Prokopowicz @prokopowicz.bsky.social · 08/10/2026My point is that it is a choice everyone will make for themselves. And parents can make the choice for their kids, or not, as they see fit. 000
Prokopowicz @prokopowicz.bsky.social · 07/10/2026If a BlueSky post is aimed at Republican voters, does it make a sound? 000
Prokopowicz @prokopowicz.bsky.social · 05/10/2026incuriousity is sadly a hallmark of modern academia. 000
Prokopowicz @prokopowicz.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I used to think that no one really kept track of whether I was willing and able to assist in the exit row, but they do try to hold you to it! 010
Prokopowicz @prokopowicz.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I don’t listen to Krugman ever since he poo-pooed the internet as ultimately being as significant as the fax machine. My Big Fax stoxx have not done well. 000
Prokopowicz @prokopowicz.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The fraudsters in these cases are brokers getting commission and/or subsidies for fake enrollees. It is not about people enrolling and not using their ACA coverage. 000

Prokopowicz @prokopowicz.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I’ve taken plenty of linguistics - intro, computational linguistics, philosophy of language, etc. Chomsky, Wittengenstein, Quine, Kripke, etc. Turing machines don’t have stacks. Stack-based automatons recognize CFGs only, even with infinite memory. 000

Prokopowicz @prokopowicz.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I know what CFGs are. The claim that LLMs are limited to CFGs while brains are not is not coherent. 100
Prokopowicz @prokopowicz.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Our brains are finite in exactly the sense that a context window is finite. No one expects our brains to recognize and retrieve context that was too long ago or too large to store, retrieve, and process. Computational complexity is not nullified by inputs, outputs, and processes being finite. 100
Prokopowicz @prokopowicz.bsky.social · 23/09/2026AI in our lifetimes is going to reframe or outright answer a lot of philosophical questions. Consciousness Free will/autonomy Locus and continuity of self Qualia and mental states What a time to be alive! 010
Prokopowicz @prokopowicz.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Not so! In fact, the “context window” is a key element of how they operate. The context window is currently fixed-size but it is not context-free. 110
Prokopowicz @prokopowicz.bsky.social · 22/09/2026My guess is that Will, in addition to not having read all of philosophy, or any serious AI research, has not raised kids through high school. 000
Prokopowicz @prokopowicz.bsky.social · 21/09/2026It’s never too late to climb out of the communist ditch. Like alcoholism, it’s a bad path that ends up going nowhere good. 000
