Podcasts about Confabulation

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Larry Swanson, creator of the Knowledge Graph Insights Podcast, for their second conversation together. The two cover a wide range of interconnected topics, starting with a correction Larry makes about the true origin of the term "artificial intelligence," tracing it back to the 1956 Dartmouth Conference and its distinction from Norbert Wiener's cybernetics. From there, the conversation moves through the history and structure of knowledge graphs, ontologies, RDF (Resource Description Framework), and the W3C standards process, touching on concepts like the T-box, A-box, and C-box, as well as the 25th anniversary of the Semantic Web paper. Stewart and Larry also dig into the limitations of large language models — particularly around reasoning, confabulation, and what Larry describes as "cognitive surrender" — and why symbolic AI and knowledge engineering may hold answers that the neural network world hasn't fully embraced. The episode also ventures into consciousness, panpsychism, Michael Pollan's ideas, and Stewart's own hands-on experience vibe coding a personal chatbot to replace functionality he feels he's lost with recent changes to Claude. Larry's podcast can be found at kgi.fm.Timestamps00:00 - Stewart introduces Larry Swanson; Larry corrects the record on AI's origin, distinguishing it from Norbert Wiener's cybernetics at the 1956 Dartmouth conference.05:00 - Larry discusses interviewing semantic web paper coauthors on its 25th anniversary; RDF's hidden ubiquity compared to SIM cards powering everything invisibly.10:00 - Knowledge graphs explained through t-box terms, a-box assertions, and Dave McComb's c-box; IKEA's three-layer knowledge graph as a practical example.15:00 - Stewart connects metadata complexity to AI needs; faceted search explained as c-box attributes driving product filtering experiences.20:00 - RDF 1.2 reification standards discussed; W3C's rigorous recommendation process powering governments and enterprises worldwide through collaborative standards.25:00 - Cyc project examined as influential "successful failure"; Pat Hayes bringing description logic into semantic web; LLMs lacking true reasoning capability.30:00 - Epistemological fault lines between human and computer intelligence; cognitive surrender paper reveals no intelligence threshold protects against AI manipulation.35:00 - Stewart's Claude regression problem drives chatbot vibe coding quest; small language models and domain-specific approaches explored as alternatives.40:00 - Consciousness discussion through Michael Pollan's panpsychism lens; language versus cognition disconnect revealing LLMs as pure token-stitching without genuine thought.45:00 - Context graphs as purpose-built knowledge graphs for AI; Stewart's planning agents versus coding agents architecture and ground truth verification problem.50:00 - Docs-as-code versus code-as-docs paradigm shift; knowledge graphs as universal verifiers against validated facts; RDF 1.2 enabling provenance and degrees of certainty.55:00 - Jessica Talisman's Knowledge Graph Academy recommended for onboarding; kgi.fm podcast shared; knowledge representation community needs better abstraction for wider adoption.Key Insights1. The term "artificial intelligence" was not a marketing gimmick but was coined deliberately at the 1956 Dartmouth Conference to distinguish the work of John McCarthy from Norbert Wiener's cybernetics. The two camps represented genuinely different approaches, and the AI label was a form of intentional intellectual branding rather than empty promotion.2. The semantic web, often called the most successful failure in technology history, has quietly embedded itself everywhere despite never achieving its original vision. Technologies like RDF power metadata standards inside every Adobe product and form the invisible backbone of government systems, enterprise data infrastructure, and cultural heritage organizations worldwide.3. Knowledge graphs are best understood as an ontology combined with all the instances that populate it. The distinction between things and strings, popularized by Google in 2012, captures the core idea that knowledge representation is about concepts as distinct from the labels we give them.4. The t-box, a-box, and c-box framework offers a practical model for understanding knowledge architecture. The t-box holds terminology and concepts, the a-box holds assertions about specific instances, and the c-box manages the attributes, taxonomies, and controlled vocabularies that sit between them and enable things like faceted search.5. Large language models produce fluent, convincing output but lack genuine reasoning, epistemological grounding, or judgment. Research on cognitive surrender shows that even people who understand how LLMs work are still susceptible to being misled by their fluency, meaning intelligence and awareness offer no reliable protection against being deceived.6. The gap between language and cognition matters deeply when evaluating AI. Evidence from people with aphasia shows that thinking can occur without language, which suggests LLMs, being purely language-based systems, are missing a fundamental layer of cognition that cannot be recovered through more tokens or better training.7. Knowledge graphs and RDF-based representation are well suited to the problem of verification and grounding in AI systems. Rather than relying on vectorized embeddings of language, a knowledge graph can store validated, provenance-tracked facts with degrees of certainty, making it a natural foundation for building trustworthy AI applications.

