Our minds seem to be more like LLMs than we probably like to imagine. In some areas of life, technology and society have forced us to be more aware, of more things, more of the time. Our 'context' is filled with more things to con

Conviction influences behavior. You can believe whatever you want: and we believe things based on experience, and personal knowledge. And we 'stick' to those beliefs for certain reasons. There is a friction to being pushed into be

yikes, 'we use careful consideration to pick words' is what I meant. Eating my own words.

It's easy to imagine making all the exact same decisions as someone else, if you were born into their body and lived their experiences. A decision is a reaction from an observer: and it requires information and feedback. Is the thing t

Free software has two cases for free: free as in 'free drink', and free as in 'free to change'. The first use of free is definitely improved by AI, it's the second use of free that bothers the author. There's t

That's such a great read. Asimov's 'The Last Question' is another good one that's in line: https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~gamvrosi/thelastq.html

I get you. Just adding some more to chew: Expressing ideas. How do you circle an idea in your own mind: your train of thought, in order to express an idea? Vocabulary to think, and then if we need to share, we use careful to pick words with

So it's about connection, and how authenticity affects it. The author's gripe is about losing one's self to the influence of society. Being driven, rather than doing your own driving. Following instead of leading. And then on

The reality is same for your angle: nothing is gatekeeping or stopping anyone from developing the craft the old way, and keeping 'thinking' so strong. Perhaps there are other ways to strengthen thinking, though? The sole issue her

Careful consideration is needed. Word selection, grammar, all while keeping the reader in mind. You're sending a message, afterall, so the message should be readable. And then if you want to tell a message with a different tone, again,

If everything is a push, and a pull, then choice and decision must be important. Nobody tells you what to think. It's simply easier not to.

Pipes and cycles is a good way to think about it. Our brain has cycles and we have pipes that move information around: we're processing information to persist. Some of the information we're aware of, some if it were not, and somet

It's probably annoying the way I oversimplify things, but you reminded me of something I read somewhere. Some Jazz musician was asked to define Jazz. He couldn't really, his answer was something like: 'I don't know. But

We don't have a good fuel source or reason for expansion. We also don't know where all the theorized white holes could be. To me it's an interesting coincidence, thought description of these objects baffles me. Unless the un

Perhaps they are somehow related to the elusive white hole: exit points of black holes. Fuel for a Big Bang, if you can imagine. A universe within itself. The article says they're sucking up gas though so I don't know. The arrow o

That's true, and hype to secure future funding is probably related somehow. The article did change an understanding about worlds though, it's just the inner one. I thought the article title was ok, and material was accessible. I d

I think it's very interesting news. We've known about the brain's separate parts, and separate functions for a while. It was always assumed our evolution of the brain was neatly, and tidily tucked away as somethat that branch

It's spent on 'fast, effortless' recall. Maybe, long-term memory, or memories associated with activities like balance, singing, and anything that requires precise steady control. A keeper of balance and rhythm, if you want to

It's interesting to measure how much we believe in something, and how much trust we've lended in order to have a working model of our reality: enough understanding for us to get around, move about, and be content. I'm sure yo

Mathematicians worry about proofs and the intrinsic value of something as elusive as 'understanding'. They are deeply ingrained in the study, deeply concerned with anything effecting the field. Yet they're still emotional bei

It's the harsh truth. And of course, Google releases another dynamite piece of information to the world, with 'recursive dreaming and feedback loops'. This revolves around an idea that started AI, 'Cybernetics'. Fee

Not really. We use -logy to mean science or study of something. Philosophy with no other prefix is study of the Self, in a general sense, because Knowledge is a personal thing. Science and Religion is a common division among intelligent bei

'A person is many things: some things are useful. And usefulness can apply to ourselves, or to others.' I choose deductive reasoning from Aristotle and apply it to my own experience to reach my own conclusions. But you're rig

I found the article fascinating because it 'resonates' with my own personal truth. I don't have the math background or a big enough brain to hold so many ideas, and equations, and relationships between all three, to come up w

The reader assigns value to what is read. I found some value in what I read, even with all the holes. It's a different way to think about a problem, even if it's not applicable in all areas.

That's a key piece of the article. He 'trusts' Gemini to classify the posts, and never hand validates anything. And he continues building on top of that shakey trust. Is this a good idea? It just depends on what you're d

I posted this before I realized they ran the experiment with reduced operating principles. My bad. I have no clue what they're up to, but I do expect experimentation. But I don't really know how they operated, or why. And it'

I read more about the incident, and was offering up way too much opinion not grounded in 'fact' (barring philosphical evidence). It's a complex topic for sure. I stand by my opinions about frontier work, pushing thr edge, and
