📖From The Borrowed Mind... "When we learn, we place ourselves onto a map of knowledge. In books, the connections between words and ideas are fixed and printed as static representations of knowledge packaged into accepted systems. The path is predetermined. You start with arithmetic, move to algebra, then calculus, then whatever follows. The route is locked before you arrive. Large language models reconstruct the fabric of language so that knowledge is no longer a fixed map but a dynamic web. “Dynamic” means constantly changing, while “web” refers to how it builds itself around the learner. This is user-centricity and learn- er-centricity in their truest form." https://t.co/D7TcstgnY1 #AI #education #learning #LLMs
AI replacing radiologists? @ShafiAhmed5 and I go at. A provocatively playful discussion... https://t.co/3MejjtUgSa #AI #radiology #medicine #digitalhealth https://t.co/GMj9HigoAI
Indeed. This is the essence of anti-intelligence. AI doesn’t extend human cognition, it departs from it. At times it outperforms us. At times it falls short. But those comparisons miss the deeper point. AI operates in a different geometry altogether—one that doesn’t...
🤔Is escape velocity even possible anymore ? 🍥 LLMs and the Specter of the Cognitive Black Hole https://t.co/BcoWhdiXbr
From The Borrowed Mind... "An LLM creates a reality so vast that parts of it may not be fit for human consumption. I keep reaching for a phrase to describe this. Round square-ness. Barely articulable. Impossible to fully imagine. You can...
🤔Is AI making Plato’s old suspicion about writing feel new again? https://t.co/XebP7NKNXe #AI #philosophy #cognition
I agree that handwriting kindles thought. And I also believe that LLMs can suppress thought by arriving at the answer quickly. However, the iterative dynamic of an LLM can offer an extraordinary opportunity to drive a unique and powerful "learner-centric"...
🧠Whose Mind Is It Anyway? (How AI is making thinking feel easier...and less our own.) 📌Artificial intelligence (AI) completes our thoughts, blurring correctness with content. 📌AI's assistance can shift into influence on our beliefs and actions. 📌Decreasing "cognitive friction" may weaken our judgment...
LLMs can write. The prose is often smooth and the structure is darn convincing. And when language can be generated that easily and at that scale, writing begins to lose some of what made it feel substantial in the first...
Yes--and here it's essence of this idea today. The Borrowed Mind: Reclaiming Human Thought in the Age of AI. https://t.co/i6NfSmqTlI @pmarca
This is an important insight. AI does not seek an answer. It seeks to complete a pattern and operates under the "techno assumption" that a this answer already exists. https://t.co/xSStNmwZk3
Interesting. I wonder if decreased motility is associated with other abnormalities? Could decreased motility be "nature's way" of limiting conception?
A nice early moment for The Borrowed Mind. 👉The book is currently #1 New Release in Cognitive Psychology on Kindle and climbing in Epistemology. 🙏Thank you to everyone helping this conversation about AI and human thought get started. https://t.co/D7TcstgnY1
When Writing Becomes Detached From Thought 📌AI weakens writing as proof of thought. 📌Words can look wise without a mind behind them. 📌Human speech may regain value as thought made visible. https://t.co/XebP7NKNXe
🚨COGNITION as a COMMODITY Here's a clip of Sam Altman describing a future in which intelligence becomes a utility that can be sold like electricity or water on a meter. To me, it was a striking comment, and I understand the...
