I think there's a sort of evolutionary-like algorithm happening at every bit or nap in the world. It's sort of adapting through this... process that we described in EAC. And I think maintaining this adaptation malleability is how we have constant optimization of the whole machine. And so I don't think I'm particularly, you know, an optimum that needs to stick around forever.

I think there's going to be greater optima. What do you think is the meaning of it all?

The why? Well, the why is thermodynamics. It's why we're here. It's what has led to the formation of life and of civilization, of evolution of technologies and growth of civilization. But why do we have thermodynamics? Why do we have our particular universe? Why do we have these particular hyperparameters, the constants of nature? Well, then you get into the anthropic principle, right?

In the landscape of potential universes, right? We're in the universe that allows for life. And then why is there potentially many universes? I don't know. I don't know that part. But could we potentially engineer new universes or create pocket universes and set the hyperparameters so there is some mutual information between our existence and that universe and we'd be somewhat its parents?

I think that'd be very poetic. It's purely conjecture. But again, this is why figuring out quantum gravity would allow us to Understand if we can do that.

I think we seek, just like an LLM seeks to minimize cross-entropy between its internal model and the world, we seek to minimize the statistical divergence between our predictions in the world and the world itself, and having regimes of energy scales or physical scales in which we have no visibility, no ability to predict or perceive. that's kind of an insult to us.

And we want to be able to understand the world better in order to best steer it or steer us through it. And in general, it's a capability that has evolved because the better you can predict the world, the better you can capture utility or free energy towards your own sustenance and growth.
