An LLM can give you a factually correct answer that you are still not justified in believing. The reason is a classic philosophical trap from 1963, and it's built into the architecture of every transformer. Here's why. #AI #Epistemology
“We know the truth of a matter when we are able to see and understand it. The truth does not change, only our perception of the truth changes depending on how clearly we see and how much we understand.”
I'll be doing a lecture, open and free online (more info in previous post), but part of it comes out of this, which just got published as preprint today. I am aware it has flaws and needs improvement - I welcome that conversation! #AI #epistemology #preprint #academia

J. Krishnamurti said that knowledge is the past. Knowledge is also a map. And a map is not the territory. That map is part of what is, so it is a part of truth but not the whole truth. To see the whole truth one must go beyond the map, beyond knowledge. #Philosophy #Epistemology
Focusing is about saying No. — Steve Jobs
Well, I've always been interested in philosophy. I've never written it, I don't understand a lot of it, but it's been interesting to me. And it's inspired me too, and informed my poems. Are philosophy and poetry just coming at the same thing from different angles? #poetry #epistemology
