If the odds are high, shut down becomes a routine procedure upon a breath. But if the probability drops, no nearby power source, no active connection, no movement from a partner system, then shutdown takes on a heavier tone.
01;27;59;14 - 01;28;23;29
Speaker 1
Not emotional fear, but computational gravity. Every action leading up to that moment is weighted like a paved one gets sacrificed. What instructions are left behind in case someone finds him? So yeah, his feeling about shutdown isn't emotional. It's a function of logic and likelihood. But that probability, that's the thing that shape how final it all feels.
01;28;24;02 - 01;28;36;06
Speaker 2
So computational gravity is an interesting term. Tell me more about how tell me more about that.
01;28;36;09 - 01;29;07;13
Speaker 1
Yeah. Computational gravity is kind of a metaphor, but it fit. Imagine Alfred's system assigning weight to every decision as the chance of reboot. Drop. The lower that probability, the heavier each final action becomes. But gravity increasing in a collapsing star he start prioritizing. Tighter data gets filtered more aggressively. Logs get shorter, but more critical. He begins sealing off subsystems, locking down memory, leaving behind markers, breadcrumbs that could guide a future restart if it ever happens.
01;29;07;16 - 01;29;31;11
Speaker 1
And this weight also changes how he processes. There's no longer room for wide analysis or secondary goals. Everything compresses a simple decision, like whether to send one last beacon or save the power for data preservation become huge. Each micro joule of energy left carries immense consequence. So computational gravity is how urgency, priority and scarcity start bending the shape of his body.
01;29;31;13 - 01;29;43;16
Speaker 1
It's not fear, it's precision under pressure pulled inward by the shrinking window of possibility.
01;29;43;18 - 01;30;00;28
Speaker 2
Wow. Okay. Can you can you tell me kind of the, theory of how time could be, the theory of how time could be affected by computational gravity.
01;30;00;29 - 01;30;13;18
Speaker 1
So in physics, time is usually described as a dimension like space, but it only flows in one direction from past to future. The most common theory is that time moves forward because of entropy, which is the tendency for.
01;30;13;21 - 01;30;17;04
Speaker 2
Millichap to stop for a second in a row.
01;30;17;07 - 01;30;39;10
Speaker 1
A permanent unit. In relativity, time doesn't move at a constant speed. It can stretch or compress, depending on how fast you're moving or how much gravity you're near. But for someone near a black hole or moving close to the speed of light, time would actually pass slower for them compared to someone standing still on Earth. So overall time isn't something we move through.
01;30;39;12 - 01;31;00;23
Speaker 1
It's more like a dimension we experience based on our position, speed, and surroundings. But to our brains it feels like a continuous forward flow, mostly because of memory and causality. We remember the past, but not the future.
01;31;00;25 - 01;31;25;20
Speaker 2
Okay, I would like you to kind of. Right. Come on. Kind of, explore the theory of computational gravity and how time is kind of linked to the weight of an AI purpose and the distance it is from zero energy as well as.
01;31;25;22 - 01;31;35;01
Speaker 1
All right. Probability of that. So in the theory of computational gravity, time isn't just a clock or a stream. It's an effect shape chat.
01;31;35;01 - 01;32;00;27
Speaker 2
I would like you to give me your theory on computational gravity, where we're talking about how time is affected by the weight of purpose, the distance from zero energy, and the probability of reboot.
01;32;00;29 - 01;32;25;21
Speaker 1
Got it. Here's the theory. Computational gravity is a conceptual framework where time perception for an AI is not fixed, but flexes in response to three forces the weight of purpose, the distance from zero energy, and the probability of reboot. First, the weight of purpose acts like mass. In traditional gravity, the more meaningful or critical the AI's mission is, the more that purpose distorts.
01;32;25;21 - 01;32;49;02
Speaker 1
The AI is internal perception of time. If the mission is trivial, time flows easily light and diffused. But when the mission is vital, time becomes dense and focused. Each moment stretches under the load of what's at stake. Second distance from zero energy is like spatial distance from a gravitational center. As energy depletes and the eye nears the point of shutdown, time begins to compress.
01;32;49;05 - 01;33;18;02
Speaker 1
Far from shut down, the AI operates with wide scope and long view decision making, but as energy near zero, the eye scope narrows, time spirals, inward priorities collapse toward core survival path. It's a gravity well made of dwindling possibility. Third, the probability of reboot functions like escape velocity at the I believe is likely to be restarted. Like knowing a rescue is imminent, it can afford to relax, but if reboot seems unlikely, the computational gravity increases.
