Will AI slop drown the Internet, and future LLMs be degraded because of the inability to verify all information available?

Happy to share my new paper with Pedro Rivera, Gerardo Febres & @cgershen.bsky.social, now published in npj Systems Biology and Applications ( @natureportfolio.nature.com )! 🔓 Our question is quite concise: can structured novelty be measured and engineered?/1 🤔👇🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This book – 15 years in the making – was possible thanks to so many people. It is certainly a collective effort. Finally, preorders are available (link below). As we learned from “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”, it is natural to avoid extremes, because a balance between them is more sustainable.

After 70 years of the "Summer of AI", how much progress there has been in the field? Where are we heading towards? New preprint with talented PhD students Mario Franco, Zeinab Davoudmanesh, Sean P. Maley, and Fernanda Sánchez-Puig.

The AI bubble probably will burst soon. Whether in weeks or months, we don't know, but the growth rate is not sustainable, and many promises that have been made will not be fulfilled.

What better way to dissolve the self than with your loved one? The melting of bodies, the sharing of minds tears the illusion apart. There is no separation. Artificial boundaries easily crumble and fall. Giving and receiving Energy increasing Leaving naked one mind.

Sobre los Límites del Estudio Científico de los Sistemas Complejos
Seminario de Sistemas Complejos, ComplexityLab, Centro de Ciencias de la Complejidad, UNAM El profesor Carlos Gershenson presentó una charla sobre los límites de la ciencia y la inteligencia artificial, explicando conceptos como complejidad, sistemas formales y las limitaciones inherentes en la predicción de fenómenos complejos. Gershenson discutió cómo los sistemas complejos presentan interacciones relevantes que limitan nuestra capacidad de predicción y modelado, usando ejemplos de matemáticas, física e inteligencia artificial para ilustrar estos conceptos. Los participantes realizaron preguntas sobre asimetrías en sistemas complejos, trampas comunes en el modelado, límites de replicabilidad y aplicaciones prácticas, a lo que Gershenson respondió con ejemplos específicos y consejos sobre cómo abordar estos desafíos en la investigación.

Call for bids: Conference on Complex Systems (CCS 2028)
The Complex Systems Society (CSS) organizes every year the Conference on Complex Systems (CCS), the flagship annual meeting of the international complexity science community. The CSS hereby invites bids to host the 2028 edition of CCS. The conference is typically held in September–October and is intended to be primarily an in-person event, in order to preserve the value of direct interaction and collective discussion that characterize CCS. Hybrid formats may nevertheless be considered in a limited form, in particular to ensure inclusivity for participants who are unable to travel. Interested organizing teams are invited to submit a proposal document outlining their bid. More at: cssociety.org
