I am a person not a corvid.

@jdegoes What is thinking and what would proof of thinking be? How do you know your statement is correct?

[Matthew Ackerman @MatthewAckerma3]

@KordingLab Are you hiring?

[Matthew Ackerman @MatthewAckerma3]

@matterasmachine I think aperiodicity of the underlying geometry is important (or that it is stochastic as it is here).

[Matthew Ackerman @MatthewAckerma3]

@matterasmachine I don’t know. I have a half assed quantum gravity idea I’ve been working on (everyone does). I was trying to make some connection between discrete geometries and continuous geometries, but, to be honest, I probably should just try and read C. Rovelli and see exactly his approach.

@joefrancis505 You can also buy them yourself from SciHub IIRC.

[Matthew Ackerman @MatthewAckerma3]

@joefrancis505 🫡

[Matthew Ackerman @MatthewAckerma3]

@joefrancis505 If you want a button or sticker I will send you one for free.

@flaminhottweets Blue->green. Matthew 16:25. I think my choices are defensible here, but green was definitely made on the basis of emotivism.

@genejchan @DaveShapi Did you pick an option in the poll yet? What have you chosen?

[Matthew Ackerman @MatthewAckerma3]

@genejchan @DaveShapi Hmm. If newborn babies parents are allowed to push the button for them then what?

[Matthew Ackerman @MatthewAckerma3]

@wachig_wiwossa @DaveShapi So Acc Red?

[Matthew Ackerman @MatthewAckerma3]

@barnabee @DaveShapi So what are you? Red/blue acc/doom?

[Matthew Ackerman @MatthewAckerma3]

@genejchan @DaveShapi So you’re a red acc?

[Matthew Ackerman @MatthewAckerma3]

@wachig_wiwossa @DaveShapi So acc or doomer?

[Matthew Ackerman @MatthewAckerma3]

@DaveShapi I’m not a doomer because I don’t “trust” OpenAI or “trust” Anthropic. Trusting people really has nothing to do with the process, so far as I can see.

[Matthew Ackerman @MatthewAckerma3]

@DaveShapi Doomer. Pushed the blue button.

[Matthew Ackerman @MatthewAckerma3]

@JosephJacks_ Well, on the presupposition that the fundamental “atoms” of thought are mathematical, and hence all human thinking is in principle “symbolic language” that is the 0.0000000001% of reality we can understand.

@fos42421 @tqbf This, of course, is undergrad calculus, so I suppose it is consistent w/ your claims.

[Matthew Ackerman @MatthewAckerma3]

@fos42421 @tqbf I of course willing to believe you. I haven’t dug into it. 2-3 years ago it was trash, but probably my most recent evaluation was seeing if it got this joke and it did, at least on GPT 5.6 thinking or whatever. What has it failed on for you?
