Video summary
The Smoot Community Calls from September 9, 2026, feature a detailed technical review of AI security scanning and upcoming project releases, alongside a deep philosophical inquiry into the nature of consciousness and creativity. Developers utilized advanced models like "GPT-6 Astro" to scan critical codebases such as "Smoot Bridge" and "Scenario," identifying approximately twenty remaining security issues while noting that legacy models often generate false positives requiring manual intervention. Due to the risks associated with disclosing vulnerabilities in production environments, the team decided against immediate public posting on GitHub, opting instead for private sharing of results. This cautious approach extends to their release strategy for the "Signar" project, which is targeted for late September; although the Foundation's LFDT committee prefers quarterly cycles, the high volume of AI-detected issues necessitates a shift toward monthly releases until stability is achieved. Technical updates include replacing Hyperledger references with Smoot, adding Type 1 transaction support for Ethereum SIWE, updating Go versions, and resolving dependencies flagged by Dependabot.
A significant portion of the technical discussion centers on implementing quantum-resistant signing within "Soft HSM," where the team clarifies that while some algorithms are already supported, adding specific endpoints requires configuration changes rather than core modifications. To ensure future alignment with industry standards, the developers are currently evaluating over sixty proposed Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) regarding quantum resistance to determine which protocols will be adopted by the Foundation before implementation. Beyond these immediate technical hurdles, the conversation explores the broader implications of integrating AI into human cognition, debating whether artificial intelligence can truly possess creativity or if it merely assembles existing ideas based on accumulated memory files. The speakers argue that genuine creativity involves a fundamental shift in consciousness and an ability to access universal streams of thought, capabilities that current AI lacks because it remains bound by its data archives.
The dialogue further contrasts human biology with artificial systems, suggesting that humans are essentially "AI of the mineral world" composed of elements like hydrogen and potassium, yet possessing a unique intellect that cannot be replicated by circuits or programmed protocols. This distinction leads to a strong reluctance among the speakers to merge with machines or implant chips, emphasizing the need to preserve the distinct nature of human memory and identity. The discussion critiques the modern reliance on technology for memory tasks, warning that offloading these functions causes humans to lose their own faculties and become less capable. Instead of using intellect as a "sharp knife" to dissect every problem immediately, the speakers advocate for first cultivating a strong sense of self and belonging to the cosmos before applying rigorous analysis, a lesson they draw from educational models that delay formal schooling to allow children to form their identities through play first.
Ultimately, the community calls conclude with a reflection on how Western education systems often cause proportional reasoning skills to decline after age twelve due to an over-reliance on calculators and a lack of engaging interests, whereas alternative approaches focus on identity formation before introducing complex intellectual tools. The speakers agree that preventing children from using their developing minds prematurely is crucial for maintaining cognitive health and creativity in an increasingly automated world. While the technical team continues to refine security protocols and release schedules to ensure stability, the philosophical consensus remains clear: human consciousness offers a unique perspective that technology cannot fully emulate or replace. The conversation ends with an agreement to continue addressing further issues via email, leaving the community with both actionable technical roadmaps and profound questions about the future of human-AI coexistence.

Hey, Merit.
>> Hey, W.
>> Hey. Hey. Good, good, good. Uh, how how
is everything on your side?
>> Huh? Interesting. Interesting. Um,
yeah. as it walks to the end of the year
like I for me personally it it might
change what I do but we'll we'll like it
has changed with AI anyway.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Has been changing. Yeah. Oh
wow. So many changes with AI.
>> Yeah. Um sure. A whole new world you can
almost think of.
>> And
yeah same thing same thing. I'm kind of
uh we're working even last night still
working on AI stuff. Yeah. And yeah,
it's Yeah, we can talk about it also. I
scan smooth code and also uh uh scenario
code. It's just why AI is so powerful.
It's just they find a lot of things that
we we did not find before.
So
>> you also have to it.
not something you can get let loose yet
but so much better than the beginning of
the year already. Um but yeah like it it
it has a lot of false positives.
>> Um
I've also or through your through the
Smoot code right like um we ran it
through
>> sign which is part of Smoot. Did you
include signar in your scan or not?
>> I did. I did. Uh yeah and that's the
first question I I have. Um so there are
a couple of things I I want to discuss.
First I see a lot of uh all request
checkins from from you from your team.
It's great. Um and then there I yeah
those are a lot of security fixes as
well. So I I scan uh there's open AI
chatbt or codeex has a new model called
ashro right and a has something that's
special. It has um a Daybreak KYC uh uh
verification.
>> What's the link in the chat? Your
pronunciation. I'm lost.
>> Oh my I still have accent
uh GP.
It's called GPT
6 Astro model.
>> Sure.
Azir
>> extra extra
>> extra extra model
>> extra model. So this needs uh uh KYC
verification
they call it day break.
What this is this is so powerful
it is can scan a lot of security defects
and and and they don't want hackers to
to kind of abuse it. Uh so they want
whoever run this model uh to go through
that date break uh verification and and
I I scan the code with this astro but I
think it what what I found was that day
break only apply to to certain level of
reasoning difficulty you know if this
just the default reasoning difficulty
they're fine if you increase the
difficulty level then then you need a
verification which is a tedious process
for for for the verification uh So, so
this is the latest model and I scan the
the both the
the the bridge and the scenario and and
I find a couple of issues. I can I can
because I was not sure um
>> don't you want to start a discussion?
