The Pleasures of Poor Product Design

A brilliant project cleverly sabotages everyday objects to reveal how much we take for granted about them — and about the design process.

Why AI systems don't learn – On autonomous learning from cognitive science (arxiv.org)

Why AI systems don't learn and what to do about it: Lessons on autonomous learning from cognitive science

We critically examine the limitations of current AI models in achieving autonomous learning and propose a learning architecture inspired by human and animal cognition. The proposed framework integrates learning from observation (System A) and learning from active behavior (System B) while flexibly switching between these learning modes as a function of internally generated meta-control signals (System M). We discuss how this could be built by taking inspiration on how organisms adapt to real-world, dynamic environments across evolutionary and developmental timescales.
