What alien mathematics is this?

[Simon Burton @fridaysimon]

so much this

[Mike Sowden @Mikeachim]

Here's something that quietly haunts me when I see social media at its angriest:

*When you rage about how stupid a thing is, you also help it reach even more people.*

It’s not a clean, neutral process. It comes with polluting side-effects that need offsetting.

How?

@letonyo This common knowledge stuff always sounds very quantum to me, wigner's friend, etc. One day i'm gonna understand this properly, maybe Tao's blog post here will help..

@iokasimovm Just call it a "laxative" and be done with it.

@davidbessis @CraigMurphy8881 @charlesmurray The teacher makes the difference.

@dibiagioandrea Yes.. the global financial system is a kind of deranged AI. It's basically belief propagation. And it runs everything.

@amar_hh Another visualization of the rules for a Bialgebra (which is called a Hopf monoid here). The compatibility equation is very close to the surface diagram equation above! From a talk by Federico Ardila: "Algebraic Structures on Polytopes".

[Simon Burton @fridaysimon]

From a talk by @amar_hh : how the bialgebra isomorphism comes from a movie of intersecting sheet diagrams!

[Simon Burton @fridaysimon]

Nice talk! & i'm very curious to see where this goes..

VIDEO: Hola from Barcelona! @SuzanneGildert is thrilled to present her scientific program to test conscious agency in AI, using quantum computing and robotics. This is just the start of an exciting journey @NirvanicAI looking for signs of conscious agency in a technological substrate. Please watch her video, recorded at The Science of Consciousness conference, led by @StuartHameroff. Join our Substack, and stay informed! 🔬🇪🇸

@prathyvsh no this is about understanding the sledgehammer by using a nut...

@letonyo did you see this discussion: https://t.co/YOW5bRw7IZ

[Simon Burton @fridaysimon]

that was such a great workshop, i remember it clearly

Ever wonder what lies beyond the edges of someone's profile picture?

Ya know, without the cropping?

No? Well too bad!

I've just released a new tool to uncrop your profile picture... revealing a creative and unexpected scene that matches your online persona.

New book found in the CUP bookshop, by Robert Curtis one of the authors of the ATLAS. Could not help myself.

We are looking for quantum error correction researchers to work with our team in Colorado:

@erikphoel Very interesting. Whereabouts in Nagel does he talk about the "you are here" map?

[Simon Burton @fridaysimon]

@cole_comfort String diagrams land in an entirely different part of the brain, so i can empathise with this attitude. But for me this is the only part of my brain that is not maths-retarded, so I don't have any other option.

Here is today's episode of "Is this real mathematics, or has my printer malfunctioned?"
