It is a truly lovely sign of progress to see athletes from different sports showing support for each other. 🧡 Another step in this direction would be to extend this support to domains that we now are begining to see as adjacent—film and music, science and technology,…

In addition Shannon presages LLMs + GPTs + their connection to collective intelligence + computation. Shannon shows how a stochastic process making use of compression + word transition probabilities can compute the gist—here semantically meaningful novel text that provides "a…

Happy Birthday, Claude Shannon. One of Shannon's conceptual feats was to connect information content to uncertainty via entropy. Uncertainty reduction has become one of the most powerful concepts in biology showing up as a foundational idea in cognitive science + evolutionary

Another way of getting at the ideas I discuss in the first half of the post above is to ask what our brains are leaning to compute—whether we can articulate it or not—when we work on technique on the kitchen (cooking as combinatorics with lessons in phase transitions +…

Any transformative AI built using my poached work and curated databases (as I keep saying) must be made open source to increase the likelihood it is used for flourishing not exploitation, and to facilitate its use by everyone. The idea that it is already in use behind closed…

Murray had eight doctoral students (according to Wikipedia) and from him and them came some of the 20th centuries most important work in physics, work that quite possibly will also underlie some of the 21st centuries most important, generative work in science. Five of his…

@RapidResponse47 @SecKennedy One way to approach this problem is to organize public lecture style panel discussions with scientists represeting different viewpoints on vaccine value and safety. To make this work you need scientists who excel at communication and a scientist or very science literate…

Part of preparing children to flourish in the age of AI should include teaching how to navigate—actually and metaphorically—without tech and instilling from an early age the idea that it is both possible and valuable to disconnect. Among my most potent memories from my…
