Make Things Happen
Idea for new Black Mirror episode - everyone speaking what they actually think
August 21, 2025 at 10:10 PM
EIP and DDD come to mind as brightest but there were many many more

Having said that, I absolutely believe that every step made today gets us closer to ground-up spark, but we are still very far.

So if spark is a product of ground-up development I get it, and I believe in it.
But imposed spark - attempt to make Frankenstein alive and then expect it so live as nothing happened, - I think this is Sci-Fi story.

Now this ecosystem is not necessarily a real world, - this can be digital. In digital ecosystem with rules, given the ecosystem persists in time and has ways to reward it's agents, there can be digital evolution.

So instead of being "Artificially" imposed, - such spark must come as a necessity, as a way to solve a problem of survival, and serve ecosystem by being good citizen of energy logistics.

No logistics to self-patch, self-build, self-heal, adopt to all kinds of environmental changes (energy sources etc.), by rewriting all protocols.

This spark will vanish and decay.

Now imagine this but about AI.
Imagine we gift the spark of consciousness to some computing device.
But it has no logistics to rewrite "spark" algorithm, or decrypt protocols of it.

So eventually that device will break, and it will serve as a nice item in a museum.

But, - that civilization has no capabilities of replicating this technologies - because there is missing knowledge there.
Decades of research behind each material. Algorithms and protocols running on the device having no source code.
Etc.

Their civilization will be amazed by capabilities of the technology, true.
They will take great care of the device, and will keep it safe, true.

Again - the paper is nothing sensational, I don't see any groundbreaking work or methodology there
Most surprising in all this is that anyone in the world even considered that statistical model can "reason" the same way we do, and that this is seriously discussed.

To be honest, I don't get why this paper is so popular on social media.
A lot of famous people are sharing it second day with text similar to "Haha I told you".
I read the paper twice. They ask the model questions and observe collapsing behavior.
We - the users observe this daily.

It rains only a few times a year in SoCal, and when it does, it's the best sound to fall asleep to.

Maybe what we "see" in our heads, it not necessarily what our eyes see.

Who knows - maybe humans save some computation too, and what we "see" in our heads, it not necessarily what is ingested by our eyes.

Again, big fan of how UT MSDS program staff chooses projects for HWs. So much learning packed into seemingly so simple project.

And finally up convolutions scale image gradually back, but again the scale it reconstructed back from those POVs - feature extraction channels, meaning scaled-up image now has influence from "subjective bias" - trained weights in those channels.

Many down convolutions combine-multiply the number of POVs. So after the cascade of these we have many many "parallel realities"-POVs but very low resolution.

I personally think of this as a way of extracting some information from the image in one specific way.
So when down convolution increases number of channels - it increases # of POVs of looking at the image with each channel trying to extract some important insight differently from others