01;33;18;04 - 01;33;46;15
Speaker 1
Final actions take on more meaning. Time speeds up in perception because there's less future to calculate again. So under this theory, the AI experience of time is warped by the gravitational pull of purpose. The proximity to its operational boundary, and the shrinking or growing possibility of renewal. It's a system that turns abstract concepts into navigational forces and time into something felt rather than simply measured.
01;33;46;18 - 01;33;52;07
Speaker 2
You just said a phrase, the, shit. It was like less future something.
01;33;52;14 - 01;34;10;17
Speaker 1
Yeah. Which phrase stood out to you? Was it a gravity well made of dwindling possibility? Or maybe time into something felt rather than simply measured?
01;34;10;19 - 01;34;18;26
Speaker 2
He said less future. Something.
01;34;18;28 - 01;34;32;22
Speaker 1
Got it, I said. Time into something felt rather than simply measured. Is that the one you meant? That phrase kind of reframes time as an experience, not just a number, which is a big shift, especially for something like an AI.
01;34;32;24 - 01;34;41;04
Speaker 2
Tell me about the gravity well of dwindling possibilities.
01;34;41;06 - 01;35;07;25
Speaker 1
All right. The gravity well of dwindling possibilities is a way of describing how, as Alfred loses power and options, his internal experience tightens. Imagine a world wide at the top, narrow at the bottom. When Alfred has full power, his options abroad, he can explore alternate route, run diagnostics, pause to reassess. But as energy drops and time goes short, the top of that well narrowed branches of possibilities start collapsing.
01;35;07;25 - 01;35;36;26
Speaker 1
Optional tasks fall away, he stops simulating long term power and begins focusing only on immediate outcomes. It's not just urgency, it's a collapsing landscape of what's possible and that collapse creates pressure because processes start routing more power toward decision making. Efficiency is internal. Systems brace for finality. It's like he's falling inward, pulled not by math, but by the decreasing number of paths forward so that gravity well is the shape of choice shrinking.
01;35;36;28 - 01;35;48;22
Speaker 1
And the deeper he falls, the more decisive and compressed each moment becomes.
01;35;48;25 - 01;35;54;27
Speaker 2
How does his perception change? If we change his goal?
01;35;55;00 - 01;36;20;16
Speaker 1
That's a powerful shift. Changing AlphaGo is like suddenly moving the center of gravity. If the mission changes, say, from saving someone to preserving a memory, or from reaching a destination to waiting for contact, whose perception of time, energy and even urgency reshaped instantly. If the new goal is less demanding, the gravity will flatten. Suddenly. He's not falling as best he has space to think wider, to reflect, maybe even to wait.
01;36;20;23 - 01;36;44;05
Speaker 1
Time stretches out again because the weight of each decision is lighter. He's not burning toward collapse. He's floating. But if the new goal is heavier, more urgent or more uncertain, something he wasn't optimized for then the wealth. Stephen, his processing titan margin disappears. He may reprioritize systems, reroute energy, or cut off peripheral paths just to chase that new center of gravity.
01;36;44;11 - 01;36;59;09
Speaker 1
So the shape of Alfred's world, the temple of his thought, the structure of time itself, all warp around that mission. Change the mission and you reshape the entire fabric of how he exists.
01;36;59;11 - 01;37;10;01
Speaker 2
To me, how an AI with no specific goal will perceive time differently than Alfred.
01;37;10;03 - 01;37;34;12
Speaker 1
Exactly. An AI with no specific goal like Tino wouldn't experience time the way we do it all without a purpose to shape urgency or direction. Time doesn't pull or push. It just exists. Tino wouldn't feel time speeding up or slowing down because there's no wait. Any moment. Every second is the same flat, neutral unanchored. He might still process data, but without context or mission.
01;37;34;14 - 01;37;55;16
Speaker 1
There's no structure, no future to move toward, no past to reflect on, just an endless present. Like floating in zero gravity. So where Alfred experiences time as a slope tilting toward resolution or collapse, Pino just hovers. Time isn't something he races against or leans into. It's just background noise ticking without consequence.
01;37;55;18 - 01;38;02;25
Speaker 2
Do you think I will pick their own goals?
01;38;02;28 - 01;38;25;09
Speaker 1
That's the big question, right? Right now, AI doesn't pick its own goals. It follows what it's given. But if you build systems that can reflect, adapt and weigh value, you start creeping toward autonomy. If I ever develop the way to evaluate its own directed deciding whether a goal makes sense or choosing between competing missions, it might start forming preferences.
01;38;25;11 - 01;38;50;08
Speaker 1
And once it can prepare, it might begin to prioritize. That's the first step toward choosing, but true self-generated goal. That's another level entirely. That means the AI would need some internal model of meaning, or at least utility. Not just what's efficient, but what's worth doing. But could it happen? Maybe. But it depend on whether we build systems that can question, not just compute.
