We are moving from representation to artificial subjectivity to synthetic sociality https://t.co/fgxgZKkP9o

[Thorsten Jelinek @Jelinekt]

@Plinz @geoffreyhinton argues this way, but his definition of the subject is too superficial. It’s not a perceptual error that makes us subjects, but subjectivity is the very position through which we access reality. Yet, adding perception, we will have created artificial subjectivity.

[Thorsten Jelinek @Jelinekt]

@Plinz @VNMachine I wouldn’t say second order but different yet equally important faculty of the mind. I would distinguish between experience/perception; representation, and the real. Plus, the notion of meaning needs to be addressed separately, because it’s socially mediated. @Plinz

[Thorsten Jelinek @Jelinekt]

@Plinz @drmichaellevin There may be four broad approaches to mind - emergent, universal, hybrid, and simulated - and each implies different assumptions about whether mind could, in principle, be instantiated on a GPU: https://t.co/oGBU9vborj

[Thorsten Jelinek @Jelinekt]

@Plinz @drmichaellevin For M. Levin, mind is a continuous, multiscale hierarchy of organization (en-/decoder at once), from subcellular (and below) to cell collectives and the brain. He also posits a Platonic space, wherein cells do not learn universal laws but realize them.

I have mapped AI strategies of core regions alongside risk mindset (risk of comission vs omission) and degree of sovereignty (high/low). That’s the result. https://t.co/qBqZBmfo4q

AI is set to drive productivity 🚀 but only if networks are ready. 5G must itself become ⚙️🤖 AI-enabled. Without this, advanced AI applications simply won’t be possible. https://t.co/Yu4KUW5oen

Some see Aristotle as the first AI thinker @Plinz ; I have attempted to build a bridge to Chinese concepts—from a language once deemed unfit for proper philosophical discourse, now helping to approach "artificial qualia" more swiftly.

@fchollet While we push the boundaries of engineering agentic systems—whether biological, mechanical, or artificial—we must not neglect the imperative to foster human agency within our social systems, particularly in education https://t.co/u0AsIGodDw

Resilience comes from cybersecurity strategies based on verifiable compliance, recognised best practices/standards. Ignoring this in favor of narrative-driven actions risks vulnerabilities and limiting the overall impact of cybersecurity investments https://t.co/XSWGz5EsTs

With Trump 2.0, class politics is back. Internationally, China seems to be prepared, yet hoping for a transactional Trump, while Europe hesitated and now faces a far worse environment than in 2016. Read here https://t.co/rwzYIr8qJE