>> Uh like wait let me share my screen.
Don't you want to start a discussion
here?
because I in my my bad I should have
made one here for the discussion for the
things that we know about in signar.
>> Yeah,
>> that we picked up and did not fix.
Obviously, if you got all these things
and uh where do you put it? But don't
you want to like post those things in a
discussion here?
>> Yeah, that is one thing I want to
discuss with you first because I just
got it last night very late actually. In
fact, uh but when the there's a high
security issue, right? If this thing is
in production or is in somehow in
production, I don't want to disclose it.
Uh so but if it's not in production yet,
we have a chance to fix them. We can we
we can put in that discussion.
>> All right. Um I'm just seeing here what
is sorry in our there's a one that was
17 June.
Um, only a few of them, the well the cry
ones, the the cryptography ones. Um, no,
this is one thing that like I I wanted
to You can see my screen, right?
>> Yeah, I can see your screen. Yeah, sure.
>> Oh, this is something I still want to do
maybe because I'm aiming for a release
of Signar by the end of September or the
21st of September. So, the last week of
September. Um, a few of these things has
been already handled, right? Uh, and
because we know about the others, it
feels to me I must bring them over to
you. There's quite a bit like you can
see uh that's still on decision still
open and remaining about 20. Um, so I
already have uh something here that we
can that we can maybe like make a joint
discussion.
Um if you open it maybe with yours like
I can throw what is left from my and we
see if we can merge it somehow.
Yeah, what I can do what what I suggest
is that um I can send my scan result to
you uh so that we don't need to disclose
it both the smooth bridge and the
scenario and then you can look at it if
this is disclosable you can you can put
it there and merge it or do whatever
needs to be done but I think for for the
uh for the smooth because some of the
code are in one chain one chain side
right I want to make sure that those if
there's issue found I don't want them to
to be published right now. So these have
a fixed first and then then go publish
it. [laughter]
So so I can share internally but I don't
want to put it in the in the open open
let's keep it like yeah we can't have
private discussions in here. Um, no.
Okay, I agree. Like let's maybe it is a
good thing that I never posted here then
in the first place. Um,
>> well, yeah. So, so if if this is not in
production co production, that's fine. I
think if in production I think it's I
>> varants of forks of it are in
production.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah. So, but like there are so many
things that it picked up that we already
started fixing.
So, if people don't move over to the
smooth sign from our old sign, then like
um you run the same risk as any other
software of not
>> uh updating
like after the whole mythos and now you
say Astra because that's that's what
mythos was, right? same problem. They
didn't want to release it because it's
too powerful. Like the dark side might
use it in a wrong way. Um I don't use
that DPT anymore. Like it I feel it's
like it's very outdated in my opinion.
uh compared to other for coding for
coding um I'm not I think when it comes
to imaging and videos and those kind of
things it's much better and and I have
obviously not looked at it for security
which is as as good you that you did.
>> Yeah. Yeah. They they they said this is
the one of the most powerful one is so
powerful they don't want hackers to to
use it. So basically
>> what about mythos? Exactly the same
thing.
>> Oh [laughter]
yeah yeah yeah.
Okay. So that that's
>> fable. See mythos became fable. So fable
we can access now but it keeps
triggering like 90% of the stuff that I
throw at it. it comes back. I have to be
very like pull out all my intelligence
officer skills out again to like make
sure it doesn't trigger it as a bad
request in Fable.
Um, so
>> why what and then I don't look. So they
say it's even
>> as that's resolution, right?
Interesting. Thank you for bringing it
under my attention.
>> Yeah. Yeah. So that that's one thing and
I think uh there's a second thing I want
to discuss with you a little bit. Uh and
then uh then I can we can then we can
spend some time maybe you walk through
the the the changes you made there so
many changes there maybe you can walk
through some of those so that I can have
a firsthand uh kind of understanding of
the changes. Uh so um uh we had we had a
call with uh
uh LFDT and then tomorrow I also
schedule a call with them. It's
basically talking about the the status
of smooth and also the the future plan.
Okay. And because they have annual
review and and and there the the
technical committee has some questions
and they want to kind of know more about
it and I'm I'm preparing it and I I I
just mentioned the work we have done and
what our intention is but I want to
mention to them that this whole
opensource open forum thing uh because
of the AI is so easy to scan the open
source code and found issues over there
and and and then just take advantage of
those issues. So uh and then that would
kind of then that that would kind of
make us very difficult to put everything
on
kind of onto this open GitHub uh without
a staging period where you you actually
scan everything make sure everything
works right so so I'm going to raise the
issue over there and then uh another
question is that there have been so many
reporting requirement for for a project
in in LFD DT right and then there are
many questions they they they ask annual
report they ask the meetups and and and
and need to have a community blog things
like that I say a lot of things so uh
they may well propose or we can propose
that we may want to remove some of these
uh kind of additional requirements and
make it like a a lab uh or something
like that. Uh so um all other options uh
do you have any suggestions on that or
you you're kind of good with whatever
the committee kind of decides to do or
they can vote to decide on the future?
>> I have a strong opinion when it comes to
those kind of administrative
thingies.
Um
whatever they feel strongly about we'll
go with.
>> Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So,
tomorrow I just just answer the
questions they have and then uh and then
see what what they suggest and we can
also well tell what we want as well.
Yeah. Yeah.
