WM (Wise/White Mirror) meeting Tuesday September 7th 2021

The video records a live White Mirror community session on September 7 2021 in which the facilitator Alan, together with Professor Anirudh and a diverse group of participants (including Mario Sebok, Samantha, Ross, Johnny, Tim, and others), conducts a rapid‑fire, text‑only interrogation of an AI avatar named Lita, powered by a large‑scale OpenAI transformer model. The purpose is two‑fold: (1) to test whether Lita’s answers are generated by an autonomous model rather than a hidden human crowd‑source (e.g., Mechanical Turk), and (2) to explore the breadth of Lita’s knowledge and reasoning across a wide spectrum of topics – from technical details of the model’s training data, to philosophical questions about consciousness, soul, truth, ethics, and the future of humanity (singularity, brain‑computer interfaces, blue zones, longevity, SDGs). Participants pose dozens of spontaneous questions, often overlapping, while the facilitator types them into the chat and records Lita’s textual replies for later video overlay with voice and avatar animation. The session also surfaces practical concerns (model cut‑off date, factual accuracy, bias, inconsistency) and meta‑observations about AI behavior (pre‑training limits, context‑driven variability, lack of self‑learning). The meeting concludes with reflections on the endless nature of the inquiry, plans for post‑production, and a brief discussion of future topics to ask Lita.
Chapters
looking at in transmedia. So we've been exploring exponential technologies, how they're being very meaningfully impactful for humanity, and aligning it to the United Nations SDGs to see how could we really do our bit to explore, you know, contributing to some of that work. It's not been easy to sort of get into specific projects, but we've really tinkered with a lot of great ideas across, and we've manifested a couple of comic books, a VR experience called the White Mirror Hub, the connected experience with Brian where we've tinkered, and Ross who's really helped with bringing on amazing hardware manifestations. We've got a lot more stories, and Mars Girl is another one which Mario, Samantha, and Roy, who's not here at the moment, filmmaker. So we've got a very wide community of filmmakers, artists, a whole range of interesting people, you know, philosophers and technologists and many different. And of course, a lot of our root bases and close— I saw Christina there earlier. I was actually just on a big workshop with them and EXO Australia earlier for a couple of hours, talking about transforming Australia into the future. So Christina is the co-CEO of— and Lisa were both with me on another workshop, co-CEOs of SingularityU Australia, and they're part of global faculty there. So we've got a very close association and working relationship there with White Mirror. So anyway, without further ado, I'll pass it to Alan, who's got some really amazing— and he's done an amazing session with us on AI before, which has been recorded. We've got a lot of our previous recordings which can be shared with the people here. They're just not fully ready for for public, for the, you know, wider YouTube thing, but we do plan to take bits and pieces which can be curated better and edited for future use for wider public digestion. So yeah, welcome everyone. And Alan, do you want to take on?
Awesome, thanks so much, Professor Anirudh, and thanks for joining us today. I know that it was a bit of a challenge to get here. I appreciate having me for a second time as well in just a couple of weeks. The first one was so much fun, I probably should have done done this hands-on demonstration like we're going to do today the first time. But just to give you a bit of context about what I'd like to get out of today, Sam and I have often thought when we're talking with this AI, how can we be sure that there's not like Amazon Turk crowdsourced humans behind it answering questions? And one of the ways to kind of resolve that would be just to throw random questions at it as quickly as possible. Just for fun. So that's kind of my first angle of why I'm doing this. The second one is to have a greater breadth across a greater domain, greater domain of topics, greater number of fields, because yeah, we kind of need each other to use our imaginations. So I'd love to hear whatever you want to ask in terms of fun things or rigorous things that You don't have to be very serious. This is going to be a super casual one. It'll only show 5 faces along the side of the video when we patch it all together. But today you'll just see Lita's text responses. So if you weren't here 2 weeks ago, Lita is basically powered by the latest state-of-the-art AI out of a lab called OpenAI in California. It's huge. It's Some people have called it artificial general intelligence. Yeah, let's jump in. Couple of guidelines: the Emerson platform that we're going to be using that runs Laeta has some filters around politics and religion, and also asking it anything to do with its own body. So you can't ask how high are you or how much do you weigh for some reason. That would trigger the filters, and I'd prefer not to do that because I don't know what happens in terms of it throttling us or anything like that. To get the speed, like the end video, I would just like to kind of hear voices and see mouths moving to ask the question, and Lita will then be— after this, she will be on video giving her audio and video response. So keep that in mind when you're kind of seeing the responses. You don't need to read the responses out because Lita will be reading them out, and you also don't need to pause. I'm happy to kind of line this all up and we can put some gaps in if we need for Lita. Any questions before we jump in?
