🚨Our paper `Reclaiming AI as a theoretical tool for cognitive science' is now forthcoming in the journal Computational Brain & Behaviour (@CompBrainBeh). Below a thread summary 🧵1/n #metatheory #AGI #AIhype #cogsci #theoreticalpsych #criticalAIliteracy
“Lauer notes that not long before he left NIH, he and his colleagues identified a principal investigator who had submitted more than 40 distinct applications in a single submission round, most of which appeared to be partially or entirely AI generated.” science.org/content/articl…
Watch this amazing video by Jim Amos and then consider signing the two open letters below. deeplywrong.substack.com/p/generative-a… 1. Open Letter Australia: openletter.earth/an-open-letter… 2. Open Letter The Netherlands: openletter.earth/open-letter-st…
The claims also contain incorrect causal directionality with the thinking and system I/II claims. The map is not the territory, there is a difference between a representation of something and the thing it represents. link.springer.com/content/pdf/10…
The TLDR claims the approach can solve ‘any’ general problem. Can you please explain how it could solve intractable (exponential time complexity) general learning problems per the linked perfect vs chance proof in less than exp time, or refine the claims? link.springer.com/content/pdf/10…
One day, everyone will have always been against this. But when it was essential for people to oppose it, they were complicit in their silence. Never forget. There must be consequences.
I'm just going to start auto-sending this video to everyone who yells that I'm a Luddite for not bear-hugging the world-wrecking technology. youtube.com/shorts/cEk9iiD…
Voor het oog van de wereld wordt het Palestijnse volk door Israël opgejaagd, uitgehongerd en vermoord. De EU kan én moet druk zetten om 🇮🇱 te stoppen door handelsvoordelen op te schorten en sancties in te stellen. bit.ly/3IusOji
Arendt verwierp staat die niet-Joden, te beginnen met Palestijnse medebewoners, aanzag als vijand van alle Joden: ‘Die houding is zonneklaar plat, racistisch chauvinisme. Dit verschilt niet van andere [fasscistische] Herrenras-theorieën. Ze noemde de Nakba 'morele catastrofe' 3/
Israeli's zouden zozeer in beslag worden genomen door fysieke zelfverdediging dat alle andere belangen werden verdrongen (…) economische ontwikkeling zou enkel en alleen worden bepaald door oorlogsbehoeften.’ Ze schreef in 1948: ‘Het is nog niet te laat’ 2/
🧵De joodse filosofe Arendt steunde eerst het (etnocentristisch) zionisme, maar toen in 1944 openlijk Joodse staat in heel Palestina werd geeist, distantieerde ze zich.Ze waarschuwde dat Israël zou verworden tot gewelddadige staat met militaire logica 1/tinyurl.com/mr2mjwnx
I've just signed this petition for the UK to proscribe the IOF. Will you add your name and share too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/yvet…
Three decades after the #Srebrenica genocide, relatives are still searching for and burying the remains of over 8,000 men and boys killed by #Bosnian Serb forces. arab.news/wud4g
Genocide is when whole families are wiped out: the only photo of brothers Suljo and Saudin Muminović with their mother Nura. Both boys (16 & 13 y. o.) were killed in the #Srebrenica Genocide together with their father Fehim and grandfather Hamed. Nura Muminović died in 2005. 🌹

it's not too late. maybe in america where they have all but given up. here we fight! my idea is to get the smartphone-vrij movement to start paying attention to AI, they are big and well organized
At least by now everyone knows there is no such thing as human-level artificial intelligence (AI) nor superintelligence in the context of current machine learning (ML) especially language and image generator models. All that these AI companies are doing is selling products.
The UN says that despite being permitted to deliver the first fuel shipment to Gaza in 130 days, it was not enough to cover even a single day’s needs, leaving hospitals and other critical facilities on the brink of shutdown.
“I truly hope that people understand what’s happening.” “I’m a UN pro bono official — I’m not even paid. Yet suddenly I’m a threat to the global economy. Why? Because I asked big tech to comply with international law and stop profiteering from genocide.” — Francesca Albanese
