Still an interesting read(!) from 2019 on how an #education, that is using the cueing theory results in poor readers, despite »it turns out that the ability to read words in isolation quickly and accurately is the hallmark of being a skilled reader.«

Cognitive science has taken off at British schools but hasn’t registered in the U.S. Educators blame it on America’s decentralized system and grad schools that are often hostile to research. The74million.org has more:

The latest episode of my "Theory of Change" podcast is out.
Venkatesh Rao joined me to cut through the AI hype and doomerism, exploring how large language models really work and why "mediocrity" is often the secret ingredient behind breakthroughs in evolution, technology, and the economy.

Play First 3 Games

There are no instructions. You must play the game to discover controls, rules, and goal.
ARC-3, a sneak peek at the next-gen, interactive reasoning benchmark designed to illuminate the capability gap between today's AI and tomorrow's AGI.
Interactive Reasoning Benchmarks (IRBs) test for a broad scope of capabilities:
• Exploration
• Percept -> Plan → Action
• Memory
• Goal Acquisition
• Alignment
Game Design Constraints
• Easy for humans (can pick it up in <1 min of game play)
• Core Knowledge Priors (no language, trivia, cultural symbols)
• Should require no instructions to play
• Should be fun for humans and playable in 5-10 minutes
• Innovative and novel game mechanics encouraged (Hidden state, theory of mind, long term planning, navigating other agents, etc.)

A team from the Mind, Brain and Behavior Research Center (CIMCYC, cimcyc.bsky.social) published a #programming guide aimed at students in #psychology and #cognitive #neuroscience. This evolving set of #tutorials offers a curated collection of conceptual reflections, practical examples, and methodological recommendations. The material is available in #Python, #RStats, and #MATLAB.

Reinforcement Learning starts with a simple but powerful idea:
Trial & Error. Learning what works.
The Multi-Armed Bandit problem is a first step into this world.
It's not just about slot machines. Iit's about how AI (and humans) learn to choose.
