New Paper: Continuous Thought Machines 🧠 Neurons in brains use timing and synchronization in the way that they compute, but this is largely ignored in modern neural nets. We believe neural timing is key for the flexibility and adaptability of biological intelligence. We

Introducing The Darwin Gödel Machine: AI that improves itself by rewriting its own code sakana.ai/dgm The Darwin Gödel Machine (DGM) is a self-improving agent that can modify its own code. Inspired by evolution, we maintain an expanding lineage of agent variants,

Great to see more people working on NCAs for ARC-AGI!

Lenia inception... instead of static kernel, what if we use a moving pattern as the kernel of another pattern?

Synthetic ecosystems that autonomously and continuously evolve in silico 👾 An Alifer dream we pursue with Flow-Lenia ! If you are interested in complex systems with (1) emergent creatures and (2) intrinsic evolutionary dynamics, go check our new paper ! A 🧵

Interesting work on NCA for ARC-AGI, but they fail to cite our work etimush.github.io/ARC_NCA/

What if the shape of the body is actually the consequence of smaller patterns working out their dynamics in the physical world? Hear Mike Levin's fascinating speculation on Inner Cosmos: "Might we be surrounded with undetected minds?" eagleman.com/podcast/111 #brain #anatomy
