If you use engineering terminology at least get your terms straight 1⃣ Oscillators *are* #circuits. 2⃣The cause of resonance is the similarity in the #structure and #state between resonating entities. 3⃣There is no #feeling (resonance) without #cognition of what to resonate with.

#AI is a technology, a #product, and like all human-produced technological products it is an #amplifier of some human capability, in this case, intelligence, or the capacity to solve complex problems. Of course, it can also, with the same efficacy boost the ability to make them😉

It's not "creating God", I would say it's rather "playing" one.

#HH_Pattee about the limits of #computability. No matter how many times I re-read his work, a new gem always pops up. This one is from: academia.edu/5988491/Respon…
This 👇
I think the term "#grok" is awful. However, the described behavior of how #LLMs can develop an "#understanding" of the problem only after surpassing an inevitable "learning block" seems like an interesting research topic. quantamagazine.org/how-do-machine…
There is a difference between "causal #inference" and "causal #forensics". Just because you have a large #memory allowing you to replay exactly how things happened in the past, doesn't mean you have the proper "computational #model" for predicting how they turn out in the future.
Most of us would agree that the #genome does not specify the #blueprint of the structure or function of the organism, and the "jury is still out" if it is the #recipe describing the process for its #production. Or, is it the #map of #Waddington's landscape? Asking for a friend.😉
Excellent (standing form🥰) interview with @philipcball. Lots of sound points on many issues. In particular, I totally agree with his stance on "AI creativity". Unfortunately, he lost me on the "Maxwell's demon". Living agents don't "collect", they actually "create" #information.

A highly recommended reading from @yoginho: johannesjaeger.eu/blog/understan… A few quick comments: 1⃣ The same #system can abstract both living and non-living (abiotic) #machines, 2⃣ The latter ones can also be #anticipatory, 3⃣There are no "goals to pursue" or "obstacles" in #evolution.
When Asked to Fix Something, We Don’t Even Think of Removing Parts. That's because it happens "naturally". 😉 Whenever you take apart something, there are always "extra" parts left behind when you put it back together. getpocket.com/explore/item/w…
Wishful thinking by two people who still need to learn how things are made. To make an *exact* copy of a brain you would not only have to make an *exact* copy of the material substrate of the brain (every atom in every cell) but also put them in the *exact* state as the original.

Except that all #knowledge is "tacit" (internal and privately created by the knower), so, strictly speaking, there can be no "transfer", this post on LessWrong makes some interesting points about the role of #imitating YouTube videos in knowledge creation. lesswrong.com/posts/RXLbe6oZ…

I wonder what the graphics for various non-linear approaches would look like in the same context of bending an "old tree". And why are they called "wicked" problems? They may be "extremely unpleasant" but are not "evil or morally wrong" and "intended to harm someone or something"

Isn't this a simple truism? Everything is what it is because we #believe it is what it is. Tests are simply protocols by which we confirm and share our beliefs. Contrary to religious beliefs, which are disseminated by mere fiat, scientific beliefs require some more convincing.😉

@Kihbernetics you’re sounding just like Francis Bacon, who declared formal and final causes to be “magic” 😅
But stating the problem is not simply uncovering, it is inventing. Discovery, or uncovering, has to do with what already exists, actually or virtually; it was therefore certain to happen sooner or later. Invention gives being to what did not exist; it might never have happened.…
@Kihbernetics @yoginho @jedlickap @KordingLab @WiringTheBrain Abundance 360 promises "fireside chats with legendary innovators". I thought the part I listened to would have made reasonable enough after-dinner conversation - although after a while you might want to wander outside.
Exactly this. The phrasing "fine-tuned" (which sounds like someone did it) and "for life" (which sounds purposeful) is not warranted or helpful. It's not a neutral description - it's an interpretation.
It's a fact that the Universe is fine-tuned in that way. But that is true for all observations The inference that the Universe is fine-tuned *for* life sounds like (carbon-based life) is given a special status, which is arbitrary 3/4
@ki_cog @Kihbernetics "Virtual reality": that which makes you *more* alive when you switch it off. "Real reality": that which kills you if you ignore it. If only Chalmers would get this... 😉
