“People can have two different inner speeches going on at the same time; one ‘in the back of their mind’ and one in the ‘front’ of their mind, about two different topics at the same time and somehow keep those things straight.... And inner voices don’t have to be in your head. They can be in your chest or outside of your body.” -- #RussHurlburt to Phil Jaekl in #NautilusMagazine https://nautil.us/i-didnt-know-my-mind-was-so-strange-until-i-started-listening-to-it-241144/

“The Dress was a really interesting case. Suddenly people realized there’s a lot of hidden variety in perceptual experience.… I think #PredictiveProcessing is going to ultimately give us something like a periodic table of experiential variation: all the neurotypical and the atypical cases and everything that lies in between, and all the variety within typical and atypical.”—from my #NautilusMagazine interview with #AndyClark https://nautil.us/reality-is-your-brains-best-guess-312269/

“If he were genuinely interested in the dissemination of truth, instead of pitching a ‘#truthbot,’ #ElonMusk should have instead asked: What does it even mean for us to know that something is true…? [To] provide a solid justification for a belief, there needs to be a transparent process for arriving there in the first place. Unfortunately, AI #chatbots present the antithesis of transparency.” https://nautil.us/ai-shouldnt-decide-whats-true-304534/ #NautilusMagazine #TruthGPT
