1/ 📢 @CosmikNetwork has been awarded $1M in grant funding by @open_phil and @AsteraInstitute! These generous grants will support our development of Semble - a social "micro-knowledge" network for researchers. Think Are.na + Goodreads for research!

@yoavgo not to say anyone foresaw the way AI was going to develop, but there were a lot of different approaches that contributed to what we have today

@yoavgo "we dont deserve authority" - who is the "we" here? some people were interested in agents/nlp+rl back in the day :) x.com/yoavgo/status/…

"I've been doing AI for 20 years and ..." and nothing. LLMs are new. LLM-Agents are new. our 20+ years experience with AI/ML/NLP may be marginally useful for understanding aspects of their training, but thats about it. we need new tools and experiences. we dont deserve authority.

Being on the @TEDTalks stage has been one of the biggest thrills of my life. My TED talk is live! Please share widely! Predictions can be weapons of power, and we are being much too naive about them, from prediction markets to AI. #Prophecy ted.com/talks/carissa_…

Honored to be participating in this event and very excited for it. With all the inevitability narratives flying around, this kind of trans-disciplinary conversation about the world we actually want to create feels so important right now. Please join us next week if you’re around!

@LChoshen Nice - I don't have a great answer for you yet but we're working on it in atproto.science ! octosphere.social is pretty similar but experimental cc @JoelChan86 micropublishing in the wild

@rtk254 Yes, but this is an experiment, ideas are welcome. This is the first time this finding is shared anywhere (well except in our discord or meetings). It is a small bite-sized information

We know models fail to generalize across languages. But Adam found they fail to generalize when you just call half your English pretraining by another name, like "En2" 😵‍💫

@LChoshen Cool! You mean this thread is your micropublication?

@rtk254 We started playing with micro-publishing methods. Comments and vision welcome.

* A Social Coordination Mechanism: Architecting the Liminal Web for Epistemic Matching Abstract: Modern society is undergoing a profound crisis of connection, characterized by what philosopher O.G. Rose (Daniel and Michelle Garner) terms “Atomization: the process by which the shared cultural ‘givens’ that once oriented human life have dissolved, leaving individuals radically free but also radically alone”. As individuals retreat into isolated, “indestructible maps” to shield themselves from existential anxiety, communication across divides breaks down. Current social platforms exacerbate this by rewarding performative outrage and superficial demographic matching. The Social Coordination Mechanism (SCM) proposes a radical technological alternative: an “epistemic coordination infrastructure”. By leveraging the autoregressive capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) to map cognitive architecture, the SCM acts as a “diplomatic envoy” to match individuals based on how they think rather than what they think about, fostering deep connection, earned trust (pistis), and the scaling of “Absolute Communities”.

@postspark_app absolutely love the app! Do you support the longer X posts too? (more than the 280 char standard limit, which premium accounts can make)

Come to Cambridge, MA on May 12 to join a conversation on making machines go well for humans and nature! Speakers include @glenweyl, @jcoopern, @bonnittaroy , @ForrestLandry19, @kevincompher, Elena Sergeeva, @stuartbuck1, @evijit, Thomas Kehler, @ADForrester, @rtk254, @michaeldila, Tom Murray, B Cavello, @ekkolapto, and @oscar_petrov. thedivinityschool.endemic.org/events/antholo…

presented at ATScience / atmosphere conference last week on digital anthropology of the community archive work I did with @A_Variengien pres recorded (although cropped at the beginning) link below thanks for having me @rtk254!

רצח המשפחה על ידי צה"ל בטאמון והתקיפה המינית שביצעו מחבלי הציונות הדתית מסתובבות בכל העולם. פה הראשונה סוקרה בקושי במהדורות והשנייה בכלל לא. אחר-כך ישראלים לא יבינו למה שונאים אותם בחו"ל כאשר הם בוחרים לא לדעת מה המעשים של הצבא שלהם ושל המתנחלים שלהם.

@exgenesis LFG

woah found my us visa unexpectedly lasts 5y w right to work 😌🍾🤠

@DefenderOfBasic Kinda related

if someone is manipulating bob to cause him to pursue things that are bad for him, and I manipulate bob just enough that he snaps out of the original manipulation, is that considered manipulation

psyched to develop a research agenda with Ronen during BiTS :)

@exgenesis @RenPhilanthropy @michael_nielsen @CosmikNetwork @IvanVendrov @calco_io @A_Variengien @AdamMarblestone @JoelChan86 @PracheeAC @AsteraInstitute @Convergent_FROs 10/10 Looking forward to sharing progress and working with you all to refine our ideas!

@exgenesis @RenPhilanthropy @michael_nielsen @CosmikNetwork @IvanVendrov @calco_io @A_Variengien @AdamMarblestone @JoelChan86 @PracheeAC @AsteraInstitute @Convergent_FROs 9/ underway - what's missing is the connective tissue between them, sustainable economic/incentive models that keep value flowing back to builders & researchers & ofc funding to support this transition. That's what we hope to catalyze through BiTS.

1/ Excited to share that @exgenesis and I are part of the upcoming Big if True Science (BiTS) cohort! BiTS is an accelerator at @RenPhilanthropy for scientists & technologists to design ambitious R&D programs. Our “Big if True” hypothesis is that >
