In three previous posts (here, here, and here) we talked about animal learning, particularly classical conditioning. However, some animals display complex abilities to learn that…

Ideas and Implications In his 1990 talk “The Myth of the Standpoint” Karl Popper said: …the correct method of critical discussion is: What are the…
Is the study of Artificial General Intelligence identical to the study of consciousness? The word “consciousness” is bantered about as if it’s a specific thing.…
Dennis Hackethal has proposed a theory he calls “The Neo-Darwinian Theory of the Mind”, which is intended to be a low-level explanation of how intelligent…
I wrote a post asking if humans had ‘inductive biases’ in the same sense that machine learning algorithms do. My conclusion was that they do…
In a past post, I made the claim that Induction was subsumed by Critical Rationalism and that all cases of induction ‘working’ are really cases…
In the last episode, we showed that Artificial General Intelligence was possible according to the laws of physics. This episode is part 1 of a…
Part 3 of our series on Computational Theory. Using the theory we’ve built up, we now prove that Artificial General Intelligence is possible due to…
Computational Theory is possibly the most underrated of all scientific theories. In fact, most scientists think of it as a branch of mathematics rather than…
“ImageNet-Trained CNNs are Biased Towards Texture; Increasing Shape Bias Improves Accuracy and Robustness” (link) by Robert Geirhos, et al explores two proposed theories about how…
