I'm really struggling with randomness because I had a really good argument with Yasha Bark about randomness. And he said, randomness doesn't give you free will. That's insane because you'd just be random. But I think, and I think he's right at that level. But I don't think we, I don't think he is right on another level. And it's not about randomness.

It's about, it's about constrained, I'm going to sound like, constrained opportunity. I'm making this up as I go along. So making this up. Constrained opportunity. So what I mean is like, so you have to have, so the novelty, what is novelty? You know, this is what I think is a funny thing. You ever want to discuss AI?

Why I think everyone's kind of gone AI mad is that they're misunderstanding novelty. But let's think about novelty. Yes, what is novelty? So I think novelty is a genuinely new configuration that, that is not predicted by the past, right? And that you discover in the present, right? And that is truly different, right? Now, everyone says that some people say that novelty doesn't exist.

It's always with precedent. I want to do experiments that show that that is not the case. And it goes back to a question you asked me a few moments ago, which is, where is the factory? Yeah.

right because i think the same mechanism that gives us a factory gives us novelty and i think that that is that is why i'm so deeply hung up on time i mean of course i'm wrong but how wrong and i and i think that that life opens up that commentarial space in a way that the the

Our current laws of physics, although as contrived in a deterministic initial condition universe, even with the get out of the multiverse, David Deutsch style, which I love, by the way, but I don't think is correct. But it's really beautiful. David Deutsch's conception of the multiverse is kind of like given.

But I think that the problem with wave particle duality and quantum mechanics is not about the multiverse. It's about understanding how determined the past is. Well, I don't just think that actually this is a discussion I was having with Sarah about that, right? She was like, oh, I think we've been debating this for a long time now about how do we reconcile novelty, determinism, indeterminism.

uh i'm i won't speak for sarah but i roughly can't i i think that the universe i think the universe is deterministic looking back in the back in the past right but undetermined going future going forward in the future so i'm kind of having my cake and eat it eating it here this is because i fundamentally don't understand randomness right as yasha told me or other people told me but if i adopt a new view now which um
