I’ve put together a short piece on adaptive programming systems, how programming environments might better support mixed human-AI workflows:

Would be glad to hear what resonates (or doesn’t) with folks here.

In this dissertation, I’ll explore different methods to combine symbolic AI and neural networks (like large language models) for automatically create programs. The posed question is: How AI methods can be integrated for helping to synthesize programs for a wide range of applications? 👇

Looking forward to this interesting lineup. Beware the "wild ideas" session. Feb 28.

Hello from @wigmore-hall.org.uk, dear all! Playing the next programme of the Beethoven sonatas cycle tonight: Op. 14/1, Op. 7, Op. 49/2, Pathétique and Les Adieux.

Immensely looking forward!

Ok, so can we get some cheap GPUs now - to, you know, play video games and all that?

The paper-clip monster, born as bolstrom’s thought experiment is obliterated by a simple logic assumption: if such AI is so intelligent, why the hell is doing something so stupid? Here follows a much more resolute essay of the topic of AI doomsday: www.everythingisbullshit.blog/p/ai-doomeri...

If you are feeling overwhelmed, I strongly recommend the livestream of the corpse flower at Sydney Botanic Gardens on YouTube. There are currently 1,500 people in chat waiting for a flower to open, and occasionally claiming that it definitely has moved this time.

“pseudoargument is a sparring match, status competition, tribal chant, or diss fight disguised as an attempt to persuade or be persuaded. The interlocutors might put on a performance of citing “evidence” or giving “reasons,” but beneath is smthing darker www.everythingisbullshit.blog/p/arguing-is...

Argumentation is a linguistic exercise among two or more persons intended to convey some sort of belief from one participant to another. LLMs can be directed towards a better argumentation, focusing on rhetoric and persuasive means: gfrison.com/2024/12/01/r...

Sometimes it takes me 22 years (+ one evening) to write a blog post. Here are my thoughts on "homoiconicity" and, as an alternative, "bicameral syntax". (Warning: 4000 words.)