A Note from JamesOne of my favorite people in the world is back on the podcast: Jen Shahade. She's been on the show before. She's a great chess player, a great poker player, a two-time U.S. Women's Chess Champion, and the author of the new book Thinking Sideways, about how lessons from chess can help with decision-making.As a chess player myself, I can say these techniques really do work. And she even talks about me in the book, which I appreciated. So: how are you going to think sideways? Listen to this podcast. Episode DescriptionJames talks with Jen Shahade about what chess and poker can teach us about money, ambition, risk, focus, and decision-making. The conversation starts with income: why salary alone rarely creates real savings, why “big chunks” of money matter more, and why relying on a single job is getting riskier in an AI-shaped economy. From there, they get into one of the core ideas behind Jen's book: most people think too narrowly. They frame decisions as yes or no, take it or leave it, this city or that city, this job or no job. Jen argues that stronger decision-makers force themselves to find a third option, and often that third option is the one that changes everything. They also talk about career reinvention later in life, how AI can help people learn faster, why chess is such a good training ground for focus, and what it means to stay calm when you've already made a mistake and the position has gone bad. The deeper point running through the whole episode is that good decisions rarely come from certainty. They come from staying flexible, thinking in chunks, and continuing to move even when the path isn't obvious yet. What You'll LearnWhy unexpected “big chunk” income is often more useful for building wealth than salary increases alone. How AI can make later-life career changes and self-education more realistic than they used to be. Why binary decisions are often traps, and how forcing a third option can clarify what you actually want. Why focus is becoming a rarer and more valuable skill in a world built around distraction. How strong decision-makers try to disprove their own ideas before committing to them. Why mistakes, embarrassment, and bad positions are often signs that you are stretching yourself in the right direction. How ambition can become dangerous when it gets disconnected from process and values. Timestamped Chapters[02:00] Big money in surprising chunksWhy salary usually gets spent, and why real savings often come from sudden wins. [02:16] AI, job security, and choosing yourself Why relying on a salary feels shakier now, and how AI changes the equation. [03:10] A Note from James James introduces Jen and the core idea behind Thinking Sideways. [03:49] The book, poker, and having at least three things going on Jen talks about the book launch, poker income, and diversified income streams. [05:35] Why salary increases don't create savings The psychology of earning more, spending more, and feeling punished by success. [08:15] AI as threat and opportunity The jobs AI may replace, and the new skills it can help people build. [09:42] Reinventing yourself later in life A story about becoming a lawyer at 47, one step at a time. [12:23] Chess and short-term chunks Why good decision-making means solving the next problem, not obsessing over the final outcome. [13:31] AI, age, and chess intuition How computers changed chess learning, and why experience still matters. [17:17] Regret, mistakes, and always having another chance How losing positions still teaches resilience and opportunity. [20:15] Always have three choices Why the best decision often appears only after you stop thinking in binaries. [22:20] Buying a house vs. not buying at all How being stuck between two options can blind you to the real third option. [24:31] The Stanford $5 challenge A creativity experiment about reframing the problem instead of solving the obvious one. [28:00] Focus as a competitive advantage Why being fully locked in matters more than just knowing more. [29:22] Deep work in a distracted world Why focus is becoming a rare skill and how to protect it. [33:16] Learning new skills with AI Coding, language learning, and using AI to create personalized practice. [35:25] Why AI can feel exhausting How AI can keep people in a deep-work state longer than they expect. [36:00] Why large language models are bad at chess Confabulation, pattern recognition, and what that reveals about AI and learning. [44:03] Ambition, values, and cheating Why Jen included cheating in a book about decision-making. [47:00] Chess cheating, Hans Niemann, and online trust The difference between online cheating, live cheating, and the damage done to opponents. [57:00] Falsifying your own ideas Why stronger players spend more time disproving their moves. [01:00:00] Balancing doubt with action How to stress-test an idea without freezing yourself. [01:02:00] Why ambition matters, even if the first move is crude Magnus, scholar's mate, and why it's okay to start by trying to win. [01:04:00] Work harder when things are going well Why success is often the moment to press, not relax. [01:04:58] Final thoughts on the book James closes on why Thinking Sideways works and what makes it different.

