Mind Understanding Environment Through Constructive State Transitions
By
–
You can also think from the direction of the possible implementation of a mind attempting to understand and control its environment. Since these mechanisms require constructive state transitions, they can only relate successive samples of past world states to each other.

Virtual Agents Time Perception Substrate Automaton Systems
By
–
Since we are virtual objects that have no existence beyond a representation within the control system of intelligent agents that supervene on the substrate automaton, and the progression of time can only be observed via memory, we likely observe an open universe with linear time.

Wittgenstein’s Philosophy and AI Code Generation Limits
By
–
Wittgenstein's project was to turn philosophy into a code generation problem, using regularized natural language. The first half of the idea is sound, but the few steps of low dimensional discrete compositional operators afforded by language are too limited to model cognition.

Yes, we are now several years past an AI singularity, everyone is very confused, nobody seems to be able to make meaningful predictions, but things continue to happen

Singularities Don’t Exist: Where AI Models Break Down
By
–
Btw, singularities don't exist. Singularities only describe where a model breaks down.

LLM-Generated Reviews Outnumber Papers, Lack Scrutiny
By
–
For every paper that is written by an LLM, there are at least ten reviews produced by an LLM. Reviews are far less scrutinized, and there is little actual upside for many reviewers in reading the majority of the papers they review.
