I recommend this article about AI reasoning, where the author lets us in on his struggles w/ AI cognitive dissonance. Plus some priceless quotes from @rao2z.bsky.social. (My recommendation has *nothing* to do with the fact that I'm quoted in it too 😇) www.quantamagazine.org/is-ai-reason...

Good take on the "Moltbook" story from @benjedwards.com arstechnica.com/information-... Another good take I saw on the other site: "more of a fanfic for AGI than actual AGI". This could describe a whole lot of AI misalignment red-teaming....

A common supposition people have when disagreeing with me is that I have "an ontology." That is incorrect. When I criticize a person, it's not from the perspective of insisting on an opposite. I think refuting positions per their own logical premises is how we pare down misleading perspectives.
