There is no harm in doubt and skepticism, for it is through these that new discoveries are made.

[W. Quattrociocchi @Walter4C]

LLMs don’t form judgments.
They skip straight to the answer.
No evaluation.
No grounding.
Just fluent output.
When generation bypasses judgment, knowledge becomes a performance.

New research reveals dopamine helps the brain juggle fast, flexible problem-solving with gradual habit formation. By boosting working memory use and enhancing trial-and-error learning, dopamine influences both how quickly we learn and how costly mental… https://t.co/EoChcvgSRN

Humans might not be good at predicting—let alone dealing with—large-scale catastrophes. This is why. https://t.co/fT5pKHFYCs

Large language models may not be so omnipotent after all. New research shows that LLMs, like humans, prefer to learn some linguistic patterns over others. @benbenbrubaker reports: https://t.co/7vaS5pAF9Z

Neuropsychologist Simon McCarthy-Jones proposes that thought is always spilling outside of our craniums—whether in the form of a written to-do list or a brainstorming session with a friend.

Intelligence isn't the ability to remember and repeat, like they teach you in school. It is the ability to learn from experience, solve problems, and use our knowledge to adapt to new situations.

A supercomputer called DeepSouth, set to switch on next year, won't be the most powerful in the world - but its neuromorphic architecture will allow it to mimic a human brain in full 👇

Fiction can serve as a vivid and accessible source of knowledge. But how to tell its kernel of truth apart from fantasy? A recent @HCR_Journal paper examines social strategies for verifying the credibility of fictional content and sources.

There are too many distractions in this life for quality of thought, and it's quality of thought, not quantity, that counts.

Here's a simple computer analogy to clarify what intelligence actually means.

* "Skills" are programs, like chess.exe.

* "Cognitive capacity" is CPU/RAM -- how much computational resources you can dedicate to executing skill programs, e.g. ability to focus, retain things in short-term memory, and make predictions multiple steps in advance.

* "Intelligence" is the ability to develop new programs to solve problems you haven't seen before. In this analogy, intelligence is possessed by developers using computers, not by the computer itself.

* "How intelligent you are" maps to how efficiently (from an information standpoint) you can develop new programs. E.g. you need to study for a programming interview vs. if you're able to improvise solutions to problems very different from what you've seen before.

To be intelligent is to be able to efficiently pick up new skills to solve tasks you've never been prepared for. The more intelligent you are, the more efficiently you can convert your past experience into very different, open-ended skills.
