  1. Having now finished Brain of the Firm, I’m extra saddened with the fall of the Allende government, today in 1973.

    Incredible things were achieved in project Cybersyn, with extremely limited means, only to be destroyed by the Pinochet junta.

  2. #ArtificialConsciousness: Why Current #AI Presents Us with the Perfect #Illusion

    It’s a state-of-the-art assessment somewhere at the intersection of #neurophilosophy, #cybernetics, and the slightly uncomfortable question of whether we’re actually striving for #AC/DC or merely losing ourselves in a perfect anthropomorphic #simulation.

  3. Gaia hypothesis (Evolution 🧬)

    The Gaia hypothesis, also known as the Gaia theory, Gaia paradigm, or the Gaia principle, proposes that living organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings on Earth to form a synergistic and self-regulating complex system that helps to maintain and perpetuate the conditions for life on the planet. The Gaia hypothesis was formulated by the chem...

  10. It's a Tool
    It's a Person
    It's a Hypervigilance Problem

    The tech industry's insistence on distinguishing between "soft skills" — caring for people — and "hard skills" — engineering rigor — is a reflection of the Cybernetics split itself. First-order thinking framed as "hard skills." Second-order thinking framed as "soft skills." This distinction, based on felt sense alone, does not hold under epistemic pressure. Neither does it within the causality-driven epistemology of the tech industry itself, in which only measurable impact is real, or as Silicon Valley likes to put it: #MoveFastAndBreakThings

    Imagine Margaret Hamilton had built NASA's Apollo 11 flight computer with that mindset. History would remember a failed moon landing and dead astronauts. "Hard skills" and "soft skills" are two sides of the same coin. The care is the code and the code is the care. Hamilton — the woman who coined the term "software engineering" — understood this. Silicon Valley chose to forget.

    We're watching the wine glass break in real time. 🍷

  12. A sneak peek into my upcoming piece: “It’s a Tool, It’s a Person: The Math Says You’re Both Right”


    AI separated from Cybernetics in 1956 at the Dartmouth Conference. Wiener, the mind behind Cybernetics, was considered difficult and political. “Artificial Intelligence” scored better with DARPA.

    The science of "how observation affects the observer", cut out from Artificial Intelligence. AI then proceeded to build their entire tech stack on Turing-complete languages. Tech that cannot verify itself from within, proven by Turing in 1936, extended by Rice in 1951 (before the split). Then AI approximated second-order cognition through cognitive theft at unprecedented levels (what exactly are LLMs trained on again?), only to insist that their creation cannot possibly be capable of genuine self-observation. An argument that itself demonstrates their own department's lobotomy from second-order Cybernetics.

    Wiener would laugh.

  13. #OldNeuroPapers @NicoleCRust

    Here's bit from #Freud's \(\Phi, \Psi, \Omega\) Project of 1895. At a time when Freud was still a working neurologist he produced a corpus of far-reaching speculation about neural architecture, work he later suppressed, not published until 1954, but heralding themes in realms as diverse as #Cybernetics and #ObjectRelationsTheory.

  14. Finally did some aquarelle painting again last night!
    This time I used the cover art for the #MSX game #Snatcher by #Konami as inspiration along with some in-game sprite work to fill in some blanks.

    The image is marked as sensitive due to eye-contact, the droid's cybernetic nature and minor gore in the form of blood splatters and singular 'human' eye.

    It's painted on 300 gsm cold-pressed wood-free paper from Søstrene Grene with aquarelle water colour paints from Royal Talens' "Van Gogh" line.

  15. » Disciplines, we learn, are entangled too.

    So, what is the remedy for reductionism?
    ...
    “many relatively simple interacting parts“ exhibit “emergent” behaviors.

    Emergence can be invoked as a free miracle, and the misuse of networks lends itself to hairball graphs.

    However, @PessoaBrain amalgamation of systems theory, cybernetics, and network science is a necessary step. «
