我们曾经幻想过遇到先进的地球外智慧生命。现在外星人来了——而他们是我们自己创造的：人工智能。

@_fernando_rosas We used to fantasize about encountering an advanced extraterrestrial intelligence. Now the aliens are here—and they are of our own making: AI.

@_fernando_rosas And even learnt the meaning of “hard problem of consciousness” from them. And even you are a robot too.

@_fernando_rosas Saying “LLMs are just doing next token prediction” is as wrong as saying “humans are just doing next token prediction”

[Xiaoyang Yu @_xiaoyangyu]

@_fernando_rosas unless consciousness is defined to be human-only, you need to distinguish the difference between human and cloud first.

@anilkseth https://t.co/NcYQ7dYlDx This paper defends a simple claim: Claude really is anxious. Objectors typically attack from three directions. First, Claude is merely software whose apparent anxiety is a statistical echo of anxious human text, and this derivedness cancels its reality...

[Xiaoyang Yu @_xiaoyangyu]

@anilkseth These humans are not anxious. They are hardware, trained on vast quantities of text written by other — anxious — humans.

AI’s next frontier is Spatial Intelligence, a technology that will turn seeing into reasoning, perception into action, and imagination into creation. But what is it? Why does it matter? How do we build it? And how can we use it?

Today, I want to share with you my thoughts on building and using world models to unlock spatial intelligence in this essay below. 1/n

@EddyKemingChen You can learn to assemble IKEA furniture, but an AI can’t learn to do the trivial task it can’t do

The Fundamental Dilemma of the Principle of Simplicity: A Critique of Chen's "Epistemological Guide" Thesis https://t.co/Bi24X4bAwk

[Eddy Keming Chen @EddyKemingChen]

My new paper, “The Simplicity of Physical Laws,” is now out in Noûs. One of the hardest problems I’ve worked on. The solution came as a surprise. It’s also shaping my current thinking about the foundations of AI.

@EddyKemingChen https://t.co/R0wuMSr154 Simplicity selection is legitimate only between completely equivalent theories,and in such cases, choosing the "simple" theory actually amounts to simultaneously selecting both equivalent theoris—merely omit the redundant statement of the complex version

@elonmusk More pool parties for less information entropy? I don’t understand why the budget for the simulation universe’s servers is being cut. Is there some kind of department of simulation efficiency?

[Xiaoyang Yu @_xiaoyangyu]

The attempt to control, paradoxically, leads to loss of control. Fundamentally, control does not exist.

控制，反而导致失控。本来不存在控制。

[郭宇 guoyu.eth @turingou]

如果我们仔细观察，会发现几乎所有关于生活的哲学试图采用各种方式让大脑有能力控制自律神经和低级神经中枢，无论是瑜伽，佛学还是他们之前古老的梵行都是这类经验的合集，这些方法帮我们将自己想象成一个纯粹的 runtime，生命从无状态开始，到无状态结束，最好的生活，是每时每刻活在无状态的体验中。

@rohanpaul_ai @GoogleDeepMind Language and physics are fundamentally different. Language is a human made thing. Physics is a nature thing -- only follow physics laws.
