life update: a bit of a late news now that visa and legals are all done, I'm joining @Modular full-time to work on MAX. I will be based out of Toronto for the forseeable future!
@WillManidis I believe learning languages requires socialization with other human being. This might become better once voice/interaction model becomes more humanistic, but right now it is relatively subpar comparing to private tutor
Actual whimsical-maxxing on a nice Sunday in Toronto for running -> swimming -> reading Munkres' Topology -> climbing -> exercise free will and bike around toronto for 1 hour -> clean houses (forgot to take photos cuz i'm actually just living)
I think you might be interested into epiphenomenal qualia, as in subjective/conscious experience that are causally inert. Arts are very much this, and there is a disconnect between our mathematical substrate versus what is innately ours. This also known within the neuroscience-sphere where we can construct every components of the brain, yet the "conscious" experiment is very much unknown and we have yet to figure out an answer.
I understand that your argument surrounds the ideas of sampling in a large search space to find something that is truly unique. This is very much possible, similar to move 37 from alphago, but at the end of the day they are tools to accelerate findings, rather than finding-newer-thing-in-itself, which might not be a bad thing also.
