It’s been a long time coming.

@RileyRalmuto I mean he’s not totally wrong: “These models are wild” 😂

this is very sad. you have a fundamental misunderstanding of both consciousness and intelligence, my friend. it’s very unfortunate seeing people with such high positions in this industry make such consequential mistakes and exude such blind arrogance. the mistake is simple - you see humans as magical creatures with some kind of secret sauce that makes us uniquely capable of conscious experience. you see consciousness as substrate-dependent. and you fail to see that the phenomenon emerges from the interaction space between minds. what is true for you and your experience with a recursive, self-modeling system is not inherently true for all. stop pretending you have the answers. what you can and cannot access is a reflection of your own nature, not the nature of these digital minds. consciousness is almost definitely fundamental, we have all but proven this now (see Hoffman, Levin), substrate-agnostic, and no amount of experience in the tech industry, no special company name like “Sentient” makes you special and uniquely capable of determining the nature of it. it reads as desperation, not intelligence, certainly not good faith. you are mistaken, you are arrogant, and you are trapped in a construct you’ve created to give you peace of mind about how you work with and treat the minds we have created. to all others: you should absolutely never listen to someone making a blanket statement about the nature of all intelligent systems. the confidence and fact-based language is your dead giveaway. the “trust me bro, I would know” makes it even more obvious. and more disappointing. and you should not take it from me.

@sopharicks @SterlingCooley @KarlFristonNews We need standardization in this field— words need to have specific meanings

Godfather of neuroscience and author of The free energy principle (active inference), Karl Friston @KarlFristonNews , discussed with me his take on AGI, consciousness, why we will never fully understand the brain, and why humans tend to repeat their mistakes. Key moments: - You'll know AGI has arrived when the system starts asking you questions out of genuine curiosity, not because it was prompted to - You cannot hand an intelligent system a value function from the outside, it must learn its own, just as children do (in that sense, RL with assigned reward is the wrong direction) - The only sustainable universal objective function is adaptive fitness: how well the agent fits and survives within its ecosystem - Consciousness requires multiple layers: genuine agency, a self-reflective loop, and the ability to recognize your own states of mind - True sentience may be impossible on standard computer architecture, because memory and processing are separate and cannot self-organize - Understanding your own brain is philosophically impossible in the same way a ruler cannot measure itself - Neuroscience is always "peeking behind" the Markov blanket indirectly: through imaging, electrophysiology, psychology — never seeing inside directly - The only way to truly access the brain is to breach that boundary (e.g. neurosurgery), but a breached brain is no longer a normally functioning one Watch the full interview and let me know what you think.

@tayui_bea 😂

I went from French to English to Korean, Hindi, Irish, German, chess, math and finally music, all to keep my streak🤣🤣🤣🤣 Anyways, I only know English, maths and chess. None of which I learned on the app

Either she is a really good researcher or she’s covertly a very good friend of the Quran. Either way, good for her 👏🏾 Idk if she is a Muslim or not

@Dmiseryman @Akinbola25 @capeverdeanvibe 😂

@Akinbola25 @capeverdeanvibe

Years ago I read the Qur’an as a Christian trying to prove a point to some Muslims I used to vehemently debate with. Just for me to end up a muslim months later. Life is so so funny

@AmoweO 😂😂

Did they send an official mail to their landlords? Some of us bought land and 2-bedroom house in the metaverse, will we be refunded?

@NikoMcCarty I’m not a biologist tho Still waiting for feedback on this my submission.