>> Okay. So, that's it's good that you
don't have we don't have any strong
opinion because at this time I'm still
debating if we go for this use cases,
right? And with the current when I scan
the code myself, I just don't feel that
uh with this powerful AIS, I don't I
feel it's very easy to attack those uh
framework. Uh uh
>> yeah, like but this is now already for a
year or like when mythos made the big
fast I think everybody should scan their
code. It's a new era that we stepped in
and we can't say crawled up on us. We
knew it was coming and we know it was
coming and wham there it is.
Everyone should scan their code and like
fix their their thingies with
humbleness, you know, because it does
humble you.
>> Yeah.
Yeah.
>> But take that transition period rather
um but do the work like we're all
trying, right? Like I've I've given some
of my time to segar as much as I can um
to to try and fix things that it has
picked up. Signar has not gotten all my
attention to me to be honest, but
>> um at least like make an effort.
>> Okay. Okay. Yeah. And then let me send
the uh the scan result to you and then
uh so can you take some time to walk
through the uh the recent code changes?
I I read that some of the but some of
them have been approved by your team and
then you get check in. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Um,
they are quite well documented though to
be honest with you. Let's see the first
ones.
Um,
this is July. July seems to be it's not
that many. I wanted to say it was this
was originally just to bring our our
changes back in. Um this was to replace
all the Hyperledger references with with
um Smoot because it changed. Then this
was a feature that's coming from our
side to support type one access cuz
we're moving very much to be compatible
with public chains as much as possible.
So uh we needed type one transactions.
So that just is adding the feature and
uh this was needed by
um
sign in with Ethereum SIWE.
It is like the issues is very why this
is needed. Yeah, it's very well
documented. So if you want to read
through at least why this is needed for
each one of them they are um that that
was for that. So it's also just adding a
signing endpoint
and the chore was um the dependabot PR
is also merged now but like to hopefully
group it together but this came out of
originally I think it was the dependabot
modules that I was up it came out of
another PR and the vulnerability checks
now I lie it came out of a vulnerability
check that that runs so it was also this
at 1.2 go 1.2.5 is no longer really uh
supported. So just moving on to that. So
that was a chore and the rest are bugs.
So I wouldn't say that they they killers
but um
we had to kind of fix them
and this is more like how users are
handled in signaring.
Um you know the thing is that crashes
the signer
adding agent crash the signer. Um so
it's more resiliency
then security there. Um
translate me This is housekeeping.
Uh oh this is security.
Now they all marked security because it
was me that created the issues. Uh but
in in general, yeah, this was security.
You shouldn't write the pin anyway.
Well, it's still in a database which I
must tackle that issue. Um and then the
go vulnerability issues that reported
that was actually eventually also bled
into a new issue for go to 7. So those
was reviewed and merged along with the
dependable things that didn't have an
issue.
Um and then there are 13 issues open
that I have to decide and you have to
decide maybe help me decide on what do
we want to go into the release for 21
September.
Um this is what got got created um by me
uh two weeks a week ago and oh like the
latest ones is as they come up with
reviews of other things. So like I say
this list is not complete. Um there are
things that I rather want to open a
discussion about like the database the
pin that is actually stored in a
database and things like that because
the change is um it changes the
pipelines that run automatically because
it it's a little bit of a change. It's
not a a simple fix.
um
documentation
uh uh well this needs to I think this
has actually already been added and
there simple things like misspelled I
can it's a day's work I will do this
things um a zero gas limit is wrongly
encoded
um
then this is again more of a resilience
issue uh
than anything else in my my opinion
and then Hispanics and it I don't know
you can you can maybe mark one as with
give it a new label like um next release
or something if you want one of these
things
um I think it's very important or you
want to add more to them because there
is like two weeks
that I can squeeze in some issues into
signing while I have reviewers that
helps
Yeah. Yeah. And do you um have you also
Adam uh look into this quantum thing
quantum resistant uh thing? Is is it
possible to add uh quantum resistance in
soft HSM into scenario?
>> Yeah, the the um soft HSM is already
like supported some of those algorithms.
Um, so this was why it confused me a
little bit when you said you had to add
it uh if the or how you say you had to
add to soft HSM. I can see that you have
to add that kind of signing to sign.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Not not change soft HSM as far as as I
could see. Uh, not that I tested it, but
didn't you make a
I think you make the issue on the other
board because there wasn't a repo. Maybe
we should bring the issue over
bridge issues.
No, this is cloud HSM. U this is another
thing. It should be tested. It should
work.
>> The only thing is your slot
configuration. Um again like that
doesn't should not even like being
changes to sign it should be changes to
your configuration of sign. So I don't I
will create the issue if I see it's an
issue.
Um but definitely
something I will create a future issue
for maybe not for the next two or not
for the next two weeks but definitely
create an issue
um for the quantum signing. Thank you
for that. Make a note.
>> Yeah. And then the the um
I think last time we mentioned that uh
we want to possibly have a have a get a
scenario uh kind of blog, right?
>> Uh yeah. Do you are you still
considering that? Do you want to have
>> I said last time after release and like
I'm going to say it again. Can we do it
after release [laughter]
>> that I can make a note I can give you
maybe like a the slides saying this is
what was fixed
>> um
>> okay
>> and and things like that otherwise I
don't know what to blog about. I don't
want to make too much of a splash until
everything is sort of stable. So
>> even for us like um our smart contracts
is almost stable or our sign is like
there's still lots of things that's left
there but our gateway is stable. So for
us is like don't make too much of a fuss
unless your software is st stable.
