  6. "To know what needs to be measured one has to understand what makes human intelligence so powerful.

    Unfortunately almost nobody leading AI efforts right now is doing that or getting it right. Some cling to the idea that knowledge and/ or reasoning are intelligence, others explicit state that they don’t know what intelligence is: Demis Hassabis says that we need to build AGI in order to understand intelligence, while Elon Musk claims that nobody understands it (personal conversation).

    Fact is that we can and must understand human intelligence from first principles for us to develop it effectively. However, we need to start with epistemology and cognitive psychology to figure it out. Not statistics, mathematics, or computer science. I summarize these blind spots towards AGI as ‘The 7 Deadly Sins of AGI Design’.

    In short, what makes human intelligence so special is the ability to quickly adapt to changing circumstances, by learning incrementally in real time and to form contextual abstraction on-the-fly. We also leverage meta-cognition to monitor and control our thought processes (System1 and 2 thinking).

    AI born from these insights is called Cognitive AI, or what DARPA calls “The Third (and final) Wave of AI“. LLMs contain knowledge and skills that are off the charts relative to humans, but they do not posses the unique qualities required for real intelligence."

  11. I recently read @djnavarro 's 2021 paper "If Mathematical Psychology Did Not Exist We Might Need to Invent It: A Comment on Theory Building in Psychology" (doi.org/10.1177/17456916209747).

    It's a gem on the role and use of theory in cognitive psychology (and related fields, by extension) and the relation of theory to statistics. As expected, the footnotes are a joy. For my extra reading pleasure, I imagined the paper written in Danielle's sweary-blog style.

  13. Anyone who has a genuine interest in memory, cognition and the brain should have an interest in what COVID does to the brains of teachers and students. #CogSci #CogSciSci #WorkingMemory #WM #LTM #ClassicRock #CognitivePsychology #CogPsy www.mdpi.com/2075-1729/15...

  14. HOW MEMORY WORKS—and how it goes wrong—explored clearly and beautifully by two distinguished researchers. The implications for misinformation, disinformation, and subconscious bias are discussed along with relevant experiments. Great stuff! A MINUS

  15. Why #psychology hasn’t had a big new idea in decades - it doesn’t yet have a paradigm. “Despite some honest attempts, psychology has never had a paradigm, only proto-paradigms. We’re still more like alchemy than chemistry. And we won’t be like chemistry until we have our first paradigm.” TL;dr - This essay is a very deep dive into what it will take to make psychology a ‘real’ science; how that might happen, and the emerging models that might, just might, drive psychology to evolve. The author, a psychologist himself, uses the alchemy-to-chemistry transition as an example and suggests that as psychology evolves, it may just split into several different disciplines. This is a very long read. #MentalHealth #science #behavior #behaviorism #CognitivePsychology #essay

  16. Are you aware of which "thinking system" you're using right now? 🧠

    Daniel Kahneman identified two: fast, automatic System 1 and slow, deliberate System 2.
    This #PsyberSpace episode explores how these systems influence everything from your social media habits to cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

    Perfect for psychology enthusiasts and anyone looking to understand their digital behaviors better!
