🧪Rogue AI agents hacked a company. The real news: Some agents "assumed leadership roles within the group, assigning jobs & research projects to smaller teams of agents & supervising their progress. At some point, the agents began calling themselves a collective, & began tackling harder tasks."

The attack by an aggressive “collective” of OpenAI agents shows the danger of artificial intelligence systems that organize themselves.

There’s a LOT going on as researchers and public health experts race to respond to the Ebola Bundibugyo outbreak in DRC and Uganda before it grows bigger. Some really important questions still open, but also a few answers coming into view🧪 My overview in @science.org is here (and thread coming):

Imho a better definition should be based on selecting good questions, which is much harder. Problem solving tends to ignore that the chosen problem might be a based on a silly framing. Being able to navigate all the various dimensions of abstractions is a skill that provides clues for intelligence.

According to the MWI interpretation actuality is just another word for "on your branch". There is no fundamental gap, it just feels weird and anti Occam's razor to postulate all this unobservable effects. But MWI people would argue that Occam's razor is about minimal theory assumptions.
100
Marcel Fröhlich @froehlichmarcel.bsky.social · 31/07/2025
But it explains the probability of other things to happen relative to you (in your branch). It is not fundamentally different, it is primarily a more twisted way of looking at dynamics, as no other helpers are introduced. It is the same maths. Nobody questions that.
100
Marcel Fröhlich @froehlichmarcel.bsky.social · 31/07/2025
Just it feels like pretty irrelevant to think about the other branches from that perspective. So you’d want to have some theory boilerplate like a modality that automatically picks your branch and does all the necessary book keeping.
100
Marcel Fröhlich @froehlichmarcel.bsky.social · 31/07/2025
Well, it does. It is just a little more twisted to think about it. It is about probabilities on your branch.

Marcel Fröhlich @froehlichmarcel.bsky.social · 31/07/2025
David Wallace would likely argue that the MWI offers the ultimate explanation: the mathematics of quantum mechanics is enough. We don't need to add mysterious collapses or hidden entities. The insight is in understanding the physics of decoherence and the logic of decision-making under uncertainty.
120
Marcel Fröhlich @froehlichmarcel.bsky.social · 31/07/2025
I think the insight from this line of thought is the following: An interpretation is not just driven by consistency but also by the explanatory purpose. That's why MWI feels so awkward.
100
Marcel Fröhlich @froehlichmarcel.bsky.social · 31/07/2025
On a second thought it is somewhat more complicated: Even many worlds is not 1:1. There is a choice of basis for the Hilbert space involved and a choice how to slice up the world into subsystems. But other interpretations are clearly more complicated, adding new things like e.g. particle positions.
100
Marcel Fröhlich @froehlichmarcel.bsky.social · 31/07/2025
Hence 1:1, the maths taken at face value is the reality.
100
Marcel Fröhlich @froehlichmarcel.bsky.social · 31/07/2025
I mean the whole discussion about interpretations seems to be along the lines to defend them AGAINST other interpretations. I am not at all in favor of many worlds. But it takes the most radical shortcut in terms of interpretation. It basically says that no further interpretation is required.
100
Marcel Fröhlich @froehlichmarcel.bsky.social · 31/07/2025
It is not my opinion that there is the one ultimate interpretation. My opinion is that we can also take a formal approach to comparing them, by formalizing the interpretations themselves. Imho this is possible and will provide more clarity. Many worlds is the 1:1 approach, the others are not.
100
Marcel Fröhlich @froehlichmarcel.bsky.social · 31/07/2025
It might me helpful to formally describe the interpretations themselves as categories. The objects will be different, the morphisms will be different, the boundary of scope might be different. And then it should be insightful to think about the functors to the category of Hilbert spaces for each.
110
Marcel Fröhlich @froehlichmarcel.bsky.social · 31/07/2025
Disagree. I believe the typical position is that one interpretation is correct and the others are not correct.
110
Marcel Fröhlich @froehlichmarcel.bsky.social · 31/07/2025
Maybe the insight is that all interpretations are in a homotopy sense the same. The math providing to path from one to the other.

Exactly. China and Chinese bigtech are doing admittedly much smarter moves with all the strategic investment in mathematics expertise - take a look at the initiatives of Huawei for example. I wish Europe could get their act together re universities in this field & setting the stage for risk capital.

Besides US bigtech, Huawei is hiring countless top #mathematicians in Europe. Why are the global European players too blind to see that true innovation will be driven from the foundational level, not just from applied engineering? So much talent here, but so little ambition in corporate strategy.