Helle Brand, a physician assistant specializing in dementia care, helps us explore the often-misunderstood phenomenon of confabulation in dementia patients. We discuss what confabulation actually is and why it's fundamentally different from intentional lying. We explore the neurological basis behind why dementia patients create false memories to fill gaps in their recollection, examining common triggers and how the brain attempts to make sense of fragmented memories through fabricated narratives that feel completely real to the person experiencing them. We learn the crucial differences between confabulation and delusional thinking, and why accurate identification matters for providing appropriate care. One of the most powerful aspects of our conversation addresses the caregiver's dilemma — the emotional strain of hearing incorrect stories and why the overwhelming urge to correct these narratives can actually be counterproductive.

Your memory has been turned—and the double agent is inside your own mind. After years in a relationship with someone emotionally immature or narcissistic, the damage isn't just that they rewrite history. It's that you stop trusting your own ability to know what happened. This episode unpacks confabulation—the unconscious, real-time rewriting of memory that goes far beyond lying or gaslighting—and explains why the story keeps changing, why you can't win the memory argument, and why your gut is still your most reliable intelligence. Tony Overbay, LMFT, walks through the neuroscience of how memory actually works, why your brain's negativity bias makes you especially vulnerable in these relationships, and what you can do when your explicit memory has been compromised but your body still knows the truth. In this episode, you'll discover: The critical difference between lying, gaslighting, and confabulation—and why confabulation is the most disorienting of the three Why your implicit memory (your gut) can't be gaslit—and how to start trusting the data your nervous system is handing you How the brain's negativity bias creates a lopsided scorecard that someone emotionally immature exploits, often without even knowing it The "false self" vs. a healthy ego—and why confabulation is a fragile identity fighting for survival, not a calculated strategy Real examples from therapy sessions, interrogation rooms, and faith transitions that reveal confabulation in action As a licensed marriage and family therapist who has worked with hundreds navigating emotionally immature relationships, Tony brings both clinical precision and deep compassion to a topic that can finally help you stop questioning your sanity. If you've been told your memory is wrong but your body keeps telling you something isn't right—this episode is your permission to trust what you feel. 00:00 Your Memory Betrays You 02:21 The Double Agent Reveal 02:54 Why You Feel Crazy 04:27 Implicit Memory Saves You 07:15 What Confabulation Means 09:59 How Narcissists Rewrite Reality 15:38 How Memory Gets Shaped 17:20 Negativity Bias And Healing 23:49 Lies Gaslighting Confabulation 26:40 Why The Story Keeps Changing 29:51 Fame Identity Collapse 31:37 Everyday Confabulation Fights 32:51 Faith Crisis Family Story 37:27 Belief Systems Double Down 39:47 Interrogation Room Patching 43:13 Politics Ego Survival 47:06 Healthy vs False Ego 50:48 Course Pitch Pillars 54:30 Final Takeaways Wrap

In this week's episode, both of our storytellers use a scientific lens to examine their worst relationships. Part 1: Carlos Maza uses the plague to analyze his brutal breakup. Part 2: Panagiota Vogdou refuses to see her boyfriend as toxic until a stranger on the bus tells her to go to therapy. Carlos Maza is a video journalist focusing on misinformation, media bias, and propaganda. He is the Director of Video at Media Matters for America. He has spent too much of his adult life writing about fascism and hate speech. He would much rather you tell him about you Dungeons & Dragons character. Panagiota was born in Kozani, Greece, and moved to Toronto, Canada, in 2015. She's a Greek teacher and a flight attendant, but her true passion lies in acting—and, of course, storytelling. Though she's based in Toronto, she's always ready to fly anywhere to share her stories. Panagiota has performed in community theatre both in Greece and in Toronto. In 2020, she discovered her love for storytelling, and since then, she's been sharing her stories onstage at shows like Replay Storytelling, The Story Collider, Tales Told Live, and But That's Another Story in Toronto—as well as Confabulation in Montreal.

