The universe contains regions that allow for the complexity required to sustain the creation of minds like ours, which are tightly controlled and controllable. Attention plays a crucial role in this as it gets trained with the same mechanism as the feedback that keeps complexity stable around certain attractors.

Summary

This podcast episode discusses how machine learning systems are largely built on chains of weighted sums and non-linearity, and how understanding the human attention system is important for training these systems. It also touches on the idea that identifying with the machine means one is no longer fully human.
