Interesting that all algorithms, including LLMs, use operations that are either deterministic or (pseudo) random.

Had a fun, wide-ranging chat with @balazskegl.bsky.social on Agency, freedom, control and related topics 😊 youtu.be/nqxq-BiCr-M?... via @YouTube
And it's absolutely not restricted to RL. Or even ML. In science, integration is often way more useful than novelty, and it is often not even listed as a criterion.

The Superior Couple
Can an engineer transcend the mind-body split? What @audreydiwan.bsky.social's Emmanuelle (2024) reveals about moving beyond 50-50 partnerships toward conscious polarity.

00:58:16 AI cannot do abduction, lacks emotional intelligence thus creativity. Make AIs compete. Hallucinations, Wikipedia, and the St Tropez nude beach. Dreams and the psychoanalysis of AI. Netocracy and consumariat.
00:39:14 AI. How the mechanisms of fear, resentment, ano- and abject and hyperjectification, shape our technological world. Social media creates lynch mobs.
00:31:15 How do we know that when we talk about Man (as an anthropologist), we don't fall into anojectification? Democracy is about the king not getting killed when losing power, not about the will of the people.
00:24:41 The hyperject: Moses the hero who leads us out of our misery, or Jesus, the scapegoat turned messiah who saves us by his existence. Anoject and hyperject are the ultimate extremes of subjectivity. The test: is the power player heroic, or playing into my resentment.
00:00:00 Intro.
00:03:32 Bard's anoject: the anonymous subject with which we like to identify. It takes off our responsibility for our acts and beliefs. Kristeva's abject: the scapegoat who we blame. Psychoanalysis meets society.

A look at AI from an anthropological angle. AI cannot do abduction, lacks emotional intelligence thus creativity. Hallucinations, Wikipedia, and the St Tropez nude beach. Dreams and the psychoanalysis of AI. Netocracy and consumariat.
A reminder: however offended you are, it is _your_ fear and anger that you need to deal with. Lynch-mobbing is a solution for nothing.
The deepest analysis I know of the US election, from a centrist/neutral point of view, from the psychoanalytical to the anthropological.
This is the brainiest of my three episodes with @bardissimo.bsky.social, especially relevant after the US elections and even what happened last week at NeurIPS.

Yes!!
essentially experiencing a kind of death-in-life, and how society can go down to catastrophic roads when a critical mess of the individual anojects align and find an embodied tyrant to incarnate the anonymous spirit of collective anxiety.
It’s also ChatGPT at its best, enjoy!!
The subject captivates me because I see parallels in my own life: how those around me, and even a former version of myself, who begin their thoughts with “we” or “everyone” often end up trapping themselves in a stagnant self, unable to self-transcend or grow,
New blog post.
Preparing for my upcoming conversation with Alexander Bard, I explored the concepts of anoject and abject with ChatGPT, both the psychological roots and the antropological aspects, such as scapegoating and the descent into tyranny.

So far I've been getting more unsolicited political propaganda here than on X. @bsky.app pls stop.
No.
If you guys are ready to go the strong emergency way, you should as well check out transcendental emergentism, Bard and Soderquist: Process and Event.
Since discovering @drmichaellevin.bsky.social work, I have been fascinated by hierarchical multi-agent systems in which the hierarchy develops across different ontological levels.
So hierarchy that goes
engineers -> the company they work for,
rather than
engineers -> their boss.
As kid, sitting in front of my computer and looking at learning curves for hours, rooting for the error to decrease, my dream was that people really cared if I released my weights at every checkpoint. I guess I was not the only one. The researchers in Gemini make this dream come true for all of us.
I don't want to reimplement the full recommendation engine, only have a high-level access to it through meaningful parameters. Like there should be a continuous knob between followers and "recommended to you" that I should be able to turn even depending on my mood.
Thank you!!!
We'll all like each other on this platform, no need for this. ;)
Can you tell me more?

Hi @bsky.app, I'd like to have access to the formula that governs my feed. Ideally a python API. If you do that, I promise you'll be the only social media.
I understand that not everyone can code in python, but on top of it you can build a marketplace of formulae that people can choose from.