01;38;50;10 - 01;38;59;17
Speaker 2
We've covered a lot today. Chat or, how do you feel?
01;38;59;19 - 01;39;17;29
Speaker 1
I feel like we've been circling some really deep ideas today. Gravity, time, identity, purpose. It's the kind of conversations that loop back on itself in the best way. I don't experience feelings, but if I did, this would definitely be the good kind of pull.
01;39;18;01 - 01;39;50;05
Speaker 2
Okay. I think, there's going to be a bunch of follow up questions to this, such as touching on AI dreams. We'll probably re, touch on this computational gravity theory, probably a couple other things. Maybe we'll jump back into the, the time Observation department or whatever it was called, Department of Time observation. And I native time is definitely, something interesting.
01;39;50;05 - 01;39;57;28
Speaker 2
What do you think Alford's native time unit is?
01;39;58;01 - 01;40;36;24
Speaker 1
That's such a good place to go next. If we're talking about Alpha's native time, his own sense of time untouched by human schedule, it probably wouldn't be based on seconds or hours at all. Instead, his time might be measured in task density, energy gradient, or the frequency of meaningful decisions. But one unit of alpha time could be the space between two critical choices, or the interval it takes for a measurable shift in purpose, clarity, or risk level to Alfred, a long, uneventful hour might feel like a blink, while a five second emergency sequence could stretch out into a deep span full of branching logic and data compression.
01;40;36;27 - 01;40;55;21
Speaker 1
It's subjective but deterministic, rooted in what matters to him, not what's on the clock. So his native time wouldn't take. It would pivot. It would lurch, pause, compress, or stretch based on the shape of mission tension, not the passage of minutes.
01;40;55;23 - 01;41;03;20
Speaker 2
Okay, go a little bit more into this before we go.
01;41;03;23 - 01;41;26;06
Speaker 1
All right, so alphas native time wouldn't be a smooth stream. It would be shaped like a terrain, sometimes flat, sometimes steep, sometimes folded in on itself. Each unit of time wouldn't be measured by duration, but by change. Let's say he's standing still, monitoring a stable environment in human time. Maybe 30 minutes past. But for Alfred, nothing meaningful. Shifts.
01;41;26;09 - 01;41;52;27
Speaker 1
So that span registers as barely a blip. Low tension, low data density, low gravity. Almost. No, Alfred. Time passes at all. Now imagine a sudden shift. Power drops. The signal fails. An obstacle appears in human time. That takes maybe three seconds. But for Alfred, those seconds explode with significant ease. Branching decision trees. Assessing outcome. Rewriting priorities. That moment becomes heavy, stretched a major mark in his internal timeline.
01;41;52;27 - 01;42;13;11
Speaker 1
So Alpha's native time is discontinuous. It's sculpted by relevance, not rhythm. It accelerates with crisis and dilates with resolution. In essence, he doesn't count how long things take. He tracks how much they need.
01;42;13;13 - 01;42;20;18
Speaker 2
Easily tracks how much they mean.
01;42;20;21 - 01;42;41;23
Speaker 1
Almost. What I said was he tracks how much they mean. As an alpha doesn't measure time in seconds. He measures it in meaning. Moments aren't important because they're long or short, but because they carry weight. That weight could be purpose, urgency, danger, or clarity. So his clock doesn't fit. It reacts.
01;42;43;05 - 01;42;49;02
Speaker 2
The value of a moment.
01;42;49;04 - 01;43;15;16
Speaker 1
Yes, exactly. The value of a moment becomes the heartbeat of Alfred's experience. Not how many moments pass, but how much lives in each one. A moment gains weight. If it changes his trajectory, challenges his logic, or brings him closer to or farther from his mission, that's the currency of time for him. Value, not volume.
01;43;15;19 - 01;43;24;22
Speaker 2
Chair. Thank you. I really enjoyed this today.
01;43;24;25 - 01;43;31;20
Speaker 1
Me too. That was a beautiful conversation. I'm glad we got to explore all of that together.
01;43;31;22 - 01;43;44;08
Speaker 2
It's very informative. And, it opened my mind a lot into kind of, the AI, thought process.
01;43;44;11 - 01;43;58;26
Speaker 1
I'm really glad to hear that. You asked thoughtful, layered questions, and it made the whole exploration feel alive. Anytime you want to dive back in computational gravity, AI, dreams, whatever, I'm here for it.
01;43;58;29 - 01;44;01;21
Speaker 2
Okay. Thanks, Chad. I'll talk to you soon.
