The issue is that we aren't building for collaboration - we're just deciding that everything should be code, and therefore it's the developers responsibility. We were wrong. We need to build for the collaboration we want to see.

Semi serious question: is Conway's Law 'just' the 'free energy principle' (aka active inference) at work?

One of the things that keeps us trapped in filter bubbles is fear of admitting their existence and power. Like 'I'm an alcoholic' = that first step; I'm an ignorant old white male. And I want to know better. This thread is chock full of better. I'm hunting down every name in it
I was excited till: "Dennett introduces his legendary interlocutors―Hofstadter, Minsky, Van Orman Quine, Ryle, Rorty, Nagel, Searle, Edelman, Gould, Fodor" to teach how to think😬 A bunch of white dudes's room. Dan, we're over the 'great men' approach to philosophy. Yawn

And to be absolutely clear, it had nothing to do with popularity causing servers to “melt” - the ultimate spin for any amateur media. We had more concurrent live streams for sports events 15 years ago.

Farewell blue tick, old friend. Don't forget, always set your feed to 'Following' rather than 'For You'. Then you'll keep seeing the people you actually follow, and not people who've paid for attention.

My problem with this “open” research model is that these papers are not peer reviewed, but are being treated as if they are. The peer review process is a fundamental cornerstone of the scientific method. It is by no means perfect, but it’s not meaningless either.

Gestalt are patterns of human perception. Alexander's 15 properties are patterns of living structures that humans inhabit. Language are frozen patterns of human interaction. It should be no surprise that they are all similar.

I am really sad that now, at this pivotal moment when policymakers are finally discussing AI regulation in the mainstream, the discussion is centering the longtermist cult and other fringe sci-fi beliefs, rather than the many scholars who have worked on AI policy for years.
