Description
Wax philosophical with us as we discuss why we are doing this and what impact HTM technology could have on humanity.
You should have some background in HTM before understanding these videos. See http://numenta.org/htm-school/ for more videos explaining basic HTM theory.

A
B
A
Store
information
indefinitely
about
anything
else.
Well,
we
can
also
see
inches
long
yeah
that
with
the
internet,
another
big
big
deal
for
our
communication.
So
now
we're
faced
with
this
problem,
where
data
is
everywhere
and
we're
writing
information
on
biological
systems
everywhere,
and
we
don't
have
any,
we
don't
have
a
collective
biological
processing,
power
or
technological
processing
power
to
understand
any
of
it.
So
when
we
do
create
these
systems
that
are
able
to
understand
our
world
better,
real
general,
more
general
type
of
that
artificial
intelligence,
what
is
that?
A
B
B
A
B
You
know
you
know
there
were
only
species
in
those
with
exists
on
a
budget
plan
right,
so
that's
really
just
recently
yeah
well,
so
we
have
a
system.
At
this
point
we
have
a
system
for
discovering
the
structure
of
the
world
and
because
of
communications
and
tool,
building
right
now,
which
comes
to
the
structure
of
things,
we've
never
experienced
directly
yeah.
So
we
are
we
anyway,
the
product
of
our
species.
That
unique
is
knowledge.
A
B
Was
certainly
will
be
gone
someday
and
what
are
we
leaving
behind
and
I
think
the
answer
is
we
will
even
going
up
we
our
goal
should
be
to
collect
knowledge
to
make
it
available
not
only
to
other
people
on
the
planet,
but
actually
maybe
some
people
who
come
along
after
we're
gone,
and
you
know
the
fact
we
lived
is
interesting,
but
not
that
interesting.
You
know,
dinosaurs
live
platypuses
lives,
you
know
doing
a
great
story
about
the
woolly
mammoths.
They
live
died
recently
in
Atlantis
fitting,
but
but
only
leaves
prison
haulage
and
so
either.
B
B
Or
I
would
do
know
the
purpose
of
you
know
the
only
person
I
could
think
about
why
we
should
really
care
that
we
should
be
trying
to
get
more
knowledge,
we're
trying
to
preserve
in
some
way
that
future
generations
of
inhabitants,
our
earth
or
future
life
life
elsewhere,
or
maybe
we
transmit
it
elsewhere.
But
knowledge
is
the
thing
that
matters
more
than
an
episode.
That's
the
only
common
global
they
can
have
beyond
just.
B
B
Yeah,
but
it
is
into
what
you
can
think
about
the
brain.
I'll
wrap
it
up
a
bit.
You
can
think
about
the
brain.
The
brain
has
discovered
a
system
that
extracting
a
model
of
the
world
through
interaction,
and
me,
that's
that's
what
we
were
talking
about
its
basic.
It
is
core.
What's
going
on,
they
say
well
learning
what
signal
coffee
cup,
what
is
up
to
do
anything?
The
same
mechanism
for
learning
the
features
of
a
coffee
cup
in
three-dimensional
space
can
be
used
to
learn
the
features
of
mathematic
properties
in
an
n-dimensional
space.
B
B
Is
one
of
these
I
learned
to
this?
This
reason
work?
Is
that
all
all
features,
if
you
will
want
to
call
them
that
also
the
some
sort
of
measures
quantities
world
has
to
be
in
our
brain?
It
has
to
be
put
in
the
context
of
a
of
a
an
allocentric
framework
right,
and
so
it
doesn't
have
to
be
a
three
dimensional.
B
I
don't
express
it
way.
Maybe
yes,
it
is
an
independent
to
my
body,
but
it
also
means
that
knowledge,
all
knowledge
is
location.
So
you
target
it's
hard
to
even
put
our
minds
around
this
bit,
but
it
the
destruction,
tells
me
this.
It's
just!
Well,
that's
going
waste
one's
way,
it's
work.
So
so
you
know
often
when
you
and
when
you
have
a
discovery
or
something
are
you
trying
to
work
on
some
problem,
a
scientific
problem
and
the
answer
comes
to
you
with.
B
Tandem
time
very
often,
that's
great
and
I
had
a
real
I
haven't
picked
him
up
in
this
paper.
Yeah
I,
remember
very
distinctly,
but
with
what
you're
doing
is
you're
sort
of
discovering
the
multiple
things
of
what
you
discovering?
What
the
shape
of
the
thing
is
that
they're
in
dimensional
structure,
you're,
yes,.
B
B
Autism
is
predicting
properly
and
bingo,
it's
all
working,
so
I
think
there's
a
general
nature
of
knowledge.
Even
great
abstract
knowledge
fits
in
this
a
more
after
this
is
all
we
got.
This
is
the
brain,
these
mantras
mechanism
we're
talking
about
further
or
it's
all.
There
is
I
mean
we
have
very
much
tension
about
motors
other
things,
but
it's
part
of
this
is
part
of
that
is
a
key
part
of
it.
So,
anyway,
that's
a
that's
kind
of
cool
thing
about.
Well,
that's
a
monthly
throughout
yeah
we
can
read
there
so.
