If you use engineering terminology at least get your terms straight
1⃣ Oscillators *are* #circuits .
2⃣The cause of resonance is the similarity in the #structure and #state between resonating entities.
3⃣There is no #feeling (resonance) without #cognition of what to resonate with.

#Emergence

#AI is a technology, a #product , and like all human-produced technological products it is an #amplifier of some human capability, in this case, intelligence, or the capacity to solve complex problems.
Of course, it can also, with the same efficacy boost the ability to make them😉

It's not 'creating God', I would say it's rather 'playing' one.

#HH_Pattee about the limits of #computability .
No matter how many times I re-read his work, a new gem always pops up.

I think the term ' #grok ' is awful. However, the described behavior of how #LLMs can develop an ' #understanding ' of the problem only after surpassing an inevitable 'learning block' seems like an interesting research topic.

There is a difference between 'causal #inference ' and 'causal #forensics '.
Just because you have a large #memory allowing you to replay exactly how things happened in the past, doesn't mean you have the proper 'computational #model ' for predicting how they turn out in the future.

Most of us would agree that the #genome does not specify the #blueprint of the structure or function of the organism, and the 'jury is still out' if it is the #recipe describing the process for its #production .
Or, is it the #map of #Waddington 's landscape?
Asking for a friend.😉

Excellent (standing form🥰) interview with Philip Ball. Lots of sound points on many issues.
In particular, I totally agree with his stance on 'AI creativity'. Unfortunately, he lost me on the 'Maxwell's demon'. Living agents don't 'collect', they actually 'create' #information .

A highly recommended reading from Yogi Jaeger 💙 @[email protected]:

A few quick comments:
1⃣ The same #system can abstract both living and non-living (abiotic) #machines ,
2⃣ The latter ones can also be #anticipatory ,
3⃣There are no 'goals to pursue' or 'obstacles' in #evolution .

When Asked to Fix Something, We Don’t Even Think of Removing Parts.

That's because it happens 'naturally'. 😉

Whenever you take apart something, there are always 'extra' parts left behind when you put it back together.

Wishful thinking by two people who still need to learn how things are made.
To make an *exact* copy of a brain you would not only have to make an *exact* copy of the material substrate of the brain (every atom in every cell) but also put them in the *exact* state as the original.

Except that all #knowledge is 'tacit' (internal and privately created by the knower), so, strictly speaking, there can be no 'transfer', this post on LessWrong makes some interesting points about the role of #imitating YouTube videos in knowledge creation. lesswrong.com/posts/RXLbe6oZ…

Computational theories are unsustainable because a ' #discrete switching language' of numbers cannot properly explain a #continuous process of 'growth, motility, and metabolic #control .'

I wonder what the graphics for various non-linear approaches would look like in the same context of bending an 'old tree'.
And why are they called 'wicked' problems? They may be 'extremely unpleasant' but are not 'evil or morally wrong' and 'intended to harm someone or something'

Isn't this a simple truism?
Everything is what it is because we #believe it is what it is. Tests are simply protocols by which we confirm and share our beliefs.
Contrary to religious beliefs, which are disseminated by mere fiat, scientific beliefs require some more convincing.😉
