Biological Life-Extension is Not Enough

Randal A. Koene
Carboncopies.org

No one wants to live longer just to live longer.

Motivation informs Method.

Having an Objective, a Goal, requires that you
have some notion of success.

Creating (intelligent) machines that have the
capabilities we do not – is not as good as being
able to experience them ourselves...

Imagine... creating/playing music.
Imagine... being the kayak.

Imagine... perceiving the background radiation of
the universe.

Is being out of the loop really your goal?

Near-term goals: Extended lives without
expanded minds are in conflict with creative
development.

Gene survival is extremely dependent on an
environment – it is unlikely to survive many
changes.

Worse... gene replication does not sustain that
which we care most about!

Is CTGGAGTAC better than GTTGACTGAC?

We are vessels for that game – but for the last
10,000 years something has been happening!

Certain future experiences are desirable, others
are not – these are your perspectives, the memes
you champion...

Death keeps stealing our champions, our experts.

Too early to do uploading? - No! The big
perspective is relevant now.

We don't like myopic thinking in our
politicians, let's not be myopic about world
issues ourselves.

Life-extension in biology may increase the fragility
of our species & civilization...

More people? - Resources.
Less births? - Fewer novel perspectives.
Expansion? - Environmental limitation.

Biological life-extension within the same
evolutionary niche = further specialization to the
same performance

“over-training” in conflict with generalization

Aubrey de Grey: Ultimately, desires “uploading”

Significant biological life-extension in
incredibly difficult and beset by threats.

Reality vs. popular perception.

Life-extension and Substrate-Independence are
two different objectives

Developing out of a “catchment area”
(S.Gildert) may demand iterations of
exploration – and exploration involves risk.

Hard-wired delusions and drives. What would
an AGI do? Which types of AGI would exist in
the long run?

“Uploading” is just one step of many – but a
necessary step – for a truly advanced species

Thank You

What is going to drive the next wave of ideas. How will they be created , what forms will they take ? People with new ideas tend to be both illogical and contradictory. New ideas are sometimes at odds with the stern disciplines of management. When it comes to generating ideas, the distinction between visionary genius and erratic behavior is not always clear. The creation of ideas is now the most important economic objective. It will be used to better the human condition in unimaginable ways

Living Prototypes Fabricating Shared Experiences Abstract: Empathy is a type of thinking that makes us more helpful and generous in our encounters. But how can the design team, the client, and the user share a single, subjective experience? In this workshop we will be stretching the limits of prototyping. Storyboards, scenarios, sketches, and videos are helpful tools used to communicate the different elements of an experience, but they position the designer as passive. Using a range of multi-sensorial tools, participants will not be observers of an experience, but will be active co-explorers. Although these ideas are not new within the design community, we believe they have fallen out of focus. Experiential prototyping is not inherent in “design thinking,” but in what we see as “design action.” Innovation: Designing immersive, multi-sensorial experiences is no longer just for the benefit of end users. Experiences are a complex and subjective phenomenon—they go beyond the senses, and are influenced by a range of contextual factors like a person’s social circumstances, schedule, environment, perceptions, values, and more. Prototyping an experience can help designers, users, and clients explore and communicate what it is like to engage with the product, space, or system being designed. If designers and clients can share in these experiences, they are more likely to understand the issues and needs of their user.

Presented by Trevor Haldenby Introducing emerging trends in transmedia storytelling and participatory entertainment, the session will explore how new approaches to building story worlds, spreading story content across media, and engaging customers and audiences as co-creators can bridge the gap between science-fiction storytelling, scenario planning, and open foresight practices. These ideas will be explored using case studies of ByoLogyc, a transmedia future scenario, and DIY Days, a participatory design workshop series.

Tracing the root cause of a performance issue requires a lot of patience, experience, and focus. It’s so hard that we sometimes attempt to guess by trying out tentative fixes, but that usually results in frustration, messy code, and a considerable waste of time and money. This talk explains how to correctly zoom in on a performance bottleneck using three levels of profiling: distributed tracing, metrics, and method profiling. After we learn to read the JVM profiler output as a flame graph, we explore a series of bottlenecks typical for backend systems, like connection/thread pool starvation, invisible aspects, blocking code, hot CPU methods, lock contention, and Virtual Thread pinning, and we learn to trace them even if they occur in library code you are not familiar with. Attend this talk and prepare for the performance issues that will eventually hit any successful system.

Retrieval augmented generation (RAG) is the most popular style of large language model application to emerge from 2023. The most basic style of RAG works by vectorizing your data and injecting it into a vector database like Milvus for retrieval to augment the text output generated by an LLM. This is just the beginning. One of the ways that we can extend RAG, and extend AI, is through multilingual use cases. Typical RAG is done in English using embedding models that are trained in English. In this talk, we’ll explore how RAG could work in languages other than English. We’ll explore French, Chinese, and Polish.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/why-teams-call-analytics-is-critical-to-your-entire-business Nothing is as frustrating and noticeable as being in an important call and being unable to see or hear the other person. Not surprising then, that issues with Teams calls are among the most common problems users call their helpdesk for. Having in depth insight into everything relevant going on at the user’s device, local network, ISP and Microsoft itself during the call is crucial for good Microsoft Teams Call quality support. To ensure a quick and adequate solution and to ensure your users get the most out of their Microsoft 365. But did you know that ‘bad calls’ are also an excellent indicator of other problems arising? Precisely because it is so noticeable!? Like the canary in the mine, bad calls can be early indicators of problems. Problems that might otherwise not have been noticed for a while but can have a big impact on productivity and satisfaction. Join this session by Christoph Adler to learn how true Microsoft Teams call quality analytics helped other organizations troubleshoot bad calls and identify and fix problems that impacted Teams calls or the use of Microsoft365 in general. See what it can do to keep your users happy and productive! In this session we will cover - Why CQD data alone is not enough to troubleshoot call problems - The importance of attributing call problems to the right call participant - What call quality analytics can do to help you quickly find, fix-, and prevent problems - Why having retrospective detailed insights matters - Real life examples of how others have used Microsoft Teams call quality monitoring to problem shoot problems with their ISP, network, device health and more.

The microservices honeymoon is over. When starting a new project or revamping a legacy monolith, teams started looking for alternatives to microservices. The Modular Monolith, or 'Modulith', is an architecture that reaps the benefits of (vertical) functional decoupling without the high costs associated with separate deployments. This talk will delve into the advantages and challenges of this progressive architecture, beginning with exploring the concept of a 'module', its internal structure, public API, and inter-module communication patterns. Supported by spring-modulith, the talk provides practical guidance on addressing the main challenges of a Modultith Architecture: finding and guarding module boundaries, data decoupling, and integration module-testing. You should not miss this talk if you are a software architect or tech lead seeking practical, scalable solutions.

Dubai, often portrayed as a shimmering oasis in the desert, faces its own set of challenges, including the occasional threat of flooding. Despite its reputation for opulence and modernity, the emirate is not immune to the forces of nature. In recent years, Dubai has experienced sporadic but significant floods, testing the resilience of its infrastructure and communities. Among the critical lifelines in this bustling metropolis is the Dubai International Airport, a bustling hub that connects the city to the world. This article explores the intersection of Dubai flood events and the resilience demonstrated by the Dubai International Airport in the face of such challenges.
