@beffjezos it's such a cool thing for our little community that I know exactly where you are from this pic

Stephen Wolfram: the subspace of images for which we have words for is exponentially tiny

Our brains work very hard to serialize our experience that is highly parallel into a single thread

@beffjezos @CIMCAI @stephen_wolfram Aw, I'm sad he was only there virtually.

Stephen Wolfram educating everyone @CIMCAI on computational irreducibility Wolfram: we can't reduce complex systems that obey simple rules to laws that allow us to predict emergent behavior This is why mech interp fails and we cannot guarantee control over complex AI systems
