There are a lot of great people who continue to influence my thinking about how the mind works. Go read a bunch of their work if you can. Joshua Tenenbaum Scholar profile: https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=rRJ9wTJMUB8C Joshua is a powerhouse and continues to do cutting edge research on how to build real AI. He does breadth and depth… Continue reading People who have influenced my thinking on AGI and the mind

Aspects to explore on amodel, amorphous, and abstract models
On the hunt for what is it that makes a model abstract. viewing content from different angles like cameras in a video game adding duck typing to models make every neuron or atom a model in and of its own. voting mechanisms every model used to describe every other model storing the skeleton of models… Continue reading Aspects to explore on amodel, amorphous, and abstract models

Compositional vs composable in AGI research
These 2 terms are talked often in software development, philosophy of language, and machine learning. Sometimes they are used interchangeably and I’m not sure if that is on purpose or not, but their definitions are related and similar, but with slight differences. Compositional means that the meaning of the whole expression or structure of something… Continue reading Compositional vs composable in AGI research
Use a zettelkasten to amplify your thoughts
I remember when I ran across this blog post: https://blog.kewah.com/2021/write-more-but-shorter/ Then I read this blog post: https://critter.blog/2020/10/02/write-5x-more-but-write-5x-less/ Then I researched more and found this: https://writingcooperative.com/zettelkasten-how-one-german-scholar-was-so-freakishly-productive-997e4e0ca125 And then my writing exploded. A zettelkasten is a simple writing method that amplifies your writing , memory, thoughts, research, note taking, or any non-fiction writing you may want to… Continue reading Use a zettelkasten to amplify your thoughts
My research goal
AGI is a large field. My focus is to make a meaningful contribution to AGI research. While I do believe some form of AGI will be recreated in computers one day, I think it is improbable that we will see it in our lifetimes. I believe my goal is closer and attainable. I want to… Continue reading My research goal

Examples of concepts that are grounded in the physical world
All concepts have their root in the physical world. You could say they are grounded in the real world. The concept “rough”. We first learn about the concept “rough” from touching certain physical objects like wood, sandpaper, cement, etc. “Rough” means to have uneven or irregular surface. Later, people learn to apply “rough” to things… Continue reading Examples of concepts that are grounded in the physical world
adjectives and nouns are composable
You can take any adjective and apply it to any noun and although the result may not make sense, the mind can imagine or change the meaning enough that the combination could make sense. Examples: fast dog – it can run faster than average ugly dog – looks uglier than the average dog, subjective. smart… Continue reading adjectives and nouns are composable
