Many entities, including machines and organizations, are now “independent organisms” but not intelligent and responsible If an AI performs an illegal act, who should be held accountable? I have to deal with every possible type of entity on the Internet, including intelligent systems made of computers, and many that are now hybrids of humans and

Cécile Gal @CecileGal Paper out! https://nature.com/articles/s41598-024-59089-1 We show that presenting visual stimuli in random order of visibility impairs humans’ ability to recognise them. Unlike machines, where random presentation of samples helps learning (avoid overfitting), in humans randomness is detrimental. Replying to @CecileGal Training Human Perception. The chaotic and fragmented Internet, making it all accessible to

Zhigang Suo @zhigangsuo The Nobel Laureate T.D. Lee died recently. @yangyang_cheng wrote about Lee’s role in lifting science in China, and in bridging China and America. These magical years of 1980s! https://npr.org/2024/09/05/nx-s1-5092630/td-lee-legacy-perspective-china-physics-yangyang-cheng Replying to @zhigangsuo and @yangyang_cheng Thanks for sharing! There have been many excellent and outstanding researchers from China working in China and around

Yi Ma @YiMaTweets The truth about intelligence can only be fully explained through the language of mathematics, not necessary very deep. Replying to @YiMaTweets True Intelligence from open verifiable accessible mathematical systems might help all humans, not just enrich a few There are many languages in the world and some humans do not have a

Facebook about braided loops and woven structures. Steve Mould “How Elastic Knots Really Work” Everything you are doing with closed wire loops also works for closed magnetic circuits. What flows is not stress (wires and solids), but electrons (conductors) and Webers (units of magnetic flux). The intensities are (Newtons/Meter^2*second) (Coulombs/Meter^2*Second) (Webers/Meter^2*Second) A Weber/Meter^2 is a

MatthewBerman @MatthewBerman Reflection 70b just dropped and is beating every other model, including GPT4o and Claude 3.5. How did this happen? Here’s my conversation with Matt Shumer (@mattshumer_) and Sahil Chaudhary (@csahil28), the authors of Reflection 70b. https://pic.x.com/lfskkfycpd Replying to @MatthewBerman @mattshumer_ and @csahil28 “AI” is still an ad word, not a real effort to

The Insane Math Of Knot Theory at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DBhTXM_Br4 Magnetic ropes can be tied in nuclear knots, not orbits but closed paths. One can make permanent fuels with no mass, and when you snip at pre-weakens links, it gives up the energy cleanly, leaving no matter at all. With careful planning a macroscopic rope can be