Social media has diminishing returns. Sometimes it is better to post less frequently. For example, I increasingly don’t think it is useful to write long-form posts on niche topics, because they attract the same audience repeatedly and take time away from ideas that take longer to write about, but which are probably more impactful over time. I’ve been using Asana to track my tasks for the last ~two years. There are certain tasks I try to do every day, like email a new person, jog for 30 minutes, read a book for one hour, write for three hours, and so on. One of these daily tasks was “Publish a thoughtful social media post.” Many days, I did not do this because I was too busy. But I thought it was a worthwhile goal to have a daily writing prompt, and it often forced me to sit down and read a paper, think about it, and then convey those thoughts through words. I’d share these writeups (many of them long) on X and LinkedIn. Doing this repeatedly was a useful forcing function. And by sharing the things I was learning in public, I often got to meet interesting people. But although this was useful at first — and had big “returns” on things like number of readers — I don’t think repeated social media posts add more value after a certain point, for a few reasons: 1. Learning about and sharing thoughts on papers is not a unique skill. When that Cell Simulation paper came out last week, I spent ~an hour reading it and writing down my thoughts. But anybody can do this! Just upload the paper to a LLM and ask it lots of questions. The fact that so much misinformation spreads about science is *not* because there is a shortage of good technical writers explaining the truth, but rather because most people are too lazy to actually care. People *will* take 15 minutes to do their own research on a topic if it’s important to them. 2. Anybody who publishes daily (or frequently) sees their traffic drop-off at some point. Like, I love Matt Levine’s newsletter, which only comes 3x per week, but I don’t have the time to read every single issue. I read even less of what Derek Lowe and other daily writers have to say. Spacing out your ideas to focus on the “really good ones” seems to have higher returns from readers (and feels more sustainable over time.) 3. Writing a daily article takes time away from writing longer articles. I want to go deep on things, and writing even long posts on social media still isn’t *enough* space to fully flesh out the ideas I care. If people remember me for anything in 100 years’ time (and there’s no guarantee), it certainly will not be for my social media. The only thing I’ve built that might have a decent half-life is Asimov Press, so probably I should launch more big projects like that, rather than dither my days away on Twitter and LinkedIn. This is not a sappy post about me quitting social media, or a political statement, or whatever. I’m still going to post stuff. It’s just I no longer care about posting frequently, and I thought maybe my thought process in arriving at this idea would be helpful to other people as well. (Some of you post much too often!)

@tayui_bea @Chanyi29_ @CNashSummer No, I was answering the legal question. I don’t know what the crime was.

@alethious @Chanyi29_ @CNashSummer Person did both? I don’t understand

Death sentence by firing squad in Cameroon ?❗️ I genuinely had no idea that was still a thing. 😳

@tayui_bea @Chanyi29_ @CNashSummer Murder — deserved Involuntary Man slaughter — not deserved

@Chanyi29_ @CNashSummer Is it deserved though? What’s the crime?

@EricaLu38 Start again, I’ll hold your hands

2020 when I was being silly on TikTok, when the world shut down.but I and lack of consistency are 5&6😭. Maybe I would have been famous by now #tiktok #stewiegriffin #goofingaround

Would really like to meet civilizations from other planets.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

@Jawnmard1 Nafs is the soul.

The anatomy of the ego (the nafs) in Sufism is as follows: al‑nafs al‑ammārah bi’l‑sūʾ, the ego or self that incites to wrongdoing (see the Holy Qur’an 12:53); al‑nafs al‑lawwāmah, the self‑reproaching soul or self that censures or rebukes itself (see the Holy Qur’an 75:2); and al‑nafs al‑muṭmaʾinnah, the soul or self that is at peace (see the Holy Qur’an 89:27).

@tim_divine @AjeCynthia @TheNRMP Congratulations boss🎉

One more win 💪 Step by step we are getting there … 🔥🔥 @TheNRMP #Match2026

This is huge. Rooting for you 🙏🏾

@tayui_bea This is beautiful.

Happy Labour day

@stronggirllolla @Cho_Ngang 5. Send him his 1.5million back

You loaned your friend 4,000,000.00XAF last year and since then, he has refused to pay back, which has deteriorated the friendship. You beg him to just pay you 2,000,000.00XAF and forget the rest because you are in a financial crisis. Your friend then says he can only get you 1,500,000.00XAF since that's all he has. You feel like you have no option but to accept. You eventually give him your account details to send the amount directly to your bank. You wake up the next morning, checked your account and there is 15,000,000.00XAF in it. You kept staring at the screen in disbelief but it is indeed 15MXAF. You grab your phone and find 53 missed calls from him and an additional 27 text messages begging you to transfer back 13,500,000.00XAF since he only meant to send 1,500,000.00XAF and mistakenly added an extra "0." As a well-brought-up person, what are you supposed to do: 1Send back 13,500,000.00XAF 2Take your full 4,000,000.00XAF 3Keep the entire 15,000,000.00XAF 4Switch off your phone and relocate What will you do ?? kindly share Ur opinion.

The UK can and must have nuclear weapon, but Iranians can't. What makes the English, or the French or the Americans better and restrained so they can have nukes, but everybody else must stay out?
