You should try advertising in one of those car trading magazines. Those things fly off the rack.

That might end up attracting the dragons loving cars contingent though. I'm trying to attract mostly high minded people first and foremost. It's ok if they are into cars but if that's their main thing I'll just let it trickle down.

Good news everyone! I have assembled the following information!

I'm told that the thing I would need to make my obsession possible (encrypted consciousness | neural nets are capable of consciousness), is a form of differential privacy based on some unknown encryption method that is homomorphic under a desired set of relu "actions". I am also told this is a problem of algebraic or arithmetic geometry though, which is very hard and would require Top Mathematicians to work on it, who are all currently working on P=NP. I have no idea what most of this means. How do I learn more about this and/or encourage others to work on it?

Class field theory is apparently required for this

Random things people have said to me:

quote:

yes, lots of statistical things can be computed fully homomorphically
[2:45 PM]
any statistical thing that runs on linear transformations
[2:45 PM]
regressions, pca, etc
[2:46 PM]
very simple neural networks are probably also linear transformations

quote:

im scanning recent literature and it looks like a lot of the popular things like sigmoid functions have been admitted into some reasonable-looking encryption methods, like encryption based on conjugacy

quote:

there's a concept of a physically uncloneable function in hardware security


quote:

"Okay! So, a few things.

Modern day artificial neural networks, as used in image recognition, don't try and approximate brains. A better way to think of them is as a series of matrix operations. Very simply, they receive inputs of the form of a 2D array (in the case of images), and this 2D array goes through a series of mathematical operations based on weights the network has "learned".

Homomorphic encryption is type of encryption that allows you to encrypt something, do math on it, and then decrypt it and have that math be preserved. So if I encrypt 4 and 5, then add the resulting ciphertext and decrypt, I'll get 9. So if I want to encrypt a neural network I can do something like encrypt the weights and input homomorphically, do all the math on them, and then decrypt the results.

The issue with this is that homomorphic encryption either limits the type of math operations you can do or takes a million years. Unfortunately, modern neural networks rely heavily on neural activation functions, one of which is called a 'relu', all of which are not easy to run on encrypted data.

If you want to understand more about this I'd just start with googling stuff about neural networks and homomorphic encryption. I know in the mid 2015s there was some buzz about running neural networks that were encrypted, but I don't think anyone in industry ever did anything with it.

What is it specifically you want to advocate for? I'm also curious what you mean by "neural network capable of consciousness"

New picture. Scene from near the end of Liber Perturbatio. Peter the dragon is having a psychotic break at an inopportune time, ranting about the "rider with a bow" from the book of revelation. Johnathon Programmer, who is pissed at him for the events of the game up until now, breaks his bow
