So that one of the most fundamental change cheering points in my professional career happened about 10 12 years ago when I and some colleagues read Jeff Hawkins' book called On Intelligence, which is really the first thing that I read that made sense about a potential model of human cognition.

On Intelligence by Jeff Hawkins and Sandra Blakeslee is a groundbreaking book that presents a revolutionary framework for understanding human cognition by proposing that the neocortex functions primarily as a hierarchical prediction system. The book has profoundly influenced prominent thinkers and researchers in artificial intelligence and robotics. On This Week in Startups in October 2023, Geordie Rose shared that reading Jeff Hawkins's work a decade prior marked one of the most fundamental turning points in his professional career, providing the first model of human cognition that genuinely made sense to him. François Chollet similarly discussed the book on the Lex Fridman Podcast in August 2020, recalling how reading it around the same time as other theoretical texts left a lasting impact on his intellectual development regarding multi-scale views of the mind. Lex Fridman himself frequently referenced On Intelligence across multiple episodes of his podcast, including conversations with Dileep George and a dedicated interview with Jeff Hawkins in July 2019. Fridman used the text to explore the evolution of hierarchical temporal memory theory and to question how modern artificial intelligence architectures align with the book's foundational insights into brain-inspired computation. Across these discussions, speakers consistently acknowledged the work as a classic touchstone for anyone attempting to reverse-engineer the neocortex and build genuine machine intelligence.

“is it all just building on top of each other in terms of the higher level ideas especially the ones jeff wrote about in the book if you if you blur out right you know yeah on intelligence right on intelligence if you if you blur out the details”
“the following is a conversation with Jeff Hawkins he's the founder of the redwood centre for theoretical neuroscience in 2002 and Numenta in 2005 in this 2004 book titled on intelligence and in the research before and after he and his team have worked to reverse-engineer the neocortex and proposed artificial intelligence architectures approaches and ideas that are inspired by”
“so a few words to sort of put neural cortex outside of your book on intelligence you look if you wrote a giant tome a textbook on the neocortex and you look maybe a couple centuries from now”
“so let's take take step back to HTM the hierarchical temporal memory theory which you first proposed on intelligence and went through a few different generations”
