The Gears Haven’t Changed What Mike Tomasello Taught Me about AI

Mike Tomasello gave a talk to our Emergentism, Ecosystem and Expertise talk series. It was about how human language and animal language differ.

Then the topic of AI came up. It turns out that AI may not be as artificial as we thought it was.

The Ghost in the Machine Is Anglo-Saxon Trump’s Thousand-Year War on Language Is a War on Science

@sarahlkaufman.bsky.social and her essay at the @nytimes.com was thought provoking.

The writings of @sarahlkaufman.bsky.social, @holdenthorp.bsky.social, @science.org, The Strategic Linguist and @samillingworth.com got me thinking.

Here is what came out:

This week I published an essay that Psychology Today named it an Essential Read. I attended the US Clay Courts. Then I won second place in my own tournament -- after three third-place finishes.

Language and tennis. Mastery converges when you least expect it.

The Brain Beneath the Label The same brain systems that shape how we learn language may also influence vulnerability to psychosis.

Many years ago, we published work linking dopamine to bilingualism. Yesterday's post from @MichaelHalassa finally gave me the clarity to understand it.

The Cost of Building Outside the System On networks, exile, and the thirty-year proof

People can close the door on you but they cannot stop you from building your own house. @lauriesantos.bsky.social @katymilkman.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/arturoh/...

In the tariff case, it could be said there is also a potential, for example, ability to sue (act), that the environment supports or suppresses. In the case of social environments, however there strong feedback loops between actor and environment, these are weaker in the moth case (seemingly).

I find this interesting, but the link between mechanisms is not so clear. In the case of the moths, the implication is that moths of light and dark are always born, but the environment defines survival. Generically, each color represents an information potential with varying dynamic potential.

I’ve been thinking about the connections too. Your comment is making me think more. Maybe it’s the change across dynamic states. Still thinking…

Struggling to make ends meet, UH grad students call on university to cover healthcare premiums Peer institutions like the University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University subsidize health coverage for their teaching and research assistants who are U.S. citizens.

Huge investments in infrastructure but not in the human kind. Grad students are noticing. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Is AI Killing Jobs? Or Are We Letting the Wrong Story Take Over? On Monday, Education Innovation and Technology at the University of Houston hosted a one-day conference on the Future of Work with AI.

Is AI really killing jobs?

Unemployment risk for AI-exposed workers rose before ChatGPT — tracking 2022 rate hikes and post-COVID corrections.

He assigned reading, then had them write in class. No take-home writing.
He's right kids read less. But 7 hrs school + 5 hrs homework nightly? I'd avoid extra work in high school too.
We ask them to memorize. They do until they don't.
