The brain is composed of distinct regions that specialise in specific tasks. It's reasonable to assume AGI would be the same. So the goal should be: we've created a "language module" (LLMs) and a "visual perception

I received CBT, and that's not my experience. Learning the thought patterns involved in these behaviors is different from learning the underlying skills needed to improve those behaviors. Just like reflecting on the thought patterns be

Paper says that for some kids, CBT and mindfulness can increase negative symptoms, or have no effect. Not surprising, because they don't address the fundamental issues. Why would mindfulness help with depression, better than teaching t

The article is a perfect encapsulation of our current cultural pathologies. The author pathologizes "manifestation". Well, is it pathological? No. It won't "affect the universe", or whatever, but it gets people to h

This is Dunning-Kruger. I'm glad judges don't declare someone guilty of a crime based on reading a (layman) dictionary definition. And American pathology has a tendency to spread to other counrties thanks to their overwhelming cul

You know it is, when Alex Jones-tier posts saying that a political opponent is "literally" a human trafficker are upvoted. But I suppose that's just a reflection of how pathological American discourse as a whole has gotten.

Excellent points have been raised in both the article and the comments (especially the reliance on a single advisor; that's trouble). But one thing that no one is addressing, is the fact that a much of the reproducibility crisis is cau

Yeah. I don't trust Gary Marcus, and I don't know why the media buys into his persona. Gary Marcus features a Forbes story in his Twitter bio, "7 Must-Read Books About Artificial Intelligence". That's an article wh

I always see stories complaining about major macOS versions, but I've yet to see one about Windows yearly feature updates (except the data loss one years ago). It seems that even though the initial releases of Windows 10 and 11 get cri

I've never seen anyone convincingly argue that you can remove algorithmic bias, in the way the industry is currently trying to do, without simply replacing these supposed societal biases with the AI maker's own biases. A fundament

On that front, it's funny to me that Google was so successful with Chromebooks, when Jobs called thin clients the future for decades yet failed to ever make one.

True, a lot of this moved to laptops for Innovator's Dilemma-reasons, but surely they have a plan to secure a more few niches, beyond FAANG software developers for the Mac, and students for the iPhone and Watch? The iPad was intended t

What I don't get, is that Apple lost their foothold in both the creative market & education markets, and don't seem to be trying to address it. Why is the Mac Pro still the same price, three years after its release? Why not wo

Why “the West”? Crypto is anti-state power generally, not anti-West (most repressive countries crack down on its use). And I doubt the North Korean or Russian governments are using Binance.

Cross-posting can mean posting the same content on two platforms, not linking to content on another platform. Linking to Facebook would likely still earn him a ban.

All this stuff comes from "critical discourse analysis", a pseudointellectual and almost cult-like movement within academic research, which is receiving no pushback because no one knows about it. People are too busy focusing on th

The decentralised technologies are still groundbreaking and trustworthy. But you can’t market that, so it doesn’t get adopted. The lowest common denominator goes for the stuff that’s heavily advertised, like centralised exchanges (scams), s

True; but as mainstream platforms keep fighting CSAM, the only "reliable" place to get it is specialized sites on the dark web, and governments have been quite competent at busting those and identifying their users. I much prefer

I don't understand why the popular dichotomy is AI-killbots versus aligned-AI. A much more realistic and relevant one, which we're already facing today, is government AIs that oppress people, and open-source AIs that allow people

The exact same UK government supports making more speech illegal (see my other comment). Experts have warned that the bill threatens E2E encryption. It also seems to require KYC for all social media activity, killing online pseudonymity. Th

"We don't want people to be banned on social media if they're not committing crimes, but we want to make all these things crimes" is an insane position for the UK government to take. There are still far too many white-co
