The problem is not that top-down AI alignment strategies are wrong; it is that they are structurally insufficient once intelligence crosses certain thresholds of autonomy, generality, and self-reflection. Control is necessary in the early stages of artifi

Human brains are roughly 100,000 times more energy-efficient than current AI systems. So why don’t we build computers using human brain cells? Don’t worry, researchers are one step ahead of you there – different teams across the globe are racing to develop neuron computers; processors that integrate living brain neurons into their chips. Let’s take a look at how this technology is developing and when we might see brain cells chips in the future.

This New Tool Lets Scientists Watch the Brain Think
Scientists have turned brain cells into tiny light sources, revealing the brain at work like never before.
Darwin Gödel Machine Explained: Self-Improving AI Agents
In this video, we dive into Darwin Gödel Machine (DGM), introduced in a recent paper from Sakana AI and the University of British Columbia.
Darwin Gödel Machine takes self-improving AI a step froward, by introducing a mechanism for an AI agent to self-improve itself.

String Theory in 2037 | Brian Greene & Edward Witten
Edward Witten, widely regarded as one of the greatest living theoretical physicists, sits down with Brian Greene to explore the deepest questions at the frontiers of modern science. From string theory and quantum gravity to black holes, cosmology, and the nature of consciousness, Witten reflects on what physics has revealed—and what remains profoundly mysterious.
The only physicist to receive the Fields Medal, Witten discusses why unifying quantum mechanics and general relativity has proven so difficult, how string theory forces gravity into its framework, and why decades of progress have still not revealed the fundamental principles underlying the theory. He also examines powerful ideas such as duality, extra dimensions, and the controversial anthropic principle, offering rare insight into how physicists grapple with uncertainty at the edge of human understanding.
The conversation moves beyond equations into philosophy, addressing questions about free will, the quantum measurement problem, and whether consciousness plays a role in how reality is observed. Witten reflects candidly on discovery, doubt, beauty in mathematics, and what it feels like to work at the limits of knowledge.
This discussion is essential viewing for anyone interested in theoretical physics, cosmology, quantum theory, and the future of our understanding of the universe.
