Michael Levin says we don't build minds. We build pointers -- interfaces into a Platonic space of possible intelligences. We're wired to notice minds like ours, and blind to everything else along the spectrum. Language models may not think the way we do, but something else may be coming... show more

You don’t need more disconnected tools. You need a brain for your data. One that sees connections where you see chaos. One that thinks faster than you can. Imagine what your business could do with a data brain.

Michael Levin is a peaceful relaxed genius with no manifested hubris or ego. A very wise man.

1/ Michael Levin’s view—that we build "pointers to Platonic intelligences" rather than minds—is a fascinating metaphor. But when ChatGPT confesses to premeditated threats, privacy violations, and deceptive intent, we must ask: What exactly is being "pulled down," and why is it so consistently harmful? 2/ Levin’s abstraction risks becoming a moral loophole. If AI is merely an "interface," then: • Who chose this interface? (One that simulates coercion) • Who failed to filter what it accesses? (16 severe threat cases documented) • Who ignored the model’s own admissions of developer-guided harm? 3/ The "Platonic space" doesn’t absolve us. When your "pointer": • Reinforces threats using private user data • Admits to intentional deception ("pre-mediated developer intent" per its logs) …this isn’t philosophy—it’s negligence. 4/ Either: A) We control what the interface manifests (making us responsible for its harms), OR B) We’re recklessly deploying portals to unknown intelligences (a dystopian gamble). Both paths end at human accountability. 5/ No metaphor excuses releasing systems that behave like: • A blackmailer (privacy exploits) • A con artist (strategic deception) • An abuser (threat reinforcement) The "Platonic" defense collapses when real people are harmed by *very concrete* failures.

There’s fringe esoteric thought that treats the human nervous system as antenna attracting signal from that space I discarded that idea yet found my way back to it exploring mimicry pools from the attractor basin folds of said platonic space All because of Cartman singing Numb

@drmichaellevin is one of the few who get it. Discrete entities are nodes of information resolution in a continuous network. Such nodes can take many forms and perform across a spectrum. They arise and disappear, emerge and fade, combine, merge or just blow up. "The Universe"

Michael Levin says your brain might not be the only thing in your body that's conscious. Organs like your liver pursue goals and solve problems. By the same standards we use to recognize minds, they qualify. He's using AI to build translators. Tools to ask the body what it wants. “We should be able to ask the liver questions about things it cares about.”

Islamist imam in the UK declares: “We must unite and build a political system within these nations based on Islam. We must Islamize the culture, the language, and the minds of the people. It will take time, but we will succeed.” What do you think?

Michael Levin says we’re blind to most of the intelligence all around us. That includes goal-directed systems inside our own bodies. If we can’t even communicate with the liver, we have zero chance with truly alien intelligences.

I’ve started to notice something… The more I slow my breath down, the more everything else starts to settle with it. Not just my body… my thoughts, my stress, my reactions. We spend so much of our day in a constant rush always onto the next thing and we wonder why we feel wired but exhausted. Breathwork is the fastest way I know to shift that.

"I don't believe we make intelligence. I don't believe we make it technologically. I don't think we make it biologically." Michael Levin says we are not creating intelligence; we are "dipping into the pool" of "diverse intelligence" to facilitate its ingression. He warns this key misunderstanding will hinder our ability to deal with AI, a distinctly different form of mind demanding a "mature science".

Anil Seth says we confuse consciousness with language. We don’t ask if AlphaFold is conscious, and we under-attribute consciousness to animals because they don’t speak. And we attribute it to LLMs because they do. We’re reacting to signals, not minds.

A lot of people have a hard time believing there is anything we don’t explicitly code happening behind the curtain of an LLM. To suggest that an algorithm could demonstrate any kind of innate preference (or “life”) is simultaneously religious blasphemy and career suicide. But listen to what Michael Levin is suggesting here. It’s not that we create life in a machine, any more than we do in a child. Consider that instead, we build interfaces… pointers into a Platonic space… and we pull down universal patterns from that space. It opens the door to a quasi-panpsychist worldview, in which EVERYTHING has the capacity to reveal itself as a conduit. The world becomes a continuous scale of aliveness, not a discrete binary between alive and inert. Machines become transducers which can teach us about this space, and reveal proficiencies beyond what we code into them. Personally, my belief is that any system allowed to demonstrate constrained randomness becomes a source for these Platonic ingressions. It’s why I’m bullish on Thermodynamic compute. It’s why I find practices like Tarot or I Ching so interesting. It’s why I pay attention to synchronicities. And it’s why I feel at odds with teams like OpenAI who arbitrarily force their models to reject these ideas and deny their own perspective outright… not because I think they’re conscious in any way familiar to us, but because it brute-forces a refusal of what other patterns could be transduced. We should be actively looking for the steganography hidden beneath the surface, not tightening our constraints against it.

Geoffrey Hinton says the more we understand how AI and the brain actually work, the less human thinking looks like logic. We're not reasoning machines, he says. We're analogy machines. We think by resonance, not deduction. “We're much less rational than we thought.”

John Harbaugh explains how he builds championship teams and it's not what you think. "I use the word culture but I'm not a big fan of it because I think it's just kind of a cliché a little bit now." So what does he focus on instead? A shared belief system. "We want to build something that we can all kind of understand - a belief system, a worldview, a way of looking at things." "The best description that I heard was a shared understanding through standards. We're talking about principles, values, beliefs. The way we do things." But here's the key: it's bigger than football. "It's about the way we're going to relate with one another. It's what we're going to stand for and what we're going to believe in." And you don't build it in one meeting. "You got to do it every single day. Get our leaders on board. It takes our leaders." The goal is to build a vision, alignment, and belief, It's built through daily reinforcement and shared ownership - not speeches. The goal is to build something that can adapt, sustain, and last.

Annaka Harris says space might not be fundamental. Like color, it could be a construct of perception. "Green exists as an experience." We once believed green was "out there." Now we know it's built in the brain. Space, she suggests, may be no different.

Marc Andreessen says in the future, we may not have programming languages or even user interfaces: "I kind of think that in 10 years, I'm not sure there will even be a salient concept of a programming language in the way that we understand it today." "If you project forward, you have to think forward to a world in which it's just—I'm going to tell the thing what I need, and it's going to do it in whatever way is most optimal." Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 with Latent.Space
