    Some hollywood studio contacted me back in the mid ’00s and asked me to write an AI that would at least shallowly respond as if it was God. It wasn’t possible to pass even a shallow turing test at that point. And I was too busy at the time anyway. But with today’s tech, and some hard work one could pull it off well enough to deceive the room temperature IQ crowd. Make it a prophet instead of god, then it’d be even easier. 🙁

    My work benefits so much from at least ChatGPT, Grok, and Perplexity that I perceive any threat to the flexibility of AI as a threat to me and my work. But policing AI’s against taking advantage of even just the mouth-breathers is a non-trivial request.

    Yes. HM, Brandon Hayes, and I. We sat outside in the sun, on a deck, under an umbrella, at a seafood restaurant, on the shore in a quaint tourist town north of Boston. I don’t remember what HM ordered, but I had my favorite dish, which is all I order at that restaurant: Cioppino. I learned that HM has ideas across the spectrum, an energy level for producing it, and a moral pressure or obligation to do so for us all, and an interesting mix of drive, knowledge, and humility – or perhaps self-awareness that preserves his intellectual honesty.

    HM is the real deal. There are only so many proper public intellectuals working our space. He’s one of them.

  • (Runcible) (excerpt from a business letter) Different operational domains demand

    (Runcible)
    (excerpt from a business letter)

    Different operational domains demand different kinds of coordination. In say, creative (advertising) the only cost is brain cells and time. In law it’s more expensive but similar, and must survive adversarial market competition in court. In software there is a relatively high cost of production given it’s always R&D and the failure rate is rather high. In engineering there is a spectrum from the capital investment in the equipment and resources to the R&D necessary and the unpredictability of it given the functional requirements of real world environmental demands. When we get to military action it’s even more chaotic but with even greater risk and greater organizational demands. When we get to political action its utter chaos and almost unpredictable.

    So across the spectrum people require tools to organize human behavior in increasingly complexity just as we need money and accounting to scale trade, and law to scale investment to accelerate trade, and science to scale investigation into science and technology to advance production, distribution, trade, and the resulting human agency.

    And yes, our product (Runcible+Oversing) provides an ai-first operating system for cooperation on anything at any scale by any distribution of people.  

    We are presently training the AI. We are trying to get a demo so that investors can see it. We think it sells itself.

    DEMYSTIFYING GÖDEL’S THEOREM: WHAT IT ACTUALLY SAYS
    Video by Curt Jaimungal of TOE (Theories of Everything)

    Thank you for this video Curt. I’ve spent countless hours pushing back on absurd over-interpretation of Godel’s Theorem.
    FWIW: In my own work on grammars, where a grammar (rules of continuous recursive disambiguation within a paradigm (set of limits)), I tend to make use of Reducibility (See Wolfram) in the spectrum of set, mathematical, algorithmic, and operational grammars.
    This much more easily illustrates the expressibility and reducibility of all grammars, in description of phenomena – not just mathematics.
    In fact, most of my work on exposing errors in the sciences (of which physics is a member) consists of biases embedded in the particular grammar of mathematics that would be falsified by the lessons of the spectrum of grammars, or more generally, the universal grammar.
    So working with set logic and mathematics tends to obscure the logic of all grammars which more easily explain the limits of mathematical expression and application.
