Bluesky seems to be reaching critical mass. I’ll be spending most of my attention over there from now on.

[Joscha Bach @Plinz]

The hallucinations of LLMs are not a problem per se: human minds hallucinate too. If we remove the constraints of perceptual input, we spin off into dreams. If we don't verify our intuitive generations with reasoning, our thinking becomes delusional. Generative AI is incomplete.

I used to believe conspiracy nonsense. But now I see the actual truth, and it's far scarier: there's NO ONE behind the curtain. There is NO master plan. There are just a bunch of douchebag billionaires, each with their own sociopathic agenda, fighting for control of the helm.

Most interesting thing about the Lex Neuralink podcast is one of the guys describes that when the Neuralink subject moves a cursor on a screen, it actually moves before he expects it to, almost before he tries to move it

It's weird that we talk so much about a "loneliness epidemic" but we don't really talk to people about how to make friends or why they are not making friends.

So, a few things.

I've said this before and people get very angry about me — but something has to replace smoking.

@aidan_mclau Team Philosophical Investigations here. Straight intellectual genealogy to word2vec and all the fun that stemmed from it.

here are my highlights from @drmichaellevin's recent paper on memory

he proposes a big shift in our notion of “memory” – from something that stores hard-coded information to a “prompt” that must be reinterpreted by our future self, a prompt which has a minimal agency of its own

We had MRAPs in Afghanistan (because they're IED-resistant)

But we never used them because they're *so* alienating to everyone around you they undercut our mission.

So we rode dirt bikes and drove Hiluxes. We took the extra risk, far more risk than any cops, to be more human.

What if a graph view and text editor were just two ends of a continuous spectrum? You get consistent semantics, intermediate views, and some other benefits by blending structurally-compatible representations.

Here's a 'semantic zoom' in @tldraw

Fascinating take on extending somatic awareness into tools / machine interfaces--

to the extent that this forklift driver has a better awareness of the truck's battery charge than their own hunger!

Oh my god, I get it now. The bicameral mind is still in the process of breaking down. Inner monologues are holdovers, doomed to be outcompeted by more efficient minds.

It’s easy to get a bot to chat, the hard part is getting it to STFU

@WalterBright Please do, I love Empire. A simple concept done so well!

[George Lakoff @GeorgeLakoff]

What's behind the constant attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI)?

It's the "conservative moral hierarchy" as outlined in "Moral Politics" (1996) and subsequent books. Whenever there's a question about a right-wing policy or views, consult this list for the answer.

Midjourney V6 is wild 🤯

[Steen Lehmann @slehmann]

Midjourney is amazing, fun, kind of poetic sometimes. I poked it in just the right ways, and these came out. I feel conflicted about how much credit to take for creating such images, I didn't do much work, on the other hand they wouldn't exist if I hadn't done that #midjourney
