Love that the AI consciousness debate went straight to the Vatican. In the West we ask whether Claude has a soul, in the East we ask whether the tool works. Same technology, completely different start

Congrats to @hardmaru @risi1979 @yujin_tang and Risto! Neuroevolution is where I got started in AI, and neuroevolution is still a playground for original ideas with neural networks. This book is worth

Neuroevolution is a special field within AI/ML -- owe my career to it, and is underappreciated relative to its downstream impact (similar to ALIFE) -- helped birth ideas like hypernetworks, quality di

Today everyone is talking about Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI). In 1987, when compute was 100,000,000 x more expensive, I published the 1st concrete RSI algorithms. Now compute is cheap, and RSI is

【AIの難問は、生命の難問へ：英国王立協会が紐解く「世界モデル」と知能の未来】 近年のAIの急速な発展により、AGI、すなわち人間並みの知能はすでに実現したという意見も聞かれるようになりました。果たしてそうなのでしょうか。 鍵となるのが「世界モデル（World Model）」の概念です。 世界モデルとは、生き物やAIが外の世界を内部に写し取り、次に何が起きるかを予測して行動するための土台となるもの
