@sean_a_mcclure No. please keep being the hero we need, but don't deserve in the world of "content creators" and click bait.

[Stock Glasses @GlassesStock]

@sean_a_mcclure Who has time for that anyways? That being said, your hair is epic. It's not "well kept" to be sure, but rock star quality.

@sean_a_mcclure @EdLatimore As a musician, I have been skeptical of the claim that A.I. can be creative, but you have convinced me otherwise (almost no one else could). The problem is, though, as Stephen Wolfram points out, is it creating things people should care about?

@ClassIUnknown @mathladyhazel Thank you

[Stock Glasses @GlassesStock]

@ClassIUnknown @mathladyhazel Agreed. The explanation doesn't seem to make sense either to me after re-reading it a couple times now. Do you recommend a book (as you suggested) with a very clear and good explanation?

Author of the Infamous “The Black Swan”, Nassim Taleb explains Fat Tails:

@sean_a_mcclure Nice chops! Personally, having a music background, I am selfishly hoping you might explore complexity and topics you normally discuss in a scientific and A.I. context in a more musical context to explore some of the interesting overlap in those domains at some point.

@sean_a_mcclure I think the podcasts are fine and I enjoy them. If you were going to make courses, I'd request you make Math courses since you explain things clearly and intuitively (rare in math books and courses).Maybe calculus and linear algebra/matrix mult. I'd buy those courses personally.

@sean_a_mcclure Wow, you just described how to play music in a nutshell. 👏

[Stock Glasses @GlassesStock]

@sean_a_mcclure I think it's safe to say your work is already read by "a lot" of people, though. That "Discovered, not Designed" is a real humdinger - one of the books that has stuck with me and one of my alltime favorites. I recommend your material and podcasts to people every chance I get.

@CDInewsletter One thing I've realized about Taleb - his ideas are good, but they are not absolute rules that should be followed without question. They are meant to be high-level - to make you think, make you consider. But, I agree - in reality, sometimes they are not practical or practicable.

@sean_a_mcclure It seems the main takeaway might be that teams need to be "blurred" and "smeared" as happens with components in nature, right? There isn't a creator that's an individual, there's a creator that is a group, the full distribution. I think that was the essence of your message here?

@CDInewsletter I remember reading a bio on him. One of the funniest things about Washington was he could stare down a British brigade on the field,but when it came to public speaking or making a speech, the book pointed out he'd mumble n speak so softly no one could hear him out of nervousness

@sean_a_mcclure I just listened to a podcast you did on this subject. Such good stuff. Indirect targets, starting from naivety and iterating. I think it is an insightful framework to embrace.

[Stock Glasses @GlassesStock]

@sean_a_mcclure Having learned an instrument I find it hard to imagine not practicing daily in a "robotic" consistent fashion. On the other hand, I've known good musicians who say they don't practice regularly (might not be the norm, though..) and this might explain that. Very thought provoking.

@matthen2 Thanks, (to you and Grok):

x, y, a, b = symbols('x y a b')
a_val = 1
b_val = 0.75
z = (x**2 / a_val**2) - (y**2 / b_val**2)

@sean_a_mcclure I once heard an artist say the only way they knew how to be creative was to try. What do you think about simply sitting down and just trying things and responding to feedback of random attempts on a schedule (routine time set aside for this, for ex.)? or did I miss the point?

@LifeLessonsAcad @touchgrass_ron @unusual_whales Can you TLDR this for me, please? I don't interpret government speak well.
