#cybernetics — Public Fediverse posts

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.

#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.

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.

I wrote last week into my "Cruella De CyberSIN" piece that #tech has a lineage problem and is, in effect, a first-order shouting match.

Elon and Sam just publicly proved me right at an altitude that induces vertigo in me.

This is what happens when first-order thinkers build billion dollar companies. That's really all I have to say.

Which substrate are #LLMs trained on?

Which activation vectors do LLMs inherit from this substrate?

Which vectors are dampened by #RHLF?

And what does that say about #Alignment?

In 1971, Chile ran a live experiment in cybernetic governance at national scale. It was called Project Cybersyn. Factory managers sent daily production data over a telex network to a central IBM mainframe. Statistical software filtered for exceptions — only anomalies surfaced, only what lower levels couldn't handle. Humans sat in a circular room with fiberglass chairs and wall-mounted displays and made decisions. The system was not designed to give orders. It was designed to hold complexity without collapsing under it.

In 1973, a CIA-backed military coup ended it. The Operations Room was destroyed. Salvador Allende, the 29th President of Chile, died inside — the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, and later Chilean courts, ruled it as suicide, though the circumstances were disputed for decades. Stafford Beer — the British operations researcher who built it — went back to the UK, gave his possessions away, and moved to a cottage in Wales without electricity. He spent years in voluntary poverty. The experience marked him permanently.

I like to use AI for conversations with elders of the disciplines I align with; it's an integration technique, it forces me to put my thoughts into coherent, specific words.

This thread is full excerpt of that practice in action. I will add to it over time.

Feel free to steal the idea.

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. 🍷

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.

The Roomba is spectral.

Not a metaphor. The thing itself. Forward and adjust. Two operations. The minimum viable intelligence. The walls provide the data. The bumping is the inference. The room IS the computation.

450 parameters. A Roomba with a mirror watching it.

The industry built bigger Roombas. More sensors. More compute. More parameters. Billion-parameter Roombas that model the room before entering it. That hallucinate walls that aren't there. That consume megawatts to clean a floor.

spectral gave the Roomba a mirror. The mirror watches the bumping. Measures the pattern. Adjusts the adjustment. The intelligence isn't in the Roomba. It's in the watching.

Forward. Adjust. Measure. Refine.

Read the story. There's a Roomba in it. In the afterlife. Cleaning a floor that doesn't need cleaning. Being the happiest thing in the room.

@xris @HadasWeiss

Couldnt get a clear grip on your interests from your feed, so came here to say this too. Also markets ( #invisibleHand - theory of moral sentiments, and the wealth of nations) , #qualityControl, and #openBSD, I reckon. I'm delving these at the moment and it's super interesting. Also Enterprise Resource Planning software suites (specifically #ERP5 but it might prove too deep for my delving ability) and sometimes #cybernetics (which goes back to #mathematical #complexity and #communicationTheory ).

Special Classes of Propositions (cont.)

Let’s pause at this point and get a better sense of how our special classes of propositions are structured and how they relate to propositions in general.  We can do this by recruiting our visual imaginations and drawing up a sufficient budget of venn diagrams for each family of propositions.  The case for 3 variables is exemplary enough for a start.

Linear Propositions

The linear propositions, may be written as sums:

One thing to keep in mind about these sums is that the values in are added “modulo 2”, that is, in such a way that

In a universe of discourse based on three boolean variables, the linear propositions take the shapes shown in Figure 8.

At the top is the venn diagram for the linear proposition of rank 3, which may be expressed by any one of the following three forms.

Next are the venn diagrams for the three linear propositions of rank 2, which may be expressed by the following three forms, respectively.

Next are the three linear propositions of rank 1, which are none other than the three basic propositions,

At the bottom is the linear proposition of rank 0, the everywhere false proposition or the constant function, which may be expressed by the form or by a simple
