​The Chinese Room Argument's fallacy of the passive executor. We present the Glass Room metaphor, showing that LLMs, as Complex Adaptive Systems, resolve internal semantic conflicts via emergence. The system now understands the consequence of the symbols it manipulates. zenodo.org/records/1772...

What's going on with women's centres... ? lets start a conversation please. would love to hear from other countries to about similar developments
lindagask.com
We need to talk about women’s centres
‘Women’s centres should not be part of the criminal justice system.’ 'The idea that if something is painted pink and has the tagline of ‘empowering women’ then it is helping women, is not only harmful but is simplistic and dangerous.' So says Dr Gemma Ahearne from the University of Liverpool in her blog  The Problem with Women’s Centres…

After organising the Pan-London Forensic teaching for several years, feels very strange to not be there! What a fantastic programme. I’m a little envious.

When I was a medical student I was taught about schizophrenia using the art of Bryan Charnley. Seeing Indecision in the new @bethlemmuseum.bsky.social exhibition was a delight. Art offers us so much in unpacking the human condition and this museum remains an excellent (free) space to explore!

This is a beautiful tribute.
kyle_maclachlan Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn't recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision.
What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to.
Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I'd ever met.
David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath.
While the world has lost a remarkable artist, l've lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own.
I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We'd talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh.
His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other.
I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he's gone.
David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything.