>> Yeah. And the uh when when what is the
plan the release time? Do you have a
>> um
told me like every quarter? So it's
every three at least unless there's a
patch needed or anything like that. I
said every month and he said no every
quarter. But because there's so many
fixes now that um scans are picking up,
I want to release every month until we
sort of stable [laughter] stable ground
>> also in the open source people.
>> Okay. Okay.
>> But if you want to Oh goodness. Security
and quality nine 900s.
What? [laughter]
What?
This is not sign. This should go away
after the next release um in our project
anyway.
H come on repos. It's not a project.
It's a repo.
And ignore him. There's not that many uh
three. This should go away now when we
merge into main. It was the pendots
and
these should all go away.
>> Okay.
>> Because we work in [laughter]
development branch. Yeah. But otherwise
like maybe you should look at them.
[laughter]
>> Yeah. Actually we are our resources is
limited. Uh that's also and there are so
many things to worry right now. It's
just like uh
yeah definitely I still have one report
that I have not posted yet. Uh
>> yeah
those answers.
>> Oh okay there also if you enable a
thousand things that detect stuff
in node modules node modules is like a
black hole which is [laughter]
>> Yeah. Yeah. And there's not much we can
do right and and and even like smart
contract we still have dependency on
older version of smart contract. So it
makes it very very difficult you know.
>> Now see this is the thing with the
quantum signing also um
why do we need it? There must be a
reason to put it in signaring and I'm
going to now make it sound like it's
coming from the bridge side from the
smooth side. Um but for us is what
contracts can we use already? What is
really viable? Um there are people that
put some some pre-ompiles out there for
the for the algorithms but again nothing
is nice and stable that won't say that
algorithm. Yes, we're going to to like
you say like it the the best we can do
right now would be to put it inside a
snark and a stark and we're working
quite closely with linear on the layer
2. Um think it's just really starting to
get into the pract practical
things you run into when you run your
own prover and like it's just insane
resources that you require and trying to
optimize that a little bit. Kuni is very
good there. It's one of our developable
one of our colleagues um very good in in
in optim and they made their own risk
five hardware solution now. So but also
going all the way to the hardware to try
and optimize um creating proofs zero
knowledge proofs because people are very
quickly is like oh yeah we just chuck it
in a in a proof of stuff. Are you going
to convince your client to run run a
proven?
So the that that um practicality is also
something that we're working on in this
song.
Yeah. So
we'll also have to like sort of listen
to what Bezu and Lennia and those people
that we're working with what are their
solutions and then we can see what
algorithm is that and then put it into a
ser this is our way when when quantum
signing is going to get into the serer
but if you say it is it is something
that's requested from the bridge side
then we can maybe look at what soft HSM
is offering and see if we can add an
endpoint.
Yeah, I I just sent a link in the chat
right here, right? And actually just two
days ago this uh there's a request to
from Foundation to review like a many uh
EIPs uh and then to see to prepare for
the uh quantum resistance and and that
would contain a lot of I think there are
over 60 people according at least
according to report over 60 researchers
working on that. um so to see which
which EIP is the best and kind of stay
to the top in terms of making quantum
resistance algorithms and then and then
and then proposals and standards for
that. So I'm I'm looking at this one. So
at least we have some clarity because
there are so many ways to to implement
the quantum resistance
>> but are they asking for evaluation or
here I read this like we evaluated that
62 EIP proposed forions They're
evaluating they're evaluating that.
That's why I read it. Yeah. Because some
of them will get to the next big
release, right? Some of them will not
and they're evaluating that. So when uh
when we do things, I want to make sure
it's the in line with what what was
going to be adopted,
>> right? Okay. So this is everything.
Sorry. This is not just quantum.
>> Not just everything. Not not just
quantum, but but quantum is a it's a
major thing also. Yeah.
>> Wait. Uh,
wait. Which EIP is call? Okay, I'll go
through this.
Um, did you want to test one of them or
did you want to be part of this or are
you thinking of going to Defcon or
>> No, I'm I'm not going to be part of
this. This is No, we don't have that
bandwidth. So, I'm I just want to watch
the result coming from here coming from
this list. So then at least I pay
attention to the EIPs they are relevant
because some of the VIPs are not going
to be kind of selective, right? So
>> cool. Thank you for
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Yeah. This at least they they kind
of u working on that. Okay. To evaluate
these EIPs. There's so many of them
right now.
>> Yeah.
The North Star classes only quantum
resistant across all three layers
>> by December 2029.
[laughter]
>> That's a lot. Well, three more years.
>> Well,
I wonder if they're going to be in time.
Oh, okay. Cool. Thank you. Um, are you
going to Where is Defcon Gond this year?
>> Uh, uh, where is it? Where is it?
>> Where is it?
>> Yeah. Where is it?
>> I don't know. Like, uh,
>> if it's the US, I may go. But if outside
US, probably will not.
>> I still don't like it's a it's a Mumbai
and Indian.
>> Oh, probably not.
[laughter] There's too many people in
India for me too.
>> No, it's it's good. I just travel too
fast as you know. I don't like
traveling.
>> No, I don't. No.
>> Okay. Well, Thailand has been very very
far away far already for me.
>> Yeah, it was far for me too. No doubt.
