Re: The Education of Axel Heyst
You have probably seen it, but I just found this IC map: https://www.ic.org/directory/ Regional density of IC's probably correlates pretty well with the percentage of the population at green or above in SD, or like 4.5+ in Kegan. There are also still many unintentional communities intact (i.e. UC's)...

Re: Gaming/virtual economies (EVE online)
Makes sense from an adult fun-time perspective but the opportunities for childhood education are much more rich. Creating virtual models to be shared, updated, and continued by the next generation is a relatively new "real world" activity.

Re: 4th, 5th, 6th Person Perspective
Look at it like the mixing of fluids. A subcultural attractor/repulsor forms a pipeline to general culture across which mixing can occur. Over years, decades, lifetimes.. subcultures have a difficult time retaining their identity unless they are big enough to internally regulate lineage continuation...

Re: ADHD meds
Okay, this is all fitting together in my mind a bit better. I don't think I would meet the diagnosis of ADHD and definitely not autism. I do think my EF is high and it seems like this helps with mind-state exploration as I can in some sense trust my mind to spring back to default mode. This lends it...

Re: ADHD meds
I have wondered about where I might fit onto a chart like this. Never been diagnosed with any mental health conditions or put into any gifted programs. When I was in grade school, I failed a hearing test indicating a minor hearing loss which was later confirmed through genetic testing. Though I have...

Re: 4th, 5th, 6th Person Perspective
Sounds like you're trying to keep a top spinning on a boat in a hurricane. Hard to isolate from the general public, juvenile energy, and human lineage continuation.

Re: Investments Trade Log
Take any resources as an example that this technology growth story needs. Suppose the never ending demand for lithium or computer chips. A 7% growth rate would mean the demand for these resources doubles every 10 years. A 16% growth rate would be a quadrupling of a resource after 10 years. 32% woul...

Re: What doesn't kill you might make you dumber?
Though if you have two researchers that both understand what a tree is and are trying to understand the forest, then the researcher that collaborates with machine to account for more trees will get a better view of the forest. I suspect this to be much more relevant in biology and sociology than in ...

Re: What doesn't kill you might make you dumber?
I suspect researchers at any level that are not integrating AI into their workflow are becoming dinosaurs except in exceptional cases. Remember that AI is a much broader category than chatbots. The creative spark is essential but tends to get bogged down in the memorization of facts and trivial calc...

Re: Smashter's Great Adventure
The space of all possible responses or essays is huge, the majority of which we would find gibberish. What these models train on is a small fraction of what is possible. This training attempts to capture the low-entropy sea of order and predictability. The water we swim in. [High] entropic pockets a...

Re: Metacrisis and AI Hyperweapon
Stone age hunters did not know the physics of their weapons, but they continued refining causal variables for success. (If they did know those first principles, they would likely have been more successful, as they could have eliminated the spurious causal links, and nuanced the effective ones) Was ...

Re: Metacrisis and AI Hyperweapon
You may very well be right. I don't know if AI should be accelerated or decelerated but either way will have consequences good and bad for humans. Fast take off of AGI into ASI could spell the end of humanity. On the other hand, grinding AI to a halt may stagnate the global economy and leave us with...

Re: Smashter's Great Adventure
Opus doesn't have access to any data beyond august 2023 (it will tell you if you ask it). Real-time updating is a feature the creators of these models are working towards. I have had about a hundred conversations now with various models and see them like an arc of opening and closing entropic pocket...

A chat with Claude
Here is a chat I had with Claude 3 opus. I am finding it quite helpful for research and would recommend for conceptual work and education purposes. I didn't really have a goal in mind with this chat but started with comparing Michael Levin and John Vervaeke's work. From here I continued on to create...

Re: Mastermind Group #2: Electric Boogaloo

Some having more moving parts than others. To really embrace these systems, try to imagine yourself as an anthropologist in ev...

Re: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta
There is no system that makes us this way, there is no direction that evolution points us. Though if you stop here then you explain nothing about where we have been and might be headed. Evolution is random at the level of genetic mutation but there are other ways to look at what an organism is. The...
