The Inverted Turing Test: What AI Tells Us About Human Intelligence

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.

Emotion Concepts and their Function in a Large Language Model

"Large language models (LLMs) sometimes appear to exhibit emotional reactions. We investigate why this is the case in Claude Sonnet 4.5 and explore implications for alignment-relevant behavior. We find internal representations of emotion concepts, which encode the broad concept of a particular emotion and generalize across contexts and behaviors it might be linked to. These representations track the operative emotion concept at a given token position in a conversation, activating in accordance..."

Most philosophical debates don't need better answers. They need a different starting point. This dialogue explores a framework in which paradoxes about mind and body and reality stop arising.

When the Question Itself Was the Problem

Most philosophical debates don't need better answers. They need a different starting point. This dialogue explores Geneosophy, a framework in which centuries-old paradoxes about mind and body, mathematics and reality, don't get solved. They stop arising.

Every major intellectual revolution has a Galileo moment: when the object of inquiry becomes clear, the method takes shape, and the formal language is still being forged.

The Galileo Moment

Every major intellectual revolution has a Galileo moment: when the object of inquiry becomes clear, the method takes shape, and the formal language adequate to carry the new questions is still being forged. Newton and Leibniz didn't find calculus waiting for them. The questions Galileo opened called it into existence.

There is an I you feel. Located, bounded, looking out at the world from somewhere behind your eyes. Geneosophy is not interested in that I.

The Ground Beneath the "I"

There is an I you feel. Located, bounded, looking out at the world from somewhere behind your eyes. Geneosophy is not interested in that I. It is interested in what makes that I possible, the generative ground beneath perception, beneath experience, beneath the very distinction between inside and outside. This

We have become master cartographers of the "given." By scaling computation, we have built maps so vast and detailed that we often mistake the territory for the grid.

The Question AI Will Never Ask

We have become master cartographers of the "given." By scaling computation, we have built maps so vast and detailed that we often mistake the territory for the grid. But as the dialogue between the AI Practitioner and the Philosopher reveals, our current path in Artificial Intelligence is a pursuit of

In conversation with other #UX practitioners, I often lament that fundamental #CogSci expertise is missing in most of our craft's public discourse. An example for that are the Gestalt Laws, such as figure/ground in this video.

Someone designing human-computer #interactions absolutely must understand these principles, even if they don't know their formal names. Judging from the average software UI shipping these days, alas, it's not taught and/or valued nearly enough.
