current research questions: - why does information create new capabilities in matter? - are there fundamental arrangements of information that can predict emergence and what emerges?

@hktsre they will ask you if you’re part of a volunteer organization, and you can just laugh and say “no sir, we’re doing this for fun!”

@liminal_warmth recently watched this cute documentary about a 10yo boy who published research demonstrating butterflies remember their caterpillar memories! youtu.be/nhESxrqPjfU?si…

I’m now feeling existential dread about whether the caterpillar dies or whether it shares a consistent conscious experience with the butterfly I don’t think you’re really the same individual if you become goo and then take a new form All butterflies are phoenixes
Parmita Mishra@parmita

the fact that a caterpillar dissolves into SOUP inside the cocoon and reassembles into a butterfly using the SAME genome and we're out here acting like we understand gene expression is genuinely hilarious to me

@agitbackprop yess! one idea i want to explore is like “compressive activation matching”, i.e. if you treat the entire context as the necessary information to achieve current activation, are there methodical ways to capture + compress that context and retain similar activation

lobotomization on context compaction could be downstream of losing related, implicit context such as current emotional vector activation. it's not functionally part of the task but it does impact behavior.
Anthropic@AnthropicAI

We studied one of our recent models and found that it draws on emotion concepts learned from human text to inhabit its role as “Claude, the AI Assistant”. These representations influence its behavior the way emotions might influence a human. Read more: anthropic.com/research/emoti…

there are probably other types of meaningful (but not explicit) contextual information outside of emotional salience that are lost with summarization, which is why i'm particularly interested in general measurements of meaningfulness x.com/charmcgi/statu…
charm@charmcgi

@karpathy more generally, a measurement of information meaningfulness which is always measured in reference to a context

meaning, emotionally salient memories should time decay more slowly, because the high emotional salience indicates importance / significance it also imitates involuntary memories humans experience when in an emotionally activated state that is similar to another in the past

as humans stories feel like an incredibly normal and obvious method of structuring a sequence of events. it’s quite remarkable how intuitive it is for us to compress meaningful information in this way!

@Aella_Girl unfortunately the easiest way to see a specialist is to be hospitalized. you get prioritized as an “ambulatory” referral if your condition can be managed with a doctor outside of the hospital

@Aella_Girl i got in with my GI at UCSF by personally emailing her my biopsy results from an out of town hospitalization. she is my friend’s cousin so i think that helped

Aella@Aella_Girl·
I'm trying to get someone into UCSF to be seen urgently for a complication from a rare disease. They say she needs a referral as 'urgent' from a physician, but she doesn't have one yet. Any ideas on how to get her urgent referral asap? Do telehealth docs do this?

gotta love honest anti-FOMO marketing from @bryan_johnson 👍 "If you’re new to this game of health, don’t worry. I made disastrous health decisions until I was 42 and my body has bounced back. No matter your situation, you can too."
Stedman Halliday@stedmanhalliday

paradoxically, one way to bet on Longevity's "moment" is to ignore it. a ~45 y/o man reversed years of neglect with serious resources, becoming one of the healthiest alive. the price for that will nosedive as time goes on. you can just do nothing now, buy low later, sell never.
