Walking through the ASDA superstore in Bristol and seeing it for the monument to destruction that it is. Civilisation-scale existential decay as aisles and aisles of branded consumer goods.

One person's answer:
[some] singular events changed my worldview without truly changing any of the facts I knew.
They simply triggered a new thought: “Oh, this explains what’s been happening.”

Communication skills are equally present in all communities & include the ability to navigate differences (accents, dialect, registers, lisps, etc.).
Epistemic humility is a superpower.

@blog the #epistemology of the local #Linux vulnerability, #copyfail betrays itself. the door left open in AF_ALG by accident. Disclaimer: I used to handle #INFOSEC for #JPMorganChase in 2001 and was part of the #hacking & phone #phreaking #underground throughout the 90s before going legit, and well before my formal R&D work and Ph.D. I am primarily an internetworking specialist but cybersecurity is an adjacent field I have done small beer in.

@blog #epistemology #Wiktionary "The term was introduced into #English by #Scottish philosopher James Frederick #Ferrier ." the fundamental weakness and tragedy of the LLM is its inability to emulate #abductive reasoning well if at all. that is reasoning to the best expectation. regardless, they aid the brute forcing of #INFOSEC #vulnerabilities but at great #computational cost. TL;DR humans are better at defensive INFOSEC than "AI" but this is the answer no-one wants to hear right now.

Interesting thoughts of @ewanbirney about causality in biomed sciences vs. artificial intelligence / deep learning

#AIResearch #epistemology #artificialintelligence -
@epochemagazine Logicians have this one problem: their vehicle of reasoning is language, and their concept of truth is not one that can take advantage of the technical space of human reasoning. In both cases the agent is "in the loop", but in the 2nd most often directly so.
To be fair, the question of "technology readiness" addresses the problem of technology out of its usual context of experience. Here, the analogy to the systemic limits of induction is strong.

The 1997 forecast for 2002 was reasonable, rigorous, and completely wrong. One black swan — September 11 — erased every trend line. This is the rule, not the exception.

🔍 Lecture 01 — The Art of Understanding
Before we teach machines to reason, we should ask ourselves: what is knowledge, really?
This opening lecture steps back from the algorithms and starts with first principles.
It's the philosophical foundation the rest of the course is built on. Bring your curiosity. Leave your assumptions at the door.
