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…
The Human Body is a Guess Copyright 2020 by Charlie Munford We do not understand the physics controlling biological systems. If we did, we could…
This is a guest post by Kitt Johnson. Definitions Creativity = The process by which people create OUR kind of knowledge – e.g. explanations. AGI…
While reading Conjecture and Refutations (p. 333) Popper noted that initially Newtonian physics was defended from the results of the Michelson and Morley experiment —…
The Primordial Soup Four billion years ago, Earth wouldn’t have seemed very special, compared to the rest of the planets in the universe. Thankfully, Earth…