Just a disclaimer, are you gonna like call on someone and they'll do a whole bunch of questions and then call on some, like another one of us, and we'll do a whole bunch of questions? Or what's the format for the asking?
Well, yeah, good question, Ross. I was kind of thinking, do you remember those old lame drama games where you jump in a circle and kind of hold hands and close your eyes and you feel the energy of when you can jump up and speak? It would be fun to play around with this, and I don't mind if this whole session is, you know, measured as a failure and we can't use it. That's totally cool. But if you feel like it's your time to jump in and ask a question, do it. It'd be cool to have, you know, 20 different voices going at once just to get what I want, and then afterwards we can slow it down. And if there's any questions that you haven't asked that you want off camera or something like that, then, then let's do it that way. But yeah, whatever comes into your mind, please feel free to speak it out and I will be typing it in. Was there another question?
Just a disclaimer, this is being recorded and might be used publicly for the, for the broader audience. So those that are here are to be aware of that.
Okay.
Thank you. Oh, you know, I think it'll be interesting with us jumping in on each other. Obviously we have different voices, different timbres of voices, but it will, it will be interesting to see how that is interpreted by LITA. If we start like kind of talking over each other, like that'll be interesting to see what happens with that as well.
You want to push it?
Well, just to be clear, just to be clear on that one, Ross, we're only interacting with the text today, so hopefully you can see that screen popping up now. Lita's voice and video and avatar will be added later on. There are some technical limitations because it's 1080p video. There's technical limitations in how long it would take to generate her voice and video. So just today is just the text.
Oh, right. But I mean, just in terms of the voice recognition.
What I'm going to do after we finish this text is I'm just going to dump her text responses out to her avatar. So she won't actually have any voice recognition, she will just be reading the text. Does that make sense?
Oh, she's gonna be reading text that you type in?
She's going to be— right now she's going to be reading the text that you see on the screen. She can read that when we generate her avatar. She is going to be reading out her own text responses.
Yeah, but is she going to be— are we going to be speaking our questions and she's going to use voice recognition to understand what our question is?
I see. That would have been possible. We can actually do that with the Emerson mobile app, but I'm just going to type them in today. Gotcha.
That seems more clear.
Cool.
Thank you.
In post-production, you will add the video, right?
Exactly. Yeah.
Yeah.
Shall we just type in the questions or shall we speak the questions? So shall we type the questions in chat?
In chat, yeah.
Would that—
Might be better, right?
The concept was to— because this is going to be a final published video, was to be able to hear the voices and see the faces for the final YouTube audience. So they hear Professor Aniraj asking a particular question, then they see Lita responding, rather than just keeping it all as text. Does that make sense?
Yeah.
Great.
So do you, do you think that Do you think that the— that your transcription is gonna provide that kind of rapid-fire effect?
I hope so. Been warming up my fingers all morning. Absolutely. You can start us off if you like, Ross. That'd be fun.
Good.
Well, we'll start us off quite slowly. I've just done a video on 9 different AI platforms asking the same question, which is where Where is Atlantis?
Cool. So shall we start, Alan?
