new paper: "Evolution and the Knightian Blindspot of Machine Learning"
Our ever-changing world bubbles with surprise and complexity. General AI must include handling unforeseen situations with grace. Yet this issue largely lies outside AI's formalisms: a blind spot. (1/n)
Artificial Life is such a wonderful community, full of life, love and creativity. Thank you Jitka for making this video!

"Life will never be the same, life is changing..." The @ALifeConf also changes wonderfully every year. This year's in Copenhagen was again unforgettable! This video confirms it!
So glad to be in action at #ALIFE2024 ! I'm actually still available via dm here even though I don't post much, feel free to reach out if any of this sounds fun.
Lisa Soros @err_more gives a great review of the creativity research and its promising connections to ALife and open-endedness

elections are coming up soon and self-nominations ate welcome! if you want to help shape the future of the alife community, this is a great way to get involved
following from a convo at #gptp2023: what's a paper you read that felt really transformative? for me it was, as an undergrad, Elephants Don't Play Chess by Rodney Brooks
looking for recs for nice things to read on the train, preferably short form. fiction preferred, poetry is nice, magic realism particularly welcome but I like all kind of things as long as the writing is good.
#ALIFE2023 is hosting workshops!
“Alife for and from video games” focuses on insights that ALIFE and video games give to each.
