The obvious thing to make a brain want is novelty. I built it, and it lost to a coin flip in seven of eight seeds. Every hour of a finite life spent somewhere new is an hour not spent getting good at something. impire.io/poseres-boo...

The honest system lands at 10 dimensions on a world whose true size is 20. Nine on 35, nine on 50. It isn't failing to find the truth. The map is not sized to the territory. It's sized to the mapmaker's budget. impire.io/poseres-boo...

The moment a score decides survival, contestants stop optimizing for the truth and start optimizing for the score. My scoreboard had four holes, then a fifth. Learning was cheap. Grading it wasn't. impire.io/poseres-boo...

PRA does not contain a model of the world. It contains a crowd of them. Each frame bets on how many knobs the world has. Nobody ever gets edited: a bad bet loses and gets evicted, what worked is left alone. impire.io/poseres-boo...

Say out loud: "I can jump across that creek." Nothing happens; your mouth doesn't check. Now actually jump. The creek checks. Why a machine that only reads is never graded by the world: impire.io/poseres-boo...

To a watcher, "the crow causes the dawn" and "the crow merely comes first" look identical. The only way to tell them apart is to keep the rooster quiet for one morning. Why a brain has to act: impire.io/poseres-boo...

In a toy world of three hidden knobs, my engine discovered three. Then I built worlds of 20, 35 and 50 knobs. It answered one, every time. It didn't crash; it failed politely, with a clean, wrong, tiny answer. impire.io/poseres-boo...

I wrote a rule to evict models that stopped earning their keep. It ran. I had written the survival bar so that the more crowded the population got, the easier survival became. It rewarded hoarding. impire.io/poseres-boo...

Nobody would accept a frozen brain in a person. It would mean hiring someone whose last day of learning was their final exam. Yet almost every machine ships that way, and nothing it meets after that changes it. impire.io/poseres-boo...

I own a robot lawnmower. Every time it sets out, it wedges itself against the same tree trunk and waits for rescue. It cannot learn: its brain was finished before it ever saw my garden. I wrote a book about the alternative. Sixteen chapters, free to read: impire.io/poseres-book/

Travelling to KubeCon is off to a bumpy start. There is a national strike tomorrow in BE so had to reschedule to leave later today. 1 UK day extra to enjoy!

@krisajenkins.bsky.social hey Kris, I’ll be at KubeCon this week, are you planning to join?
