“If we conflate the richness of biological brains & human experience with the information-processing machinations of deepfake-boosted chatbots, or whatever the latest AI wizardry is, we do our minds, brains & bodies a grave injustice.” — @anilseth.bsky.social, winner of @berggruen.org Essay Prize

The Mythology Of Conscious AI | NOEMA

Why consciousness is more likely a property of life than of computation and why creating conscious, or even conscious-seeming AI, is a bad idea.

In cellular automata, simple rules create elaborate structures. Now researchers are working backward — starting with the result to learn the rules behind it. @georgemusser.com, SFI’s 2025 Journalism Fellow, explores how this could reshape computation and self-organization in Quanta:

In cellular automata, simple rules create elaborate structures. Now researchers can start with the structures and reverse-engineer the rules.

I love the Dijkstra quote: > The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim.

From an engineering perspective, software wants to be decoupled. From a business value perspective, software wants to be deeply interconnected. That's the fundamental friction that software design, and Domain-Driven Design specifically, attempts to address.

The article has connected some dots in my notes. Therefore, a thread🧵: filling the gap between “gravity” and “feature lift,” and how to empower product teams to make better decisions. Where domain eng. brings advantages, and how platform eng. could fit in. A story thro a data-flow perspective.

Excellent article on positioning domain engineering between product engineering and infrastructure engineering. I fully agree with the financial model section. However, I prefer to call it ‘platform engineering: the hard parts,’ simply because in the middle, we face more volatile semantics.

«The most effective response to cynicism isn’t to argue against it. It’s to build things that make it obsolete. Want to prove systems can work? Build better systems. Think people are fundamentally corrupt? Create incentive structures that reward cooperation and long-term thinking.»

We Don’t Need More Cynics. We Need More Builders.

Cynicism is the cheap seats. It’s the fast food of intellectual positions. Anyone can point at something and say it’s broken, corrupt, or…

Organisations that take advantage of this fear to squeeze more out of their people might see short-term gains but will ultimately be left behind. Now is the time to double-down and invest in fostering trust, encouraging challenge, and creating a culture of safety.
