This notebook explores "epistemic curvature" and homotopy-theoretic #activeinference using a REAL WORLD example.
The example is very simple, but there are plans to extend it to large-scale social networks in the future.

Why can’t the tech world agree on whether AI actually "reasons"?
It turns out, the answer is hidden in how we talk about feeling cold.

When you say "I am cold," you aren't just describing your temperature. You are picking a side in a centuries-old philosophical war, one that perfectly explains why the tech world is currently tearing itself apart over whether AI can truly "reason." There is a curious linguistic asymmetry hiding in plain
Do logical visual aids (such as Venn diagrams) improve argument evaluation?
Not in this study of 164 English speakers (with "normal or corrected-to-normal vision and no issues seeing color").

@coreysnipes thank you.
I have been at this for a while ...both as a security guy who helped get #swsec and #appsec going 28 years ago and as a student of Doug Hofstader's with a Ph.D. in #cogsci. BIML has been spearheading independent #MLsec since 2019.
Is AI becoming more human, or are we discovering just how much of our "intelligence" is actually uncritical automated thought?

Is AI becoming more human, or are we discovering just how much of our "intelligence" is actually uncritical automated thought? In this dialogue, a skeptical look at our new "LLM Oracles" reveals an unsettling truth: for most of us, the Turing Test has been inverted. We aren’t being fooled
🧠 New preprint by Lu et al: Recordings from the human #hippocampus and anterior cingulate #cortex during three distinct tasks reveal that #NeuralPopulation activity is not fully task-specific. About half of the low-dimensional #NeuralSubspace structure was shared across tasks, suggesting a stable population geometry that may support flexible #cognition across different #behaviors.