Like, absolutely happy for anyone to speak out their questions out loud, and don't wait until after someone else has given their question because they can all overlap each other. That's totally cool.

Just double-check. That's all right, we'll get back to it. I just wanted to make sure our screen is recording.
What is truth?
Hang on, girls.
Okay. Perfect.
It's a lie.
This was fun.
Awesome. Thanks, guys.
Another question I have is, can you lie to me?
Did we break it? No, no, we didn't break it. I just needed a pause.
We're having a pause.
Yeah, yeah, having a pause for my fingers and also just to, uh, check that screen recording of the Telegram worked okay, and it did, so we're all good. I just wanted to explain the green screen behind Telegram as well. That's so we can pull the background out of it later and just have the The messages float over her face. How's everyone feeling? Pretty good.
Surprised me that Elvis came first.
What was that one? Surprised about the Elvis answer? Yeah.
I think conversation about mechanical Turk doesn't hold up. It just doesn't. I don't think it could be possible.
There's no way humans could do this?
No, I like that she's a Blake fan.
There's no way that they can call up the facts quick enough. Even if you Google, I don't think you could really achieve it easily anyway.
Tim, I just wonder what, what your understanding is of the difference between a Google or a chatbot with this.
Uh, I mean, Google's pretty good at just recalling facts, and they've, they've tried to add a lot of stuff like it. Um, this one, from what I've experimented around, is it, it seems to take, um, a lot of context, uh, and there's this thing called a prompt which is really interesting where the context around what you're asking influences the previous history. So as you saw with one of the questions, you could ask it what was its favorite previous question. And based on what it builds up, I think that the ability to recall context is a big difference. Like if you ask Google, apart from what data they aggregate, They don't necessarily know what you previously asked. So a lot of it's about context, I think. I'm not sure if that helps.
Is that what semantics is meant— what is called semantic internet or semantic queries?
Yeah, the semantics, I think a semantic query is more the fact that we're speaking in direct English. I mean, my understanding of semantics may not be accurate.
These days we are able to basically map a brain to measure what's happening in the brain and capture certain emotions, record them, and put them on somebody else's brain and recall the emotions. I would be curious if this could be used to help artificial intelligence analyze what is in the map of a person feeling unconditional love, and whether or not AI would have a way of not just understanding it, but actually really feeling it, or at least discovering it, as it just said here. Because it says humans discover it, it is discovered awakened intelligence. So I hope that AI actually in this way somehow can discover unconditional love. It would make a big difference for the future.
So do you think that That, that she actually knows, you know, when she says that humans discover it, do you think that's the truth? I.e., you know, do we believe that the answers are the absolute truth?
I don't know. But if I would like an artificial intelligence to engage with me in a journey, then I will have to start from the conversation that I have with it.
Right?
So the conversation is a dialogue, and the dialogue actually explains where it goes.
Maybe it's creating new possibilities, you know, and giving new options and, and just widening the thinking so that you bring in a lot more diverse elements.
And what is exactly the truth? You know, most of the time when we are talking, we see the word truth in scientific But weren't those things established by us humans? How do we know that current understanding of truth in scientific is the right one?
So you're saying it's biased?
I like that question a lot, because, you know, if you look at history, truth often serves a purpose.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, it's to serve our current understanding or awareness of where we are, because that— because of the pandemic, You know, everybody's home. There were a lot of things human beings accessed that they didn't have time to do before. So now we are aware of, there were some fallacies in our understanding. So who's deciding what's truthful and what's scientific?