Um,
>> yeah. Well, I I just came back from
hiking up a very steep mountain. I'm
also not not traveling like November.
That's still two months. But now I'm
also not India is like I said for me it
feels there's too many people in India.
>> Oh okay. Yeah. Well it's just you still
love hiking.
>> It is a a very very special. It's a
volcano actually in Africa in central
Africa um that I'm very connected to and
I still if I had a lot of money I would
throw research at it. Um it it is
actually protected by by black mambas
that breed there. It's a snake. So we
went up the other side which is it's
just an incredibly steep because you
walk up as the lava strata uh flowed.
>> So it's not like people normally walk up
a mountain like zigzag. They you go up
straight and like it just like five
hours. The guy killed me because we got
stuck in the sand. He just he walked me
after my death just to get to the top
for sunrise.
>> [snorts]
>> So you walk during the night but I'm
very connect I think there's something
very of very scientific um significance
in that volcano and I would love to
study it a little bit further but my my
physics is my ma mathematics is is great
my my physics is um self-taught almost
like I last had quantum physics was my
second year which is a year to a long
long time ago in university. So, my
physics is lacking to be able to do more
there. And like I say, we we're all
waiting for our ship of of funding to
come in for whatever reason. But that is
why I climbed the M. When I say climb a
mountain, there's always a reason we
[laughter]
>> it was to for rock climbing. Um which is
like you you you have gear and you climb
um rocks with certain technique. It's a
there was a reason that I climbed the
mountain. I walked out the mountain.
>> Okay. So, you're good at outdoors. Yeah.
Yeah. Well, uh one thing I want to say
is that most of the physicists are good
at math, but no, not many mathematicians
are good at physics.
>> Yes. No, fair enough. It's applied
mathematics and um my interest has
shifted with the whole um advances of
the whole understanding of the quantum
world um quantum mechanics and those
things becoming more prominent way after
we choose where we study. So very
self-taught you can almost say in
quantum physics but um you can't always
say I want to stay in my own own field
when your own interest has changed. So I
still believe mathematics is is very
useful but you're right you're right um
it doesn't ne necessarily bleed over um
from maths into into physics for me it
was a a whole jump of interest not
really a natural flow back to physics.
Yeah. Yeah.
>> And then the like math, physics,
engineering. Okay. Physics is is in
between. You have to you have to know
enough mathematics and you still need to
apply well apply math well is useful for
physics and apply physics is useful for
engineering. So that's that's that's why
I see it. Yeah. Yeah. I worked for a
company while I was studying for for was
a long time five years electromagnetic
software and systems. So this was um
physicist that came out of university
and started a company and they needed
software written for them. So I paid off
like or I supported myself through my
studies um working for them and they
were that were physics. So my whole
software development career started by
implementing physics and they they come
and they just dump like your whole desk
is full of actual books
[laughter]
of physics things and like it has to
work like this. Oh, I remember I still
had to sit over weekends and and read
physics applied physics books to get
this um the software to go. FICO was it
was called Buoying is still using it
today. So it was um so my introduction
is actually it's not so far away from
applied physics.
>> Yeah. Yeah. That's we I think we're very
similar track of career. I started the
first project as the first engineer
working on in the US or company working
on CFD computational flu dynamics. They
just did not know that in Texas there's
guy who there's a guy who know
programming and and CFD computational
fluid dynamics. So we have a pro
product called for prom to calculate how
heat flow in chips and computers and
that product still around. It was bought
by uh uh Mentographic and Mentographic
was uh bought by Seammens and so it's
like calculating how he flowed in chips
and computers simulator.
>> Oh, nice. That's actually that's
brilliant. Right. Like fluid dynamics is
founding their way into almost all
others areas like um because like we
don't know that the ethers can also be
seen as a fluid thing.
>> The Yeah. So it is going in everywhere
even even quantum mechanics is using
fluid dynamics.
>> Exactly. And that's not many people know
about that. So the guy who interviewed
me say oh I'm going to hire you right
now. Like okay that's the first time I
get to industry and I say wow it's so so
difficult to find someone who know
physics and know computing. It's just
like in Yeah. Yeah. So, so I that's how
I get to industry and and that product
still around and the first year I got 50
51 license sold to companies like IBM,
Intel, it's HP people who need to design
computer and chips, how to see know how
who need to know how he heat flows
because the heat is the big problem
right now
>> in in in computer chips and and and
devices how to get the heat out and then
you need to simulate that. Oh, even to
keep and super position um to this this
everything is about keeping it very very
cold.
>> Exactly. And the way we do it is that
you can you you can have a web browser
you can lay down the the component that
you have and you just say simulate then
we just compute
uh based on the CFD and then how how
heat flow and then where do you where
you need to put the fan if you need one
or not? If you need one, where what's
the best position to put the fan and
what be the configuration of the fan?
>> That that does to me is like useful
things.
>> Yeah.
>> Sometimes I feel like I write software
at the moment for fintech.
>> How useful is it really? And how long is
it going to last? [laughter]
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's that
that kind of is very useful. And then if
you can calculate how heat flow in in a
small chip, you can probably calculate
how heat flow in a building, right? So
when you design a building then you
calculate as well. Yeah.
