AI researchers talk about multimodal models as if they're literally fusing a sensorium out of molecular building blocks rather than, as is actually the case, applying the same stupefying reductionism to different kinds of data then mixing them like a latent space pot noodle

“The craze with all things #quantum is not just because of its inherent weirdness. It’s motivated by a #reductionist impulse that has been animating science from Robert Hooke in the 17th century to Stephen Hawking in the 21st.”

Enjoyable video clip making the case for #holistic biology trumping #reductionist views.

What Quinn said, basically all good things are self first, others later."

If you can't help yourself you cannot help others.

Maybe astroturfing is a problem, when describing a non-AstroTurf dev cycle is considered a fresh, interesting departure from the norm.

Anyway, #AmazonSubstack is Amazon.

Yes, we are that #reductionist.
