Wanted to talk about it with Claude Fable 5... and it flagged the conversation ( https://x.com/pmigdal/status/2064837039552409763 ). Sure, cybersecurity and biology are dangerous topics. Turns out, so is philosophy

I read this article since it was referred to often in philosophy of mind, including by Daniel Dennett in "Consciousness Explained". Yet... while I expected some deeper dive into Umwelts, I got (in my experience) a tautology around

I wouldn’t claim boldly„better GitHub” in the tile while having „Mobile support to come”. Aspecially as now adding responsive mobile takes 15 min (or less).

There is a beautiful MathOverflow thread on how mathematicians imagine concepts, https://mathoverflow.net/questions/38639/thinking-and-explai... . Very often it involves spatial thinking. Vide one example there: &g

Daniel Dennet in „Consciousness Explained” argues that consciousness is an emergent phenomenon, and when we look at its individual components, it is like seeing an illusionist’s trick. We may wonder how many grains of sand make a dune, of h

I have heard it mostly from the Less Wrong crowd. I mean, all stories about religious dedication to "alignment", with doomsday vision if we do it wrong, and a vision of paradise if we do it correctly. In particular, the concept of

SOMA is existentialism 2.0 (wrote about it here https://p.migdal.pl/blog/2019/06/games-in-which-you-walk-and... ). To concepts you menton, I would add grey goo and x-risk.

I like this essay, and have very often referred to it when someone talks about AGI. There is a common narrative bias to look at AGI as the Abrahamic God, if not explicitly, then just by saying that it is omniscient, omnipotent, immortal - a

I love how the game SOMA deals with taking (or not taking) someone's, or something's, life. It is never an easy moment. And with no commentary (with some haunting exceptions, https://youtu.be/pmC6naegRgo?t=161 ), n
