New work:

The Structural Conditions for the Existence of a Universe.

A scale‑invariant meta‑architecture showing how identity, agency, and coherence emerge from negative possibility and operator‑exclusion — up to cosmological scale.

1/5

Limitations ne sont pas une faiblesse.
Elles sont la source du sens.
Nouvelle publication : comment les contraintes donnent un sens au monde et permettent un comportement véritablement vivant.
2/5
Nous ne percevons pas le monde « tel qu’il est », mais dans notre propre lumière — à travers la prism de nos limitations et capacités.
C’est précisément cette limitation qui transforme le bruit en signification.

Yesterday's "Google DeepMind Paper Argues LLMs Will Never Be Conscious" by
Emanuel Maiberg

pairs well with this discussion of meaning in the tradition of phenomenology: "The Structure of Meaning in Experience: Rediscovering that which has been lost"
by Jacob Bell. From 2021 and not about LLMs, but:

"Meaning is, however, difficult to make explicit in language."

🔍 Lecture 01 — The Art of Understanding
Before we teach machines to reason, we should ask ourselves: what is knowledge, really?
This opening lecture steps back from the algorithms and starts with first principles.
It's the philosophical foundation the rest of the course is built on. Bring your curiosity. Leave your assumptions at the door.

New paper: “Agency and Architectural Limits: Why Optimization-Based Systems Cannot Be Norm-Responsive.”
LLMs trained via RLHF are constitutive optimizers — every state transition is driven by scalar reward maximization. That architecture structurally prevents categorical norm-responsiveness (truth, moral boundaries, suspension under uncertainty).

🤖 Is Information Digital?

At the AI Colloquium, Edward A. Lee (UC Berkeley) explores whether objective observation can ever fully capture physical reality. 📡🌍

Using concepts from computer science & information theory, he argues that some knowledge may require embodied interaction – even for machines. 🚲🤖

What are the limits of digital representation?

In the rush to scale neural networks, we have fallen into a category error: believing that a perfect simulation of an intelligent behavior is the same thing as the existence of intelligence itself.

Chasing Our Own Tail: Self-Reference and the Limits of any Academic Discipline

Marcus Doubtful, a physicist turned philosopher. Richard Trad, a mathematician turned philosopher. Both have spent decades thinking about the foundations of knowledge, but they've reached very different conclusions. Richard: Marcus, I've been reading your recent work on disciplinary self-reference. While I find your historical analysis interesting, I think you're making

Samsai's Owncast

My initial response to the `Recursive Absurd` was a familiar one: surely we could engineer our way out - with better code, kinder patterns, more humane systems.

I was wrong.

The remedy isn’t cleaner loops - it’s refusing to become one.

Introducing: "Humanist Absurdism"

When the world grows more absurd, more automated, more systematically cruel-
Choosing to remain human, together, becomes the most radical act left.

Humanist Absurdism: Choosing Humanity - Mathew Storm

A philosophy of embedded kindness. The lived response to techno-absurdism and neo-absurdism - finding the narrow space between compliance and resistance.
