Decarbonisation? Physically impossible. Endless wars? Suicidal. Our Substack, by #WisdomCouncil Member @JobstLandgrebe calls out the executive class’s dangerous agenda and demands a return to rationalism. Don’t miss this deep dive into the West’s crisis.

From cultural decay to fertility collapse, the West is at a crossroads. #UniteTheKingdom’s staggering turnout proves we’re ready to act. @JobstLandgrebe's latest article for #TheTruthContract's #WisdomCouncil talks to restoring #justice #wisdom and #courage to shape a new. Join

The “blob” wages war on us, free speech crushed, borders ignored! #UniteTheKingdom’s millions proved we’re not done. TTC #WisdomCouncil invites bold leaders to rebuild the West, in an age of decline. Will you answer the call? Read article now by @JobstLandgrebe!

This might be interesting for those who think that something is wrong with the West:

LLM are one of the biggest tech bubbles ever, really a fraud scheme targeting those who confound marketing language with reality.

M. Buber was a famous Jewish philosopher who developed a theory of "I and Thou" in the 1920s. Proudfoot believes that such a relation could form between man and machines (running AI: https://t.co/r3f338InB3). This is of course impossible since machines will never be conscious.

The sobering reality of robo football, two key findings: No active perception, no real intersubjective collaboration. Both impossible to engineer.

Darpa wants to model and predict human collective behaviour. This is an old dream of ruling classes for which the Romans used the haruspex. What Darpa plans is of similar effectiveness since mathematical models will miserably fail at that task.

We won't have freely moving humanoid robots since we cannot configure the reaction to an open world environment. Watch this one to appreciate the state of the art:

My co-author Barry Smith made a video describing the second edition of our AI book describing the absolute limits of AI:

New interview with me on AI and transhumanism: https://t.co/34hdcWtAiW with some new aspects.

o3 GPT can do well on all parts of IQ tests which resemble its training distributions. It can never do anything that falls outside it. Yet intelligence is the ability to deal with novel situations sponateneously and adequately without prior training. see

Gary Marcus sees clearly that ML (Sora) cannot learn physics as humans can. The reason is, of course, that the human mind is not a clean slate when we are born, but that we have innate mechanisms to process the world which enable our survival. We cannot endow these to machines.

The confuse the generation of symbol chains without meaning to the generating machine with scheming. Scheming requires consciousness and a will. ML algorithms are no autonomous actors, they only act in narrow contexts determined by the training data.

Machines cannot have goals, which are the expression of a person. We cannot emulate the person, and certainly machines cannot "scheme".

My friend and co-authors Barry Smith talking about AI and Virtual reality using material from the upcoming second edition of our book "Why machines will never rule the world".

The more insightful AI research colleagues believe that AI will not learn how to conduct dialogues because of too little training material: https://t.co/veN8KzGrYw They do not realise that language production is non-ergodic, so that training data amounts do not matter.

While this is to a large extent correct: https://t.co/rSOdTy15lu to get more details and a more comprehensive argument see our book "Why machines will never rule the world" (2n ed. in prep)

Our book on the fundamental impossibility of AI is getting more traction:

Some use the Church Turing Deutsch Thesis ("a universal computing device can simulate every physical process.") to support the possibility of AI. But quantum physics fails at many aspects of reality. Deutsch overestimates physics.