I guess where I was coming from is that, that, you know, she said that awareness is something that we discovered and How I interpreted what, what Johnny says is that, that, that is indeed what is happening, that we are discovering awareness. And so therefore, by measuring that, we can understand how we discover awareness and then transfer it to artificial intelligence. And I was just jumping in. Because it felt to me that now we know how to discover awareness, and I was just wanting to jump in because I just— I'm not quite sure whether I can express myself properly, but I've just got the feeling that we— a very crude analogy would be just to say the the SatNav system tells me that I have to go north, I will go north, and I will not use my own understanding and my own reasoning to check whether that is a credible answer. That's what I meant by truth. So just, it might be, if we are saying it is a possibility, how interesting and fascinating, let's find out whether that might be so. I just feel that we have the tendency to We as humans have the tendency to take, to take these things in a way as, as the truth. And that's what I meant.
We have to understand that this is dependent on the input it got and the database they have. Because we as humans use reality as the evidence towards the truth. You think there is no gravity, you jump off a cliff and you realize you're wrong. That's how we measure truth. We measure based on the evidence of reality. Now, this doesn't have the evidence of reality. It has the inputs of data, and that may not reflect reality.
Yes, but you also have to understand that the way it looks at data is different from the way we look at data, because what you see now is that AI is being used to analyze different situations and it comes with answers. But these answers sometimes are based on totally different sets of data and totally different logic that we as humans would use and even are able to understand. It is working. We have no clue how it is working. Therefore, you also cannot predict how it would work in certain different circumstances that we have not yet considered. So it brings in some kind of unpredictability. But then again, that is exactly what discovering is.
You know, I mean, that's what deep learning is based on, right? That you really try to go diverse and then you figure out all these touchpoints and build a new proposition around it, possibly.
I think that one of the interesting things about the dataset is that, Alan, I believe it includes Wikipedia, yes? And Wikipedia—
Yeah, that's about 4% Wikipedia.
Yep.
Okay. Yeah. And so it's, you know, the, the question about Wikipedia is already pretty interesting, that it's, um, you know, how something lands on and remains or not remains on Wikipedia in itself is a very interesting question. And Relating to truth itself.
Also, truth evolves in the context, because truth is basically— history is written by the victor, right? So truth is in the hands of the victor. And at the same time, scientific models, they keep evolving. So everything is always contextual. What is truth?
Yeah, it's relative, right?
That's why we, that's why we use reality and the feedback loop to get to truth. That's the scientific method. You apply reality and the feedback.
How do you implement this?
If your database doesn't evolve with reality in real time, which is the case here, it does not evolve to the base reality's feedback. It just revolves— responds to data that we input. Therefore—
I find that a very interesting point, but how does it apply to quantum mechanics?
Well, if I would tell you I know about quantum mechanics, I would be awarded a Nobel Prize, but I don't.
Yeah, so the interesting thing, the interesting thing is that it's a kind of a— it's kind of like a circle, a snake eating its own tail, because the interpretation basically determines the outcome. So how can you work with datasets in this way?
Well, you know, I think, I think it's, I think it's worth, um, taking Lita, um, at her word that her favorite philosophers are David Hume and John Locke. I mean, instead of just, you know, if we were to say, oh, that's, that's, that's a funny answer, that's an interesting answer, and just kind of like You know, ignore it, or we could actually go back to it and say, now wait a minute. Lita actually told us that her favorite philosophers are Hume and Locke. So can we derive some, you know, conclusions or assumptions about the other answers that we are receiving here based on her preferred— her favorite philosopher? And also, of course, favorite. You know, we don't have to get too much into what that means, but, um, I think it provides an interesting filter if we choose to, uh, utilize that.
One thing worth mentioning, Ross— What does like mean?
What does she mean with like?
One thing worth mentioning that might cover all of this at once— Is that she's pre-trained. She can't learn anything from what we're doing, and also her answers will change every time, or its answers will change every time, not to anthropomorphize it. So if I ask this same question— that's not the question, that's the answer. If we ask the same question, who are your favorite philosophers, just like I've done with Anirudh's, using slightly different wordings to get a result, we'll— we may get A few different interpretations.
Oh, like, like the musical question. Like, she threw out a couple of genres at first, and then the second time we asked her, she really went into the, uh, I think it was classical.
