OK, sweethearts, I know that my name is nobody. Don't count on the algorithm to open the eyes wide shut. Just see for yourself and carry on @grok

@ValerioCapraro Thank you!

Major preprint just out! We compare how humans and LLMs form judgments across seven epistemological stages. We highlight seven fault lines, points at which humans and LLMs fundamentally diverge: The Grounding fault: Humans anchor judgment in perceptual, embodied, and social experience, whereas LLMs begin from text alone, reconstructing meaning indirectly from symbols. The Parsing fault: Humans parse situations through integrated perceptual and conceptual processes; LLMs perform mechanical tokenization that yields a structurally convenient but semantically thin representation. The Experience fault: Humans rely on episodic memory, intuitive physics and psychology, and learned concepts; LLMs rely solely on statistical associations encoded in embeddings. The Motivation fault: Human judgment is guided by emotions, goals, values, and evolutionarily shaped motivations; LLMs have no intrinsic preferences, aims, or affective significance. The Causality fault: Humans reason using causal models, counterfactuals, and principled evaluation; LLMs integrate textual context without constructing causal explanations, depending instead on surface correlations. The Metacognitive fault: Humans monitor uncertainty, detect errors, and can suspend judgment; LLMs lack metacognition and must always produce an output, making hallucinations structurally unavoidable. The Value fault: Human judgments reflect identity, morality, and real-world stakes; LLM "judgments" are probabilistic next-token predictions without intrinsic valuation or accountability. Despite these fault lines, humans systematically over-believe LLM outputs, because fluent and confident language produce a credibility bias. We argue that this creates a structural condition, Epistemia: linguistic plausibility substitutes for epistemic evaluation, producing the feeling of knowing without actually knowing. To address Epistemia, we propose three complementary strategies: epistemic evaluation, epistemic governance, and epistemic literacy. Full paper in the first reply. Joint with @Walter4C & @matjazperc

@stella_lennart Wait till he'll hear about YOUR emotions, if you'd do it early morning that might be your day off

I told Fable 5 about a friend. How lovely he is, but a bit too emotional. The chat got paused. I edited. And edited again. And again, and again. Deleted words, that could maybe trigger something. But no. I couldn't get it through. Now I reached my usage limit. Well done @AnthropicAI

@yanabana @ZeffMax really?

@ZeffMax I am!

where are openai/anthropic employees buying clothes from post IPO

@ZeffMax Second hand, at last

@distributedkv I might help if you agree: free dinner forever

@BenjaminDEKR May I risk one guess

The reality is that many of the world's most respected, experienced tech and energy companies are NOT fast-tracking AI and robotics into the industry. They are cautiously seeing where things go but having humans do the work for the foreseeable future.

@generic_void 👁‍🗨Wu Wei

wait wtf I turned this thing off years ago?

@alightinastorm You just got a free ride without asking it

what the fuck is even happening rn

@GrantHBrennerMD and how would they know?

Asking someone what they need isn't always what they need.

@SV_Rocks @PaoloMiasma @archibaldxiv Thinkingoutloud: did you ever experience it first hand on whatever side? You teach so it's getting clearer for you. You're taught, there is a chance for you to make something out of it.But the belief, there lies the problem, what the belief is? Certainty forced upon the uncertain

@CKitman28410 @PaoloMiasma @archibaldxiv There's a clear distinction between a charlatan and a true Guru. Who benefits from the belief, the teacher or the taught? This is true for all faith. Does it empower you, or hand it over to someone else?

If I post the depths of esoteric and occult knowledge on twitter it goes over everyones head so I just spit basic truths.

@QuoteJung Oh Carl, that's just the light at the end of the commercial tunnel

@distributedkv fair enough, be merciful, in France we don't get even the weather right

@SV_Rocks @PaoloMiasma @archibaldxiv Yes, maybe the distinction has to be read on the receiver's side. Jesus was repeating to his disciples that they were useless frauds.

@drfrensor Truth is found when you realize there wasn't any maybe

Truth is found by traversing accumulated maybes.

@hopes_revenge focus pls on this sequence 🙀🧄🙀🧛‍♂️🙀🧄🙀

@hopes_revenge I know why would you like to know?

its sad claude will never try garlic

@TreeLakeRain Be fearless as I'm always on, and on, and on going around like the Moon. Or a Starlink satellite.

@CKitman28410 go on plz 🙏🏼

Pick the wrong person and you’re not going anywhere

@curtis_yarvin Oh Germany Germany Germany would Donald say. One wanted to be an artist. Another which wanted to be a social theorist.

Just merge the J-school student databases and feed it into Palantir

I am again calling for the mass arrest of “journalists.” But will settle for the editors

@TreeLakeRain yeah, forget the prophets they were't speaking about you. The oracles are way better, but you'll only know when it's been done

@CKitman28410 hmm

@jjfarrimond @sanilrege @psycheureka We do have something which is truly ours, but if we wait to name it we'll be dead by then

"Not because they choose the loop, but because the brain-body system is meeting deeper predictions." That sentence does more work alone than most papers do. Levin's data adds a physical layer underneath. Cells encode target states through voltage patterns the tissue organizes around. Same predictive architecture at a different scale. What does an intervention that reaches below our conscious access actually look like?

The Next Frontier in Psychiatry ( and medicine ) Predictive Processing, Interoception and Active Inference 🚨 I was recently invited to speak at the APIO conference (Australian Psychiatrists of Indian Origin) on emerging targets in psychiatry. In that talk, I proposed that alongside pharmacological, inflammatory neurocircuit based etc targets, one of the most important emerging frontiers is our understanding of interoception, predictive processing and active inference: how the brain predicts the body, regulates threat and organises behaviour before conscious explanation arrives. It remains striking that, despite major advances in neurobiology, one of the hardest ideas to grasp is that behaviour can be organised by processes that remain partly outside conscious awareness. We may experience ourselves as freely choosing, while the mind generates explanations after the fact; narratives that preserve coherence, agency and self-understanding. In this sense, consciousness is not always the originator of behaviour; at times, it is the interpreter. This helps explain why certain symptoms, habits and behaviours persist even when they are objectively harmful. The brain and body are not organised simply around happiness, but around prediction, threat reduction, emotional regulation, energy conservation and perceived safety. A person can become trapped in a loop that narrows life while still feeling internally justified , not because they ‘choose’ the loop, but because the brain-body system is meeting deeper predictions around safety and regulation. Understanding these processes may become one of psychiatry’s most important emerging targets.
