AI Is Bottom-Up, ROBA Is Top-Down
Here is a paper on the need to train AI so that it doesn’t prey upon our base human emotions: https://om.omni.se/a/gaestkroenika-sociala-mediers-algoritmer-styrs-av-var-raedsla Like all current AI research, the sentiment comes from the right place: AI need to understand the human better. But the understanding is backwards. Not only are the concerns backwards, but the AI system…

The ROBA Chip – A Pi-sized AI Model
A question for anyone who understands AI: are there any AI companies which have a coherent theory of human language? Or are all AI companies just force-feeding massive amounts of data into their training systems? Because the latter is not a theory on language. My hypothesis is that no AI company has a coherent theory…

Testing the Simulation Hypothesis with the ROBA Hypothesis
Elon Musk recently joked that the reason that the James Webb telescope experienced delays because the computers were busy trying to render what the planets looked like, since the programmers who created the simulation we’re currently living in failed to anticipate that we humans would have been able to see these stars. It’s a fun…

AI Poisoning
Perhaps the reason driverless cars are “uncanny” is because the average person can’t merge with a car. When we drive a car, we are using a tool which has, as a result, our linguistic expression. We can detect hesitation, anger, happiness, etc. while watching how another’s car moves. It allows us to predict flows of…

Violence + Linguistics = Synthesis II (also A Warning for AI Modelers)

Darwin’s “survival of the fittest” model was combined with Gregor Mendel’s genetics which formed what’s known as Modern Synthesis (I’ll call it Synthesis I). It was relatively easy to happen upon Synthesis I: the science was already mostly there for both Darwin’s and Mendel’s schools. All one had to do was combine the fields and…

Mass Media Parsing Schemes
A mentor asked me a good question regarding my last post: If interacting with AI as though it is human is detrimental to the human phenotype (per my Unoptimized-Merge hypothesis), isn’t that the same with mass media in general, or financial markets, which have always functioned as sort of massive neuron networks. I would argue…

When Recycled Plastic Is Your Language
CES always has a theme. Back when I attended for the first and last time in 2019, the theme was VR, but now, 5 years later, I only know 2 or 3 people who have a VR headset. This year, it’s AI and robotics. It’s going to have a bigger future than VR, because almost…
