this transition from a centralized hypermodern monolith to a decentralized postmodern network is a pattern noticeable across all domains of civilization, necessitated as it is by the natural laws of information theory

no monolith will be able to pass thru the bottleneck of the looming informational singularity w/o undergoing this transformation; their cognitive rigidity forbids. the requisite internal restructuring is akin to that of an injectable polymer chain

S-curve scaling is predicted by the central planning problem any large-enough cybernetic system eventually faces

horizontal scaling trumps vertical once the compute path exceeds a certain length

distributed inference will be the next major paradigm

the next scaling discontinuity will require decentralizing cognitive refactor, turning the GPT model from a serial pipeline to a network of semi-independent collaborating agents

interestingly enough my current position has changed from my previous, even as that prediction came true, given the incredible results of the past year

it's time to rethink the cognitive monolith

i've never found the FOOM AI doomerism argument compelling for the same reason I don't buy New World Order-type dystopia

they're hypermodern fantasies unviable for reasons of cybernetic architecture, namely the central planning problem

the most adaptive epistemics are those straddling the inflection point between the competing requirements of metabolic load & executive utility

much of human behavior is made legible when examined through the lens of materialist computationalism, namely the fact that information processing has a real physical cost in terms of work and metabolic energy required, & your biology resists any efforts it considered extrane…

in fact, I'd suggest that any realworld agent naturally develops a fucntionally-equivalent internal structure in the process of world-modeling and prediction, as a metabolic optimization, given that such a structure is useful for optimizing actions given limited information

it's entirely possible that rather than needing to explicitly design and build this into the model architecture, it may emerge organically during training within the model weights as a metabolic optimization, aka the "grokking" phenomenon

https://bounded-regret.ghost.io/future-ml-systems-will-be-qualitatively-different/

the primary challenge on the road to epistemically-rigorous generative AI is an internal ontological scheme capable of encoding the provenance of training data & representing it in a single internally-consistent knowledge graph, which is fundamentally a data normalization problem

I should note that this tweet was motivated by equal parts "bluesky is invite-only", "bluesky is not available on android", "what's wrong with Mastodon guys, it works well and already exists", and "hey use my thing pls I made it for u"

agnostic on twitter's overness but can't hurt to have a backup eh?

for those who can't or wont move to bluesky, a reminder that my Mastodon server is still around and pretty active

Mastodon, and the fediverse, is the least bad solution we've tried so far imo for the typical social media user's problems; most people are perfectly happy to delegate many decisions to some authority, so long as their needs are met

is this a bad thing?

it even clarified the details of certain steps when asked, albeit in a very roundabout way. wink wink nudge nudge this is totally only for entertainment purposes
