Summary

Levi McClean discusses various topics related to music, sound, and artificial intelligence. He explores what makes a sound scary, the intersection of art and technology, sonifying data, microtonal tuning, and the impact of using 31 notes per octave. Levi also talks about creating instruments for microtonal music and using unconventional techniques to make music. The conversation concludes with a discussion on understanding consonance and dissonance and the challenges of programming artificial intelligence to perceive sound like humans do.

Takeaways:

• The perception of scary sounds can be analyzed from different perspectives, including composition techniques, acoustic properties, neuroscience, and psychology.
• Approaching art and music with a technical mind can lead to unique and innovative creations.
• Sonifying data allows for the exploration of different ways to express information through sound.
• Microtonal tuning expands the possibilities of harmony and offers new avenues for musical expression.
• Creating instruments and using unconventional techniques can push the boundaries of traditional music-making.
• Understanding consonance and dissonance is a complex topic that varies across cultures and musical traditions.
• Programming artificial intelligence to understand consonance and dissonance requires a deeper understanding of human perception and cultural context.

Part 2/2 of the interview with Brit Cruise, creator of the YouTube channel "Art of the Problem," about interesting mathematics,, electrical and computer engineering problems.

In Part 1, we explored what 'intelligence' may be defined as by looking for examples of brains and proto-brains found in nature (including mold, bacteria, fungus, insects, fish, reptiles, and mammals).

In Part 2, we discuss aritifical neural nets and how they are both similar different from human brains, as well as the ever decreasing gap between the two.

In this episode (part 1 of 2), I interview Brit Cruise, creator of the YouTube channel 'Art of the Problem.' On his channel, he recently released the video "ChatGPT: 30 Year History | How AI learned to talk." We discuss examples of intelligence in nature and what is required in order for a brain to evolve at the most basic level. We use these concepts to discuss what artificial intelligence - such as Chat GPT - both is and is not.

In this episode Gabriel Hesch interviews Taylor Sparks, a professor of material science and engineering, about his recent paper on the use of generative modeling a.i. for material disovery. The paper is published in the journal Digital Discovery and is titled 'Generative Adversarial Networks and Diffusion MOdels in Material Discovery. They discuss the purpose of the call, the process of generative modeling, creating a representation for materials, using image-based generative models, and a comparison with Google's approach. They also touch on the concept of conditional generation of materials, the importance of open-source resources and collaboration, and the exciting developments in materials and AI. The conversation concludes with a discussion on future collaboration opportunities.

Takeaways

• Generative modeling is an exciting approach in materials science that allows for the prediction and creation of new materials.
• Creating a representation for materials, such as using the crystallographic information file, enables the application of image-based generative models.
• Google's approach to generative modeling received attention but also criticism for its lack of novelty and unconditioned generation of materials.
• Open-source resources and collaboration are crucial in advancing materials informatics and machine learning in the field of materials science.
