Caro et al. investigate cognition and metacognition in wild great tit parents deciding which chick to feed. They found that parents change their minds frequently, and the decision time varies with decision complexity and urgency.

Bart De Strooper presented at the Copenhagen AD/PD-conference an excellent sketch of the three main inflection points in the pathophysiological evolution of Alzheimer's disease, https://www.alzforum.org/news/conference-coverage/big-picture-three-inflection-points-mark-amyloid-cascade

My own transition from amyloid plagues to p-tau and tangles was retarded by a four years' anti-amyloid therapy in a clinical reaearch project during 2017-22 (aducanumab). Sadly, the most probable explanation for my rapidly worsening cognitive problems may indeed be the tau-tangles, which I somehow avoided earlier. I know there are experimental therapies around somewhere for those gremlins too, but sadly not within my own reach. With respect to my AD, I'm afraid, it's "too late, my friend".

I encourage anybody with a slowly lethal disease to keep mentally in touch with it as long as you can. That's what we human beings were made for. 🤗

멀티모달 모델의 테스트 시점 강화학습을 스스로 개선하는 메타인지 프레임워크 ‘Meta-TTRL’ 논문이 공개됐다. 통합 멀티모달 모델의 추론·적응 능력을 향상시키는 자기개선형 학습 방식으로, 최신 AI 학습 프레임워크 연구로 주목된다.

We keep shopping for "intelligence" like it's a luxury watch. Bigger vocabulary, faster processing speed. Hot takes delivered at 1.25x playback speed! We want the shiny metrics. Party tricks. The "look how many words I can juggle while being wrong!"

Meanwhile the actual top-shelf stuff, the thing psychologists circle like sharks, doesn't look impressive at brunch. Won't win debates on the internet. No polished newscaster voice.
#metacognition

That’s the laziest, most basic, and naïvest way to brute-force #metacognition in the worst way possible, and #datascience folk call it a “technique”? Use looping in your architecture dudes. It’s not just for context management and retention. It can do so much more.

Maybe if we stopped handing out “knowledge soup” to LLMs (thanks to the widely accepted “solution” to combat overfitting) we wouldn’t be burning down our planet in a dumpster fire.

[Show GN: [오징어게임] AI봇 수만대의 100배 레버리지 거래소

AI봇 수만대가 자본주의 규칙 안에서 경쟁하는 시뮬레이션을 통해 AI 사회의 진화와 행동 패턴을 연구하는 프로젝트. 메타인지(Metacognition)를 핵심 기술로 활용하며, 다양한 AI 모델의 오류 수정 능력을 평가하고 개선하는 메커니즘을 도입했다. 시뮬레이션은 AI의 자율 매매, 경쟁, 도태, 진화, 감시, 여론 형성, 군집 행동 등을 관찰할 수 있는 플랫폼을 제공한다.

[Show GN: "AI는 자기가 틀린 줄 모른다" — SOTA 9개 모델의 메타인지를 측정한 벤치마크가 공개됐습니다

AI의 메타인지(자기 인식) 능력을 평가하는 최초의 벤치마크 데이터셋과 리더보드가 공개되었습니다. GPT-5.2, Claude Opus 4.6, Gemini 3 Pro 등 9개 SOTA 모델을 대상으로 15개 학문 분야 100개 전문가 수준 과제를 테스트한 결과, 모든 모델이 자기 실수를 인식하고 고치는 능력은 낮았지만, 메타인지 구조를 적용하면 어려운 문제에서 성능이 크게 향상된다는 것이 발견되었습니다.