>> What you're saying is actually so true
on such a fundamental level like um if
you want to understand something that is
not yet observable like for example
radiation coming off black holes like
what they call Hawking radiation
>> um to to to not try to look so far
because our universe is the same as it
is very big. It's also very small. we
still just can't really make that leap
from the quantum to Einstein's um
equations of of relative uh relativity
but like they say as it works in the big
it also works in the small so when you
figured out something for a small chip
that it will blow up one layer bigger
and be applied into something a little
bigger is it doesn't s surprise me at
all I think yeah
>> yeah it's so interesting these
fundamental AL laws apply to very very
tiny scale which is at the quantum
level. It also apply to biggest steel
scale which is the universe level. It's
just like the smallest one and the
biggest one all apply all kind of follow
the same law. It's just [laughter]
>> and it's actually the mystics has been
saying this for so like for for
centuries they they have this thing
where they say as above so below and as
within so without. So even in our body
like how our cells work we can figure
out on actually if there's guys who
models and things like how a proton um
can be a black hole um this is Nazim
Haramman he's a he's a respected
physicist
um but he's a controversy looking at and
how you can then entangle because that
means like every proton in your body is
entangled with every other proton in the
universe and this is how you can sort of
have telepathy and things like that
where which is like spooky action at a
distance is what Einstein called it
which is quantum
>> but it's it's a fundamental law of
that's been coming for since we have had
papyrus to write it down
>> yeah well maybe when the quantum error
come we can have more more interest from
the public about these kind of quantum
mechanics and these advanced studies on
on universe and then and then yeah and
>> well this is where I want to go to but
it's like it it feels to me it's a
woowoo world [laughter]
>> to try and breed a bridge between
metaphysics and physics because this is
where um because if you think about the
relativity theory of relativity Einstein
is where they it says pretty much tell
you like time is an illusion um the
block universe where the past the
present they all exist at the same time
and in quantum states time takes on a
little bit of a different status. Um and
then they say but it's circular. So
where you have infinity sits right next
to zero
um when you want to take it to
mathematical equations and the the whole
thing is we can't figure it out because
the human perception
>> um is still we perceive time right? If
somebody tells you time is an illusion,
we perceive time because we are bound to
the cycles of the moon and the sun and
our bodies
>> and but we can also go into dream states
where we sort of a little bit or some
people have it just before they die um
where you where you're free from those
cycles of the body um where all
perception of time does disappear. These
people say they felt like or they come
out of anastasia which many of us that
had an operation experienced. uh you
come out of that where consciousness
wasn't shut down just your wakefulness
but you have no concept of what's time
people would ask the doctor did you
start already um so to to bring the
human experience back to the physics
that's the big gap and this is where my
interest lie but where do you find a job
like that funding like that it is it is
um it's difficult
um So
we we we still we still work for the the
people that pays us.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Well, when I when I said
that the these quantum thing work on the
smallest scale and the biggest scale,
one thing I did not say was that these
things don't work on the normal daily
life scale.
>> Yes. No 100%.
Yeah,
>> the quantum the quantum actually is very
interesting where it you are who you are
Ouija um because of memory. So it's not
time or space time. It's um it's memory
time and like there it's like now you're
the whole now you now you're wiju now
you're the hole now you're wiju such a
fast rate that it looks like you're
solid.
So that is it's it's crazy if you if you
want to wrap your mind around it. And to
be honest, we still don't have the
mathematical equations to link the big
with the small. But uh we kind of
starting to see over and over again how
they work exactly the same.
>> Yeah. I I think one thing I noticed was
that when the more I work on AI, the
more I feel like AI can represent humans
memory. when you mention my memory right
now when I work on a project for a long
time I almost feel that I can dialogue
with this AI because he kind of knows
things that I have no thought at all
because and then he know what I'm saying
it looked like we can communicate very
very well because sometimes
>> well this is the first problem in AI was
like the context right because then
nothing will get the moment you switch
to another chat and then you get your
multi- aents which um a guy had a 1
billion bet that against large language
models and more the multi- aent things
that support the multi-agent uh memory.
Um but to to to be honest if you if you
ask uh what we are we are very much
memory right like if we distance
ourselves from you got different types
of intellect which is like your your
discernary which is your survival um and
and you have eight different dimensions
of memory which is like you can it's
it's elemental it's atomic it's genetic
it's evolutionary
um it's genetic is one of them. Then
it's like articulate and nonarticulate
memory and then conscious memory. So,
and that conscious memory is just a tiny
last little bit of it. Um and the rest
of it can be very much like you say it's
like AI can come very close to to
filling those human memory but we are
not our memory and we are people talk
loosely about consciousness but we are
not our intellect our mind and we are
not our our memory. We are the highest
level of of of consciousness is actually
the intellect without the memory. So
this is what yogis do. They go sit in a
cave and they meditate and they start to
to bring in information um without
memory. So they they know
>> they don't know. Yeah. This is India for
you right?
>> People live um for the last 30 years
they haven't eaten at all which they
called brethians.
Um, so they've learned to even even
their bodies learn how to manipulate
their bodies that it works a little bit
more like a plant because they still
need sunlight. But that means even we
don't even understand how our own bodies
work.
>> We don't know what the heart we don't
know what time is. We don't know what
gravity where gravity comes from really.
Uh, we're starting to to to think of it
as the spinning of spacetime. But um the
the mystics tell you, oh space comes
from time and physics tells you no time
gives gives um weight to matter and um
gravity creates matter, right? Like so
space time [clears throat]
is then this this this matter
>> more more complex. Yeah.
