Does anyone have David's alternate contacts (DM me?) I was really fond of his ideas around fighting fake news and wanted to talk to him about how what I was describing can be implemented with quadratic voting. https://t.co/MSzPmuXYKX
I was describing a system where confidence is considered as an aspect of voting to emulate some animal based dynamic voting systems and applying it to web-of-trust networks and costly signaling. https://t.co/5U9p5ktPtM
They seem to be marking as they explore the room. They mark more once they are confident there isn't any more food - time dependent; seems to reflect their 'curiosity' (how often they sniff & stand on back feet)Turns out this is relatively novel behavior?https://t.co/RHOsaZ39l4 https://t.co/ClPQosjn1R
Something fun here that I can't quite put into words. I'm sad that my DMs are lost when an account gets suspended.https://t.co/XMuMQ3z2zC
Prediction markets meet swarm oriented network cognition?https://t.co/2r6T7AreiF
I believe it was @Trive_News. It was neat because their model had inherently baked in positive and negative signaling into their vetting system. it reminds me of spiking neuron systems and analogs to ants.https://t.co/Y0s5Bmj9ct
The quadratic voting method may be a way to impose a signal strength... encoding a confidence value that is missing in all the naĂŻve swarm based systems I find on the market.https://t.co/9BaD0dm325
Our systems are built on myths of the ability to verify knowledge.https://t.co/doezxogTMU
Aha ha!Gettier cases and justified true belief.https://t.co/gWy9ylZhbH

All manifolds are wrong, but some are currently in a minimal state of Von Neumann Entropy.https://t.co/eWaIthAuHFhttps://t.co/FHbcQlkQOk

I'm shitposting about quantum mechanics as it relates to the nature of axioms of knowledge and the nature of knowability.https://t.co/hsFai1SbaA
Do you even compute with quantum vibrations within the surface of a 4 dimensional manifold as a meta model of stochastic simulations applied to an information/entropic model meme space-time?https://t.co/RfqMHRncCb
Light is a quantum phenomena, you have to add up all the facets together to collapse the resulting angle of deflection. Each facet is a vote. A probability distribution.https://t.co/psPwMrteyy
Information, memes, light, quantum ants on a manifold... They take ALL POSSIBLE PATHS at once and decide which one minimizes entropy by how they interfere with each other.https://t.co/YnJm0bLCwG
"In the 1920s, too, von Neumann wrestled into sync two competing approaches to quantum mechanics, the emerging, probabilistic science of how energy and matter acted at the subatomic level." https://t.co/jDEwhNH5xYhttps://t.co/TciZyuJguv

@architectonyx @tszzl Bacteria and viruses listen in to each other via sound waves and trees sneeze them both into air to create nucleation sites for rain.There's an entire field using this to target mammalian cells known as "sonogenetics".TL;DR: they are communicating like a distributed organism.
