François Chollet on X: "You can improve your ability to anticipate a highly uncertain future by focusing not on outcomes, but on rules. Instead of asking, "in similar situations in the past, what was the outcome?" you can ask, "in similar situations in the past, what rules have held true? what would we" / X
(Return of early AI, e.g. GPS or inference under expert systems maybe. After mathematical logic before software like LISP. This used to be about direction more important than arrival, but that light has dimmed. Now more like deontology. Machines do not have the same experience, but people would not be involved if things were not headed as intended. Would expect chat to have to figure out implied rules or intentions then in addition to goals. Yet Nature Engineering remains, e.g. to trap the demon with a tall pole. People entertain opposing views. Great for creativity and hallucination over bias. Invites artifacts as evidence ahead of science. For instance, might ask system to summarize thoughts in each of multiple languages for nuances before translation. If not compare models. Form porting systems across hardware instructions, you get back to emulation and rule sets, which beg the right research question or problem. Multidisciplinary. Comms. Cybernetics. And so on. Whether future is a path, domain, or constellation. Incidentally, one of the rules of writing was to be wary of negative generalizations and to look at specifics. Noise to truth. Yet still waiting for practical quantum to drop. To go from juggling fast methods to disproving the multiverse again.)

How to use ChatGPT to turn crypto news into trade signals
(Treats observation as binary or quantitative. Trend lines would track longer for regression, e.g. sentiment analysis. But hints at chat engine optimization for publishers who expect this. Franklin was pro/con, but took several days to cycle through virtues too. Left other paradoxes for engineering. Einstein seemed more motivated by Galileo and the observer problem as to whether something was moving or not. This could also suggest another priority matrix for decision, problem, project, or reseearch. Management of AI type stuff for agents.)

(Which side was the audience for that one? Could be seen as collaborative planning between the strategists and AI, then and now, or satire. Where the recent economic surprise from distillation split the agenda for economics, others are trying to automate the research and testing while maintaining alignment through valid elements of AGI-metry such as code regression. Tech now compensates between users and the environment of intelligence. Looking through a cybernetic lens at where , if ever, t becomes posthuman sort of begs the observer question. And who gets to host their own infrastructures if the balance of power mechanism is not intact. Researchers, too, seem to repeat history in review though they have learned from it where the machines are yet to because they can generative alternatives that are hard to disprove. One tension being whether AI falls under Data Science or in a vice-versa case, what methods it derives in addition. Whether it remains empiricist, pragmatic, materialist, etc., once it perceives the possibilities of digital or virtual domains. Whether any other substrates evidence sentience. Control of knowledge and of the world are not necessarily synonymous.)

Boston Faces Identity Crisis Amid Trump’s Cuts to University and Research Funding
(Of course, Benjamin Franklin's dialectics evolved over a lifetime from the earliest writings, pro/con method, virtues, and self-improvement, to the Revolution, after censure by the British. A different outcome than Socrates, for instance. Postmaster, whistle-blower, all as scientist. Could be seen as an inventor by the Treasury now the branch of so much international action. He did escape from Boston. English Lit was never the same. Some are wondering what a year 2075 retrospective will look like. Others whether chatbots will output a long list of examples or actually provide a perspective. Also, for tech, what improves chances of selection. Whence the soul? If Enlightenment is not obvious, and Social Science not deterministic, then might this invite another method of political and economic intelligence or analysis, after geographical, demographical, historical, horizon, scenario, PESTEL PESTLE, STEEP, or SWOT? To track or transform, beyond trade. Golden rule, irony, and poetic justice noted but aside, for now. How to get on the Reading List? Or censored therefrom.)