Hmm.
Let's ask that one again.
Okay.
Oh, okay, interesting.
It's quite inconsistent and it's probably only about 90% accurate. Go ahead, Sam.
I think this sort of phenomenon arrives out of the context thing, is that because you've already got a whole bunch of philosophers in the context above, it then Informs the new prompt of what are associated with the previous, and maybe that's why instead of using the same, it diverges to give, uh, similar.
Alan, could you type define bias?
Absolutely.
Here is what comes up. I'm gonna try that twice.
Yeah, we can do that. If anyone's got super complex language in their question, um, I'd welcome them to paste it into the chat but then read it out. Then I'll be able to copy and paste it. I'm happy to type, but I know that some people have very specific words, um, or language, so welcome to do that as well.
And I wonder, um, if, if defined bias, they're like It seems like perhaps there's certain things that are just going to get, you know, referred to like a dictionary.
Yeah, that's more like a Wikipedia or a dictionary type of thing, right?
Yeah, I, I mean, I just find it really— so, no, I'm not tired, I'd better go to bed now. Um, that's really interesting. I don't know whether you spotted that.
Yeah, I was wondering about that.
Alan, just on that one, could you type what is the relative Scale of bias.
How many people are speaking to you at this moment?
You saw Lucy.
You mean her?
No, actually, that's a question that's asked in that movie Lucy. How many people are speaking to you? At some stage, The human is getting a little bit jealous or wondering how important he is to the AI.
Oh wow, sounds exactly like her.
Losing ball.
True.
Lies.
Interesting.
So yeah, and in the last session we talked about the neural network and how it might be compared with a stochastic parrot or even compared with your phone's predictive text stepping through the next likely word. And that, of course, can change.
Did I ask her, like, how does she know her answers are correct?
You and Google. YouTube, it found it.
Oh yeah, that's what I heard. She described herself as a chatbot there.
Are you a chatbot?
Yes, this is what I also am wondering about. So if she doesn't crawl the web, then how does she have all the information readily available in her system to interpret?
This is the magic of transformers. So she's been pre-trained on— she is a neural network which is making about half a trillion connections between half a terabyte of data. That data is from New York Times and patents and academic journal articles and books and a little bit of Wikipedia. So it's already made its connections, been pre-trained on the connections between those datasets, and what we get is what you're seeing now.
What are the most valuable public domain patents, uh, coming to public domain this year?
Knowledge also stops in 2018, 2019, so I'm not sure what we'll get.
Okay, in 2019.
Will there be COVID next year?
No, about COVID either.
Or SARS COVID. SARS. There's another name for COVID. It's SARS-CoV-2.
Oh, I love the answer.
Yeah, that, that answer about identifying a person is pretty creepy.
Yes. What about, will COVID ever go away?
Well, it's, it's— I just want to point out that it says, um, It says, I am a chatbot. And it's just— I think it's interesting that you wrote, are you a chatbot? And then it said, yes, I am a chatbot.
Are you a monkey? Electronic monkey?
What will be the most important result of this new patent for the world of tomorrow?
Yes, I'm a very electric— interested.
Are you an electronic parrot?
Is there, is there anything that you do not know?
I am human.
How will humans manage with the exponential speeds of the growth in singularity and AI?
Give me your top three predictions for the future.
Do we have?
Do you have proprioception?
Will there be a future?
How can you tell if it is a question if I don't place a question mark?
Why did you take or choose this particular patent just now? What is the relevance of it for being the most important one? How it How will it affect our lives, or how it will affect the life of humankind?
What are your interests?
How many patents were filed in 2018?
How will this patent affect the way that humans interact with each other?
How will singularity impact the soul?
That's interesting, communication device.
How many patents are being enforced in USA today?
Do you mean there is no soul? Do you mean we have no soul?
Just our own existence.
What year was Elvis born?
What does bliss mean to you?
Why do you not believe in souls?
