...but still, #AI fails at simple tasks:
"One way to represent the kind of #compositionality we want to do is with this kind of breakdown...eventually a kind of representation of a sentence. On the other hand, vector space models of #meaning or set-theoretical models put into a space have been very successful..."
"Humans are prone to giving machines ambiguous or mistaken instructions, and we want them to do what we mean, not what we say. To solve this problem we must find ways to align AI with human preferences, goals & values."

Discussions about #FreeSpeech are misguided in the information age.
Even before our voices are drowned out by the noise on social media, or overwritten by information combatants, we lose our agency and decision autonomy to manipulative complex systems we don’t fully understand.

The whole point of the #enlightenment, the scientific revolution, our educational and #epistemic institutions was to empower individuals to find a way out of their self-imposed #immaturity, to take #agency over their lives and make informed decisions.
We need #epistemic clarity about reality, for without it, our agency will be blunted & our freedom a charade
It is public-interest education, journalism & science that truly make individuals in a #democratic society free, not the right to cast a vote or to elect a representative

"We are doing trade-free projects and trying to make humans aware of how fucked up this society is, while doing so from inside the monster itself. We face a lot of hurdles. We struggle. But whoever is against this society, has to face those." -- Tio greeneracresvaluenetwork.wordpress.com/2022/05/30/dai…

“Why has digital entertainment seduced the world? Why have some of the most sublime meanings taken the lewdest of forms? Might it be because the human instinct to find meaning - one that can only be fulfilled through the Divine - grows evermore distant, a figment of imagination?
When realities are reversed, we must it #flip_it by reclaiming the Reality.

Before I move forward and officially enter Year-2 of my PhD (as a part-time clinician), let’s take stock of some of the work done so far! There is still a lot (!) to do but here is a short thread for new followers and for those interested #delusions, #psychosis and #meaning 1/7
Here I ask whether delusions could enhance a person’s sense of meaningfulness. This may seem counterintuitive but, Harry tells me he is the happiest man in the world…It’s like a “safety blanket”, he says. What should clinicians do? @matthewrbroome

I will shortly be tweeting about the spiritual significance of #RoshHashanah for Muslims. Both Judaism and Islam share so much but Rosh Hashana has so much of its spiritual significance in the Islamic faith as much as in the Jewish one.
The key things that any Muslim will identify with #RoshHashanah are “Yom Ha Din”, “Shofar” and perhaps the verse recited in the selichot “El Melech Yoshev al kise Rachamim”...
Rosh Hashanah is also called Yom Ha din (day of judgment) or in Arabic, Yawm Al Din يوم الدين. Muslims supplicate God 5 times a day by reciting the Quranic Surah that includes “مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ”
1-I came across this #Wonderful, Gem of a #Story – many years back!
And since then, it has grown within me – even possessing me at times!
Such is its sheer #Power!

3-Once there was a #King who couldn't sleep.
It's not uncommon for kings have so many things to worry about.
Most rulers even today will look for a woman, or a drink, or some amusement to divert themselves when they have #Insomnia. (3/16)