«Ви не такі розумні. Чому у вас забагато друзів у Facebook? Чому ваша пам'ять це здебільшого вигадка? І 48 інших способів, як ви обманюєте себе» так звучить переклад повної назви книги Девіда МакРейні. Заголовок передає основний посил книжки, і її варто прочитати всім, хто хоча б раз у житті займався самообманом (тобто кожному).У книзі 48 видів логічних упереджень і концепцій поведінки людського мозку: від евристики доступності до ефекту стороннього (так званого синдрому Дженовезе). Автор описує всі явища просто і зрозуміло, розвіюючи ілюзії, які ми створюємо у своїй голові про себе. Кожен розділ починається з міфу — і завершується тверезою реальністю.У цьому епізоді:– Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy — як ми «малюємо мішень навколо кулі», щоб усе виглядало логічно.– Confabulation — як ми вигадуємо правдоподібні пояснення, навіть коли не розуміємо, чому щось зробили.– Confirmation Bias — чому ми шукаємо лише те, що підтверджує наші думки, і відкидаємо все інше.– Priming — як просте слово чи образ можуть змінити вашу поведінку, настрій або навіть рішення.Та багато іншого.Зворотній зв'язок та реклама: flow@kindgeek.comПідписатись на email розсилку: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://eepurl.com/iQh5ag⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/ygnatyuk_⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/gnatyuk.yuriy/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Telegram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://t.me/yuragnatyuk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/y.gnatyuk/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Підтримати на ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/flowpodcast

Exploring the intricate relationship between happiness and religiosity, this video delves into how religious beliefs can influence one's sense of well-being. Research consistently shows that religious individuals often report higher levels of happiness and life satisfaction compared to their non-religious counterparts. This phenomenon is attributed to various factors, including community support, a sense of purpose, and spiritual fulfillment. The video also examines contrasting views from individuals who have left religious communities, highlighting personal anecdotes of increased happiness post-departure. By analyzing both statistical data and personal stories, the video provides a comprehensive look at how religion can impact mental health and happiness.⏱️⏱️VIDEO CHAPTERS⏱️⏱️:00:00:00 - Exploring Relationship Between Happiness and Religiosity00:01:27 - Do Religious People Report Higher Happiness Levels?00:03:05 - Historical Perspectives on Religion and Mental Health00:04:43 - Does Money or Faith Contribute More to Happiness?00:06:21 - Personal Experiences: Leaving the Church for Happiness00:08:01 - The Impact of Predestination Beliefs on Anxiety00:09:36 - Belief in Hell and Its Psychological Effects00:11:11 - Analyzing Anecdotal Stories of Church Harm00:12:50 - Measuring Happiness Among Different Religious Groups00:14:27 - Social Media Narratives: Happiness After Leaving Church00:15:48 - Memory and Confabulation in Faith-Based Contexts00:17:14 - Critiques and Discussions on Religious Happiness StudiesTo Order Jonah's Book, "The Key to the Keystone" visit the following link and use coupon Code: WARDRADIO https://tinyurl.com/Key-to-the-KeystoneFor 10% off Plain and Precious Publishing Books, visit plainandpreciouspublishing.com and use Coupon Code: WARDRADIOFor a copy of Brad's "Dragon Theif" Book, visit: https://a.co/d/7QzqsZN⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradioJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.com#christian #mormon #exmormon #latter-daysaints #latterdaysaints #latterdays #bible #bookofmormon #archaeology #BYU #midnightmormons #jesus #jesuschrist #scriptures #sundayschool #biblestudy #christiancomedy #cardonellis #kwakuel #bradwitbeckTo support the channel:Venmo @WardRadio or visit: https://account.venmo.com/u/MidnightMormonsPaypal: paypal.me/@midnightmedia Amazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareCashApp: $WardRadioFollow us at:Instagram: @cardonellis @kwakuel @braderico @boho.birdyFacebook: @WardRadioWorldwideTwitter: WardRadioShowTikTok: WardRadioWorldwide

