This episode carries Mark Ring's own address, with nobody on the show putting questions to them. It still counts as said, and it is kept out of every score on their page.
Mark Ring, AI researcher and Cogitai co-founder, describes how forecast mechanisms allow artificial intelligence to scale from simple sensory inputs to abstract concepts.

“But critically, forecasts are an isolaminar mechanism, so you can use them layer after layer, from simple to complex. And this is possible because a forecast can make a prediction about another forecast. You can build forecast A to make one prediction, and then build forecast B to make a prediction about forecast A.”
