(paywalled, unfortunately), #KarlFriston gets to say, once more (this time in his role as chief scientist of #VersesAI), that active inference and the #FEP will allow #AI to have true agency.

This is utter bullshit.

Agency requires #RelevanceRealization but Friston's framework cannot deal with that. You will not get true agency from that. It's sill purely about problem *solving*, not *framing*.

#KarlFriston and gang are at it again. They are formalising the notion of intelligence as "as the capacity to accumulate evidence for a generative model of one’s sensed world". In a #reinforcementlearning postulation the reward function is formulated as the need to maximize the evidence for
the agent's own generative model aka it's continued existence

On day 3 of #ScienceAdvent we would like to talk about scientific concepts we don't understand. No one gets it all, so we think it's important to acknowledge that.

For us, one of the biggest mysteries in neuroscience remains the free energy principle. Despite numerous attempts to read the scientific literature on the topic, as well as to listen to Karl Friston's talks, it seems that our brains refuse to minimize their uncertainty with respect to this.

What's something that you still don't really grasp in your field?