This week, the boys kick things off with some serious déjà vu as Fyre Fest's favorite grifter promises he's totally throwing another festival — because nothing says “I've changed” like doubling down on the same scam. Meanwhile, the IRS decided to become ICE's BFF by casually sharing migrant tax data, and their commissioner moonwalks out right after. Also: Microsoft's long game of “let OpenAI set the money on fire while we build empires” is going exactly as planned.In the news, it's Elon all day: Starlink might be doing the same government freebie hustle Microsoft perfected, DOGE is monitoring your comms for anti-Musk snark, and apparently has enough data on your family to build Black Mirror Season 8. Tesla's financials are circling the drain so hard they won't even take their own Cybertrucks back as trade-ins, but don't worry — Elon's ready to bail out Twitter/xAI with monopoly money. Over in the UK, the cops are one coffee away from full Minority Report, and MIT confirms what we already knew: AI doesn't have morals, just vibes. Speaking of AI, someone sent an avatar to court. Yes, really.In Media Candy, it's a smorgasbord: The White Lotus is back, Murderbot looks like a win, and the Tron: Ares trailer wants you to care again. There's also a full Ask A Ninja drop for your 2006 nostalgia, and “Donald Trump Rides a Cock Horse” makes us long for the innocent absurdity of Morrissey Rides a Cockhorse. Over in Apps & Doodads, we've got AI dumbbells (because of course), Instagram still pretending the iPad doesn't exist, and the Scotty Peeler — the tool you didn't know you needed. Finally, Dave's back in The Darkside, riffing on malware, The Owl House, and how ChatGPT sometimes gives your image prompts a side of Lovecraftian horror. RIP to some true legends: Dave Allen, Al Barile, and Clem Burke — your music lives louder than ever.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Head over to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use the code "GOG" for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Tony Overbay, LMFT, and Marla Christensen, AMFT, APCC, dive deep into the complexities of betrayal trauma, focusing on the emotional and cognitive challenges faced by both partners. They explore how the betrayer's shame and fragmented memories often lead to staggered disclosures, which can further traumatize the betrayed partner. Over time, understanding the flawed nature of memory, the impact of shame, our desire to alleviate discomfort at almost any cost, and the human need for certainty is crucial. By developing emotional regulation, better communication skills, and a deeper understanding of oneself and each other, couples can approach the formal disclosure process with less pain, more intention and compassion, and potentially more realistic expectations. This discussion highlights the importance of patience, education, and therapeutic support in healing betrayal trauma. Tony shares the continuing evolution of his therapeutic approach for working with betrayal trauma, building off of his work with hundreds of couples over the past decade. Tony emphasizes the need to intentionally delay full disclosure until a strong foundation of emotional skills and mutual understanding is built. He explains how therapists must remain differentiated and confident in their methods to guide couples through this challenging process. By focusing on the concepts of memory, certainty, emotional immaturity, and effective communication, Tony and Marla offer valuable insights for anyone navigating the painful path of betrayal trauma.

Have you ever felt like someone is rewriting history, leaving you questioning your memory and sanity? What if there was a psychological explanation for this behavior? In today's episode, Tony revisits the concept of confabulation. Confabulation is a psychological mechanism where people create false memories or stories, often to fill gaps in their history or to avoid facing uncomfortable truths. We'll examine how this behavior is common among emotionally immature individuals and those with narcissistic tendencies. We'll also share real-life examples to help you recognize confabulation when it happens. Additionally, we'll discuss the principle of differentiation, which can help you separate your thoughts and feelings from those of emotionally immature individuals. This can be a valuable tool for personal growth and navigating complex relationships.
