Dear Friends,
Today I removed the twitter app from my iphone.

Twitter was a life-saver for me during lockdown. I met so many new friends and research articles and thoughtful discussions.

But starting last fall, these posts became fewer and far between; now I have to wade through so much debris before I see a welcome gem.

Today, with elon musk using his twitter handle to promote classic antisemitic tropes, I’ve had it.

Now, I plan to mainly use my sigmoid.social account. Keep in touch!

As AIs become more powerful, we expect AIs that construct world models to experience “feelings of consciousness”. If we want to avoid inflicting suffering on our planet’s co-inhabitants it is more important than ever to understand #consciousness. See our Viewpoint, https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.17075

Interesting new PNAS paper by Lisa Goldberg and Alec Kercheval.From the Intro:“Averaging is the most important tool for distilling information from data..But a strange thing happens when considering a collection of many averages simultaneously.The aggregate sum of mean squared errors is no longer minimized by the collection of averages..This can be reduced by shrinking the averages toward a common target, even if there is no underlying relation among the quantities..”See, https://bit.ly/3Xcd2vP

Manuel Blum and I study #consciousness from a #TheoreticalComputerScience (TCS) perspective.
TCS is a branch of #mathematics concerned with understanding the underlying principles of #computation and #complexity, including the implications and surprising consequences of resource limitations.
For a TCS perspective on #consciousness, see, https://bit.ly/38zAhf6
For a TCS perspective on #FreeWill, see, https://arxiv.org/pdf/2206.13942.pdf
