Interesting that all algorithms, including LLMs, use operations that are either deterministic or (pseudo) random.

And it's absolutely not restricted to RL. Or even ML. In science, integration is often way more useful than novelty, and it is often not even listed as a criterion.

00:58:16 AI cannot do abduction, lacks emotional intelligence thus creativity. Make AIs compete. Hallucinations, Wikipedia, and the St Tropez nude beach. Dreams and the psychoanalysis of AI. Netocracy and consumariat.

00:39:14 AI. How the mechanisms of fear, resentment, ano- and abject and hyperjectification, shape our technological world. Social media creates lynch mobs.

00:31:15 How do we know that when we talk about Man (as an anthropologist), we don't fall into anojectification? Democracy is about the king not getting killed when losing power, not about the will of the people.

00:24:41 The hyperject: Moses the hero who leads us out of our misery, or Jesus, the scapegoat turned messiah who saves us by his existence. Anoject and hyperject are the ultimate extremes of subjectivity. The test: is the power player heroic, or playing into my resentment.

00:03:32 Bard's anoject: the anonymous subject with which we like to identify. It takes off our responsibility for our acts and beliefs. Kristeva's abject: the scapegoat who we blame. Psychoanalysis meets society.

A look at AI from an anthropological angle. AI cannot do abduction, lacks emotional intelligence thus creativity. Hallucinations, Wikipedia, and the St Tropez nude beach. Dreams and the psychoanalysis of AI. Netocracy and consumariat.

A reminder: however offended you are, it is _your_ fear and anger that you need to deal with. Lynch-mobbing is a solution for nothing.

The deepest analysis I know of the US election, from a centrist/neutral point of view, from the psychoanalytical to the anthropological.

essentially experiencing a kind of death-in-life, and how society can go down to catastrophic roads when a critical mess of the individual anojects align and find an embodied tyrant to incarnate the anonymous spirit of collective anxiety.
It’s also ChatGPT at its best, enjoy!!

The subject captivates me because I see parallels in my own life: how those around me, and even a former version of myself, who begin their thoughts with “we” or “everyone” often end up trapping themselves in a stagnant self, unable to self-transcend or grow,

If you guys are ready to go the strong emergency way, you should as well check out transcendental emergentism, Bard and Soderquist: Process and Event.

I don't want to reimplement the full recommendation engine, only have a high-level access to it through meaningful parameters. Like there should be a continuous knob between followers and "recommended to you" that I should be able to turn even depending on my mood.