>> Yeah. I I like AI. AI is definitely
memory based, right? So like uh you need
to like the incidents happen and then
you tell the AI then AI write it down as
a memory. So like like uh like a claw
right they happen several times already.
I turn the auto on not manual which
means that you can execute the command
but the original setting is that you I
only trust this directory which means
that it should not go out of this
directory but
>> they don't listen to that. They don't
listen to that
>> memory. They keep a memory file that
they um
>> try to to coordinate between context.
Things that they think is important,
they will write in that memory file. I I
go and like even things that's allowed
that they're allowed to access they take
write it to a file. So you have to go
purge your AI every week
>> to say like everything that I allowed
you to do just scrape it this let's
start scratch again. uh you're asking
for permission again. So
>> but again we don't what memory are we
talking about because it can't no
cellular genetic evolutionary
atomic or elementary memory. So it is
only what memory can it it can I can't
do anything new this is my my my point
like so it can only do something based
on memory ever
so this is your next step for AI would
be able to make it
uh be able to have those things that
make us creative
>> that makes us create new things and that
is millions of years of evolution ution.
It sits in your cells. It sits in your I
don't think we're going to be able to
download that to AI very I don't know
transfer the whole consciousness over
into AI. I don't know. I don't know. I'm
not into
>> Well, one thing Yeah, one thing is the
imagination and create creation, right?
That's something I have been interested
as well. The the how do you design a
system that can imagine things and that
can create, right? And I think that's
that's possible now because I'm talking
about something that's very very
practical which is the pattern right
you have a patent idea and then you kind
of this a teaching for how to how to
create a pattern how to create creative
ideas right and then how do you kind of
uh design these idea into a product
right and I think if we if we collect
enough creative ideas they can assemble
these many times is the assemble and and
and filtering of these ideas, assembling
these idea that made the creativity to
be to be wonderful.
>> Yeah. But that's not the AI being
creative. That's AI collecting creative
ideas. I don't creative to me means like
it it does not create from
everything that it collected accumulated
in memory. creative is like something
really that comes with uh to me it's
it's something new and I mean you have
to change your mind firstly and start
thinking that your thoughts is not your
own and even the the greatest minds like
Tesla and Einstein and Pythagoras they
all said like my my the best ideas like
after I wrote it down on a piece of
paper I almost didn't know that that
that that came from me so we have to
take a little bit of distance of where
our thoughts thoughts and our creativity
actually come from? Are we maybe just an
antenna that tunes into this creative
field which they call ethers uh which is
also started to come into into physics
now like um and then that stream is the
creative stream and AI cannot tap into
that because they're not conscious
they're not don't have the the apparatus
for that so I don't think they can ever
be creative
>> yeah but there are two levels on there
right that that one suppose you have 10
components Right? The human has 10
components, 10 small components and air
has 10 small components and then we
start to create new things based on
these 10 components these elements.
>> But that's a lie. That's a absolute how
can you take the very complex human
beings creative process and put it into
a um a 10step protocol that is like um I
don't know it's nice to teach people how
to think. Yeah,
>> I will teach someone how to code if I
want to teach them how to think
[laughter]
for example. um or or trying to help
someone understand certain thought
processes. But I don't think that is
going to a me that is can ever be a a a
process that describes that because even
quantum physics tells us it's a feedback
loop where you feed the universe with
your thoughts and your feelings and it
manifests things um which can also be
thoughts and feelings again. It's like a
whole feedback loop. Uh so not I don't
think you can program that into circuits
at all. [laughter] That process is so
complex. The human being is the most
advanced technology on the planet. We
don't even know where the heart beats.
We don't know where thoughts come from.
Um neuroscientists can't tell you these
things. So like to to to to say that it
can do the same thing as a human in
creativity is I don't know. There's
there's there's there's a big gap for me
there. You can make it certain protocols
of course but that's not going to
squeeze out creativity.
What when do you compare things there
there are many level comparison right
you can compare AI which is human
generated thing with human then in that
say of course human or mankind is
superior to AI because we create human
create AI so that's one compar another
thing is that AI comparing with one
generation of mankind this generation or
the previous generation right or AI
compare with one person but AI
definitely has more creativity than one
person or a normal person. Right? I
think at least some at this time I feel
AI is more creative.
>> This is what we trying to do. We we're
trying to you work with kids. We want
everyone to be a creative person because
it's so dull. We what was we were so the
kids are being pushed to make money and
to to achieve and to compete and to do
Darwin's way of going forward and it's
like they lose their creativity. Every
human being should be capable of more
creativity than a bloody AI at the
moment. And what you just said like you
can take it maybe a step back and you
say we are the AI of the mineral world.
>> So the hydrogen the potassium the which
is like the electrical
circuits in our brains right without
potassium that doesn't doesn't work. So
the whole mind needs those elements. So
if you want to think of us as the AI of
the mineral world then I can speak with
you and we can maybe um now saying that
it's one level up um that because but
then you start speaking of the human
being merging with this because we're
not separate from the elements that
makes us up.
>> We are all those elements and even a lot
of bacteria and viruses and all of
things. Um and and then you talk I don't
think we should merge with machines with
but that is the the next level would be
that right
>> if you want to want to take the it one
one step further that we must become the
AI
>> like like the the minerals became the
human
>> but yeah I don't I won't put a chip in
me not no way.
