The Mindplex Podcast (Archive)
This is an archive for the original Mindplex Podcast, which wrapped up production in February 2025.
The Mindplex Podcast was hosted by Lisa Rein, Ben Goertzel, Grace Robot and Desdemona Robot. On this show, we pondered AGI, cutting-edge technologies and the evolution of human consciousness. We interviewed a wide variety of interesting thinkers - both human and synthetic - to investigate and better understand the complex topics of our time, so we could learn to shape technologies that will assist us in bringing about a Benevolent Singularity.
Subjects covered included: AGI, the Metaverse, Decentralized Economies, Superlongevity, Superintelligence, Nanotech and Femtotech, Psi, Psychedelics, Experimental Futuristic Art & Music, Robotics, Synthetic Biology, Quantum Computing, Consciousness, Brain-Computer Interfaces, Speculative Physics, Chaos and Complexity and anything else wildly interesting and mind-blowing.

Episode 25: Rachel StClair - Scalable AGI
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Simuli CEO Rachel StClair explains how holographic compression will vastly revolutionize data processing and the importance of using standardized protocols to pave the way for Superintelligent AGI and quantum computing.
Simuli is working on a new compression software that allows any data to be compressed into a holographic representation called a “Nebu” file. These Nebu files can be decompressed to reconstruct the pre-compressed data 100% flawlessly. It is data agnostic, verifiably lossless, and standardizes the data for direct computation without decompression.
Their holographic compression software allows direct computation without decompression. Computing in compressed form is more climate friendly AI, leading to 3x power reduction, massive reduction in memory requirements, and online processing prowess. These neuro-inspired learning algorithms leverage emerging hardware for fully autonomous, human understandable AI systems.
Opencog, TrueAGI and Simuli are collaborating on an OpenCog pattern matching chip.
About Rachel StClair:
Rachel St.Clair is an AI scientist and entrepreneur who after receiving her PhD in complex systems and Brain Sciences and went on to co-found the AGI hardware company Simuli (https://www.simuli.ai/), making processors that use advanced math and an innovative hardware layout to process more information per transistor by compressing information before processing. Rachel envisions an AGI as a computer system which can outperform human abilities in nearly all tasks while helping humanity avoid existential risks.
