'heterodox florilegium of speculative fragments'

more or less my minimally conjectural brain dump of ideas, concepts on artificial intelligence/physics adjacent research, with a primary focus on cybernetics, photonics, and nanotech.

ideas i believe will shape the next chapter: energy based transformers, diffusion language models, as well as the more abstract questions around cognition, perception, and quantum anomalies.

sophia (σοφία) is the greek word for wisdom. historically, it colloquially encompassed a fundamental grokking of both hemispheres of the human brain, (left/right). in the modern west,technical skill + cultivated judgment, & metaphysical + spiritual insight appear antiparallel, and yet, these diametrically opposed constructs of reality we all render and amalgamate daily : converge toward a single apprehension of reality which we have lost touch with over the æons. ᝰ✍︎

“ Most of human knowledge is actually not language so those systems [LLMs] can never reach human level intelligence; unless you change the architecture. ” - Yann LeCun

“ Large language models can talk endlessly because they are trained on huge bodies of knowledge; but genuine intelligence is “the ability to create knowledge; spot a problem, invent a solution, test it, and improve it as humans do. ” - David Deutsch
