Re the Tononi paper: Both Tononi’s IIT (phi) and Friston’s FEP start from fundamental, axiomatic, and debatable assumptions. These assumptions are generally made without any humility. This logic allows them to make exceptionally broad claims. Which contributes to my unease about them.

I told a colleague that logistic regression is AI and they got mad at me, so I made a chart. Find yourself. I am "Tinder is AI". (I posted this on that other site and a friend complained "y u no skeet this too!?!!?" so here you go)
![Table with 3 rows and 3 columns.
Rows: (1) Algorithm purist (mimic human cognition), (2) Algorithm netural (learns & generalizes), (3) Algorithm rebel (method irrelevant)
Cols: (1) Ability purist (exceeds human ability), (2) Ability neutral (makes task easier), (3) Ability rebel (usefullness questionable)
Cells:
[1,1] "Terminator is AI" [1,2] "C3PO is AI" [1,3] "WALL-E is AI"
[2,1] "AlphaGo is AI" [2,2] "XGBOOST is AI" [2,3] "Tinder is AI"
[3,1] "A metal detector is AI" [3,2] "Bubble sort is AI" [3,3] "Magic 8 Ball is AI"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ta2whs6wjtpljvpqgs5leu36/bafkreigcdyoayc6ig5dvymrxtpizzqxfqvb2prck564w3r3fzmuy4e33fq@jpeg)
