For new followers: I’m trying to tie in Jung’s work on psychological type/personality development within the larger body of all ... knowledge. For me, Jung’s ideas create a picture that allows you to piece together the puzzle pieces scattered across different fields of research.
@IntuitMachine@xzistor designed his robots on exactly the same principles but even better — using the logic of emotion! How does the AI above know or care to create it’s own games and solve them? How does it know what the “solution” to its problem/game even looks like?
@claudiacheng@LukeBanack@pc_optimum@PCoptimum I followed up 5-6 times over the course of 4 months and ultimately gave up. The first time I called from a PC Financial kiosk as suggested by some posts on reddit. The last time I called they wanted me to restart the process again (change passwords, reset app, etc) and I said no.
@claudiacheng@LukeBanack@pc_optimum@PCoptimum I even have access to the transaction on my online https://t.co/2eWyHhgoyS and only 2 items were bought totalling less than $5. The receipt is for $600 though. A 4K TV was redeemed for the points but it was never run through the register! Weird! And no one looked into it.
@claudiacheng@LukeBanack@pc_optimum@PCoptimum Nope 😡 gave me the run around many times and my account has been frozen since. I got the “yes we will get a senior team to look into it” and then a followup customer care email saying “according to section X in terms of service, your job to keep account secure” every time.
The Xzistor Mathematical Model of Mind converges nicely with @doctorcochrane’s affective theory of mind in that both point to negative feedback loops and the need to maintain homeostasis as the basis of both emotions and thinking/cognition/intelligence.

@personalitygeni@yudapearl@MillerLabMIT@KordingLab@Raamana_ @PHuenermund Ok, let's get the maths in front of @yudapearl as not many have asked for this before. Won't be so easy to simplify the Xzistor model from manifesto below (500+ pages and robot code of 30 000 lines - 10 threads) but about time I share more about the maths...
Will send a link!
@yudapearl@xzistor@MillerLabMIT@KordingLab@Raamana_ @PHuenermund While Rocco’s book and our videos don’t delve into the mathematics, Rocco has shared with me parts of a 500 page manifesto detailing the equations underlying the theory. Maybe he can distill the most important points for us in a shorter document?
@doctorcochrane Have people written any comments or critiques?
And what do you *do* with it now? How does a theory spread and get widely accepted? 🤔
It’s a problem of distribution, and I feel like it would need someone more savvy in popularization of ideas. Being right is not enough
@xzistor@doctorcochrane He does touch on all of this. I still have half the book left but I think there is significant overlap/convergence between the two models.
@SturnioloSimone@ActiveStructure@GaryMarcus@xzistor and I explain how you can program qualia into robots using a simple negative feedback loop, sensors and effectors, reward backpropagation, and emotion-tagged associative memories (in the video we use an example of a caffeine-obsessed robot). https://t.co/0POHcSRy5f
What role does pain play in fear and anxiety? Can a person survive without feeling pain, fear or anxiety? Find out in this episode of Conversations on the Mind where we discuss the curious case of a woman who doesn’t feel pain.

@conjurial@j_q_balter@Rado9910@MelMitchell1 So has there been an increase in the complexity of their mating and parenting behaviors? Yes. Would we say they are more intelligent??? I gather they expend a lot of energy/resources (as do we) to simply ensure their species’ survival due to higher competition.
@conjurial@j_q_balter@Rado9910@MelMitchell1 Actually my favorite example of the increase in complexity due to density-dependent effects are the Cichlid fish in Africa… there are species that raise their young in their mouths due to high predation (and others that lay eggs in other’s mouths to take advantage). +
