1. We ( @jbakcoleman.bsky.social, @cailinmeister.bsky.social, @jevinwest.bsky.social, and I) have a new preprint up on the arXiv.

There we explore how social media companies and other online information technology firms are able to manipulate scientific research about the effects of their products.

My AGI 2025 talk on “Subjectivity Via Self-Simulation” is online at youtu.be/WtWfmBujxxU?.... I had a blast, thanks to all the organisers (esp. Hikari Sorensen, @mitibennett.bsky.social and Leonard Eberding) for pulling off a great event.

Great day at Machine Consciousness workshop, although sad to miss Interpretable Natural Language -- something I know nil about but sounds super-interesting. aigents.github.io/inlp/ Highlight of the day was still discovering @mitibennett.bsky.social quietly playing Chris de Burgh on the piano.

Introducing The Darwin Gödel Machine

sakana.ai/dgm

The Darwin Gödel Machine is a self-improving agent that can modify its own code. Inspired by evolution, we maintain an expanding lineage of agent variants, allowing for open-ended exploration of the vast design space of such self-improving agents.

What’s wrong about IIT is closely related to what’s wrong about the Hard Problem. There is no Hard Problem of consciousness that science needs to solve. Science only needs to explain why it seems like there’s a Hard Problem. But that’s a non-Hard problem, by definition.