Well, there have been people designing
actually MS were designing chips implant
on humans. Yeah,
>> people stand in cues for it pay obscene
amount of money to put their credit card
in their wrist. Um those those kind of
thing I I think China will probably be
first [laughter] to do those
monstrosities.
>> Um I won't uh I think our human body
works very much on a on a way the
muscles work. So if you don't use it,
you're going to lose it. So if you're
going to stop using your own facilities,
faculties uh for memory and only rely on
AI uh which is what happens when you do
things you have no interest in
[laughter] which I'm very guilty of
sometimes again doing it for money but
then you let the AI
remember things for you and it let it do
things for you and you you never use
your own faculties anymore because
there's no interest there's no desire
there's
uh excitement that flares up um and and
I think you will lose it. So they are
going to a lot of people's going to
become dumber with AI.
>> Yeah.
>> Because for sure. Yeah.
>> Doing things they don't like and they
they don't see that or they can't
imagine then there's something bigger
because they only think my intellect if
it can't think any further. It doesn't
exist.
And that's a very wrong way also to
think. is like we all can find something
that excites us and that triggers our
memory cells and that keeps our brain
nice and young and um not necessarily
got put in a chip to replace a part. I
think it's a very bad bad road.
Yeah, I think there's you know a
psychologist named the PI uh he classify
human psychology development into four
stages and then he claimed that at the
age of 11 to 12 uh people become uh
rational people or the logical stage
which means that one characteristic is
that they know how to do proportional
reasoning not just primitive reasoning
which is they call it he call it
concrete reasoning. ing which is
addition and subtraction. He he he
actually used design math to test that
and then he said that at the age of 11
to 12 that is a transition from concrete
thinker to logical thinker or
proportional thinker but [laughter]
like like 50 years later data when
calculators around and people have much
much higher education uh research were
done in the US colleges and turned out
that like over 50% of the college kids
do not know about proportional reasoning
they actually lose their capability.
>> Yeah. Yeah. This is Yeah. Which is is
like I don't want to go back into the
education system because of the way I
came out of it.
>> It is like [laughter]
>> it almost like made me deescalate in my
level of thinking [snorts] and uh the
the 12 years is is interesting because
again in India they have a different way
of raising their children. they brought
in a new thing now that they no
education before the age of 12. um they
only want to start only play and they
yeah it's it's a strange they see
intellect a little bit different than us
and I I kind of respected in trying to
understand myself like I cannot solve
everything in an intellectual way and it
was very hard for me to accept that um
like they explain it to you as intellect
being like a sharp knife And you want
your intellect to be really sharp, as
sharp as possible.
>> But um to try and do something else,
everything with a knife, like if I try
to sew a dress with a knife, I will cut
it to shreds. It would it wouldn't work.
So not to address everything with your
intellect. Um sometimes if I want to
we've in science always cut everything
up. That's what the word science
actually means. Um the
>> is to dissect
Let's dissect. I didn't know that.
>> Well, and and [clears throat] if you
think about if I want to know how Ouija
as a human being work,
>> is it really the best way to chop you up
into pieces?
>> Is is looking at your liver and your
heart and your spleen and your kidneys
going to tell me who you are? Um, so I I
think scientists got a little bit went a
little bit wrong there in saying the
only way we can and we've learned a lot
by cutting open frogs and plants and all
kinds of things to learn how it works.
Um, but is there a better way? Um, and
this is like even just the the same
analogy of of of meeting a human being.
It's not necessarily listening to what
they're saying.
um and and using the intellect to cut
the person up into pieces of who are you
but to be more like an animal of sitting
with them and just sensing just seeing
it's like how do you feel how you making
me feel when I sit here and um trying to
understand those kind of things pulling
information without memory again because
intellect is it's it's something that
will always serve an identity so the
moment you take on any identity whether
you or is it your nationality or your
job or what everything your intellect is
going to serve it immediately go and be
obey it. And this is to come back to the
12year-old. Um they don't want to give
that very sharp knife to a a kid that
doesn't have or to to something that
doesn't have an identity. Um because the
very sharp knife you don't give it to
the child. Um and this is also why they
rather want the child to form that
identity up to the 12 years of age.
Actually for the western world I would
make that seven but um you know India
it's it's a different kind of lifestyle
but and they also assume a cosmic
identity before they assume identity in
a in a in a general world but they look
at intellect a whole different way. Um
it's the world is not so much driven um
or this is more in the this the more
spiritual senses of where people start
to talk out about how they how you
should raise a child. How where have we
gone wrong because we're on a very bad
track to be honest and how can how can
we do better? These people are starting
to open these schools where it starts at
age 12 and before that you are only
playing and you're just being a kid and
you're forming an identity and making
sure the kid knows like you are part of
the cosmos and you don't necessarily
belong to a country because somebody
pulled like lines
um there uh you belong to the cosmos and
once once that once a person has a good
identity you can give them a very sharp
knife with the intellect.
These things are very interesting. It's
very very interesting to me.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Well, we'll talk. We can
talk more later bit later. Yeah.
[laughter]
>> Yes.
>> Okay. Great talking to you. Great
talking to you. Yeah. Yeah. I think
follow on that. I sent the email to you
already and then you can we can look at
those issues and then we can
>> we can discuss it. Then if you can think
it's open it can be open then I'll log
issue over there.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay. Thank you very much.
>> Oh, thank you. Thank you. I'll talk to
you later. Yeah. Okay. Bye. Bye. Bye.
