   So, so there there is a minimum and not only that, it has to have a certain causal structure, right? And we can we can kind of debate that and that's really in line too with surl you know in the Chinese room argument which is like look a dictionary is not doesn't have understanding because it doesn't have the right causal structure. You have to have a certain causal structure or a certain minimum complexity and then you reach this whatever it is whether it's consciousness we're talking about understanding agency all of these things right so I guess my question to you is will we be able to buil…

   O'BRIEN (voiceover): But making robots as useful as they are in the movies is a big challenge. ♪ ♪ Most neural networks run on powerful supercomputers-- thousands of processors occupying entire buildings. RUS: We have brains that require massive computation, which you cannot include on a self-contained body. We address the size challenge by making liquid networks. O'BRIEN (voiceover): Liquid networks. So it looks like an autonomous vehicle like I've seen before, but it is a little different, right? ALEXANDER AMINI: Very different. This is an autonomous vehicle that can drive in brand-new envir…

   Um, and I'm now remembering that I forgot to mention a Neil Seth in the list of people not to upset when reviewing theories of consciousness. So this is an opportunity just to say that there are people out there who would say well you know okay you can write down the maths of all this and you can write down in a screen hypothesis or indeed simulate global neural workspace theories and and and um try to produce um things that look as if they have consciousness. Um that's not going to work unless you actually embody it. Unless you are in a Neil's words a beast machine. Um I think that that sort …

   And the bloodb brain barrier prevents the simple passage of most larger molecules, special transporters to get certain amino acids and other chemicals into the brain that are essential for the brain. But again, just providing more of a precursor in the general body circulation does not guarantee that you'll have a higher concentration of that in the brain. And then even after you pass the bloodb brain barrier and get to the cells that are making whatever neurotransmitter, there's one last big cat and that is related to what's called the rate limiting step. And I'm going to jump back and use an…

   And I also realized that, uh, you needed more memory and, uh, you needed a higher processing speed, but I was also very confident that this was coming along because I saw the speed at which computing developed. And, uh, so to me, this time until we had electronic brains and so on, uh, couldn't come early enough. I thought this was a really exciting time to be alive. I was very glad to be born in that generation. I want to differentiate between couldn't come soon enough. and still might take longer than my lifetime. Um, so, for example, in my case, you know, the question was whether, how long M…

   An interesting question to ask, before we address these claims directly, is whether we should suppose that intelligent creatures from some other part of the universe would necessarily be able to do these things. Why, for example, should we suppose that there must be something deficient about a creature that does not enjoy—or that is not able to enjoy—strawberries and cream? True enough, we might suppose that an intelligent creature ought to have the capacity to enjoy some kinds of things—but it seems unduly chauvinistic to insist that intelligent creatures must be able to enjoy just the kinds …

    But on the other hand, if you need another cubic inch of brain to fix the bugs in the other part, then the evolutionary advantage of being smarter had better make you able to catch a little more food per hour. And so each person is an ecology of these different processes. And the brain reached its present size about a million years ago, I guess. What's the current guess? Anybody been track-- they keep discovering new ancestors of humans and I don't have the patience to read about them because you know that next week, somebody will say, oh, that isn't in the main line and you were just unlucky …
