R.I.P. Jane Goodall. Frans de Waal's and her work were key to my studies of animal intelligence and inspired co-founding Animal Cognition

Showing AI has failure modes is not at all the pwn or flex you think it is. A system that doesn't err, doesn't learn. It's about why it errs. Whether blunders, faulty assumptions or breakdowns due to adverserial attacks - no system will be "perfect" in the real world, embedded

Repeating, teaching or simulating teaching is indeed in the top 3 best learning methods. But the absolute nr.1 for me is formulating own ideas and frameworks to then think through how they relate to the rest. Of course that's a steep ask, but the pay off is glorious. Because it

Frameworks and libraries are meant to abstract away complexity, but most just entangle you in a web of abstraction. That’s the tension between generality and usefulness. When something that is supposed to decrease cognitive overhead becomes the cognitive overhead...run.

X payouts based on originality could be fun. Lots of lame copycats here.

I've lately been on a binge of art games, interestingly different interactive experiences and all that is deviant in gaming. And I can tell you Keeper is a work of art in every sense of the word. My friend Lee Petty's best work yet. It's a scape of environments, concepts,
