Moreover, AGI might also require social interactions to become a reality, where cultural evolution (and extended mind) play a major role. It is not by chance that brain and culture evolved together, allowing complex minds to emerge @anilseth.bsky.social @mitibennett.bsky.social

The dream of any supervisor :
To see the name of your student coining a new method / approach 😎
When the shout out comes from a leading expert in the field is even more rewarding