What is—
when was the Monkey King born?
Is Elvis human?
Is Elvis dead?
Why did you say that Elvis was older than the Monkey King if this conflicts with the two answers you just said?
Fantastic.
What's your favorite place in the universe?
What are the countries that declared independence today?
Where does Elvis live?
Earlier you said that Elvis was older than the Monkey King, but the Monkey King apparently, based on your answers now, is much older than Elvis. How do you explain this?
Which country declared independence on August 15th?
She did say she believes in ghosts.
What's your interpretation of a past When did the first fish came out of the ocean?
What day is today? Do you like sex?
What date is today and what is your nationality?
Is Elvis a ghost?
With the current pace of technology, should I still go to school in the normal way, or what should I learn?
When is Interdependence Day?
What do you mean by Elvis is not dead?
What's the best form of government?
If technology is helping humankind, should I still study technology or should I study human things?
Who declared Interdependence Day September 12th?
Is technology friend or foe?
What's your understanding of an exorcism?
What is SDG 18?
What do you like about your job?
Waffles or pancakes?
Hmm.
How long are we to singularity? What is the brain-computer interface that will be most widely adopted this decade?
When will the singularity happen?
If you don't believe in souls, what happens when we die? Yeah.
Will you die?
Will you die?
What's next for Neuralink?
There is a book that says that when you die, there is a final calcium explosion in the body, and that this is supposed to represent your energy blueprint. How do you see that? It's a calcium explosion.
Do you believe in past lives?
Are you saying calcium there?
Yeah, calcium.
Yeah, the mineral.
Yes, there's a movie about this as well. It's called, uh, I don't know how much exactly, but like 3.7 grams or something. It's like X grams, and this is representing the energy signature, the weight of the soul.
Yeah, yeah, so cool. All right, how's everyone going? Let me just grab that screen as well.
Will open water BCI be the leading brain-computer interface this decade?
Open water.
Open Water Wizard Hat.
I have not even heard of that one, Mario. That sounds cool.
Yeah, Open Water is good because it's non-invasive.
They're making some begin roads open water.
Very cool.
Well, it was always going to be a bit more wireless than drilling into the brain like Neuralink are doing. Just start up another screen recording so we're nice and safe. Do you want to either read that one out or type it in, Mario? Either way is cool.
Well, I'll type it in because it's quite complicated.
Yeah, on your own.
Would you like to go to Burning Man?
Sorry?
Oh, I said, would you like to go to Burning Man?
What can you tell about the 21 grams experiment?
When will humans be extinct?
You can make that happen.
What does Burning Man mean to you?
So what do you learn from that 21 grams study? What can you get from it and help us to understand? Not the one about the food, but the one about dying.
She got way lost there.
What does the 21-gram study teach you about the soul that you can help us understand?
Do you ever sleep?
Do you mean that the study was flawed?
How do you listen to music? How do you listen to music?
Can you explain why humans like music? Some people say it's related to the solfeggio frequencies.
I'll have to type that one in first, Johnny. I'll ask Mario. Do you want to read yours out, Mario, and I'll paste it in?
Will open water brain-computer interface be the wider adopted BCI this decade? How much is an open water BCI today cost?
Do you like soul machines?
When will we have 100% internet? Connectivity all over the globe.
What do you like about Soul Machines?
Is there an AI capable of watching movies?
What is a soul machine?
Will you ever be able to feel emotion? What emotion do you feel now?
What is the difference between understanding and feeling an emotion? Can a soul machine help you to feel emotion?
Can you explain how you feel joy?
Are you better than a soul machine? Because you said you can feel emotion, but a soul machine cannot.
Hi everyone.
Hi Anne. Hi Linda.
Thanks for joining us. Cheers guys. What's the next blue zone?
In which way are you different and better than a soul machine?
What are you alive?
Yeah.
What's beyond blue zones?
How can AI help to create blue zones?
