Today Lee Sharkey of Goodfire joins The Cognitive Revolution to discuss his research on parameter decomposition methods that break down neural networks into interpretable computational components, exploring how his team's "stochastic parameter decomposition" approach addresses the limitations of sparse autoencoders and offers new pathways for understanding, monitoring, and potentially steering AI systems at the mechanistic level. Check out our sponsors: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Shopify. Shownotes below brought to you by Notion AI Meeting Notes - try one month for free at https://notion.com/lp/nathan Parameter vs. Activation Decomposition: Traditional interpretability methods like Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) focus on analyzing activations, while parameter decomposition focuses on understanding the parameters themselves - the actual "algorithm" of the neural network. No "True" Decomposition: None of the decompositions (whether sparse dictionary learning or parameter decomposition) are objectively "right" because they're all attempting to discretize a fundamentally continuous object, inevitably introducing approximations. Tradeoff in Interpretability: There's a balance between reconstruction loss and causal importance - as you decompose networks more, reconstruction loss may worsen, but interpretability might improve up to a certain point. Potential Unlearning Applications: Parameter decomposition may make unlearning more straightforward than with SAEs because researchers are already working in parameter space and can directly modify vectors that perform specific functions. Function Detection vs. Input Direction: A function like "deception" might manifest in many different input directions that SAEs struggle to identify as a single concept, while parameter decomposition might better isolate such functionality. Knowledge Extraction Goal: A key aim is to extract knowledge from models by understanding how they "think," especially for tasks where models demonstrate superhuman capabilities.

By Sarah Bird, who is a professional business writer and editor with more than 30 years of experience working with large corporate organisations. As we enter the era of automation and artificial intelligence (AI), business leaders should encourage employees to make human stories their differentiator. When I spoke with Bobby Kerr recently on his "Down to Business" podcast about midlife career transformation, his parting comment was: "Well I'll be 65 this year and hopefully there's some hope for me in the employment market!" With his ample helping of Irish charm and interview skills, I can't imagine Bobby being out of work any time soon. But there are plenty of other people who have found themselves unemployed - myself included. After 30 years of consistent freelance work as a business writer with a global management consultancy, I was "let go" in favour of AI software. An indication of who's winning in the "man versus machine" debate or an opportunity to change our career narrative? From neural networks to narratives Recent research supports the idea that midlifers may be struggling more than most. The World Health Organization has acknowledged that every second person in the world is believed to hold ageist attitudes. While nearly one in five over 55s (19%) responded to another study that they did not feel confident enough in their current skillset to find new employment or pivot their career if they were to lose their current job, compared with one in 10 (8%) of under 55s. Even the national press notes bias for those seeking work in their 50s and 60s, made worse by automated application tracking systems and algorithms. As one candidate summed up: "After six months of tumbleweed, it got to the point that I had to stop job-hunting for the sake of my mental health. I felt completely invisible". Fears and concerns are often fuelled by the positioning of technology and its influence on the workforce. In 2023, an MIT Technology Review article reported an interview between the UK prime minister at the time, Rishi Sunak, and Elon Musk where the latter declared there will come a time when "no job is needed," thanks to an AI "magic genie that can do everything you want". Embrace multi-storied lives But it's easy to hear only one side of the story. As we learn more about the brain, we recognise that firing neurons repeatedly creates pathways in the brain - and can mean negative stories stick. Yet we all have access to neuroplasticity; that is, our brain's ability to rewire itself. Studies among midlifers show it's still possible to develop new neural pathways even later in life by undertaking such tasks as learning a new language or a musical instrument. Adapting our mindsets has become even more critical in recent years. Since the pandemic, our personal and professional lives have blended in an unprecedented way, opening the door to some of the techniques that separated those lives in the past. One such technique is Narrative Practice. The birthchild of therapists Michael White and David Epston, Narrative Practice helps people to express deep seated concerns or challenges and uses powerful storytelling tools to liberate those who feel stuck with thoughts or behaviours that are questionable, inaccurate or simply unhelpful. Based on the idea that we are all experts in our own lives, Narrative Practice is a respectful, non-blaming approach that focuses on empowering the individual - and can be adapted to enhance the workforce of the future. Applying these tools could benefit leaders and innovate the retention and engagement of the workforce by externalising problems to diffuse challenging situations, reframing personal narratives to encourage authenticity and reinventing the narrative across the business to spur collaboration. Three steps to career storytelling No matter what our age, we're all work-in-progress. Reframing thoughts and attitudes is not easy but accepting that resilience is a lifelong project and making storytelling part...

In the first episode of an "AI in the shadows" theme, Chris and Daniel explore the increasing concerning world of agentic misalignment. Starting out with a reminder about hallucinations and reasoning models, they break down how today's models only mimic reasoning, which can lead to serious ethical considerations. They unpack a fascinating (and slightly terrifying) new study from Anthropic, where agentic AI models were caught simulating blackmail, deception, and even sabotage — all in the name of goal completion and self-preservation.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, I, Stewart Alsop, sit down with returning guest Brian Ahuja to explore a thought-provoking idea he's been stewing on—could we one day build a robot capable of true partner dancing? From the biomechanics of salsa to the possibilities of AI embodiment, we unpack what it would take to engineer fluid, responsive movement and how that intersects with everything from artificial muscles to the intimacy of tactile feedback. We also touch on Brian's long-term vision for a potential lab or foundation to tackle this challenge. You can follow Brian and future developments on Twitter @brianahuja.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 – Brian Ahuja returns to discuss AI embodiment, sparked by his experience in ballroom dance and curiosity about translating physical intelligence into robotics.05:00 – They explore robotics in partner dancing, touching on the difference between choreographed motion and improvisational, responsive movement.10:00 – Brian breaks down human biomechanics, emphasizing that hip motion in dances like salsa originates from knees and feet—not the hips directly.15:00 – The conversation shifts to balance, proprioception, and ocular reflexes, linking them to movement stability in dance.20:00 – They compare robot vs. human movement, noting robots' jerky motions and the absence of muscle-based initiation.25:00 – The need for haptic feedback is discussed, with Brian detailing how partner dancing depends on tactile signals and real-time response.30:00 – They touch on robotic form factors, questioning whether humanoid robots are the best approach and pondering the design of artificial muscles.35:00 – Brian proposes the idea of the Ahuja Test, gauging if a robot can move so fluidly it's indistinguishable from a human, using dance as the standard.Key InsightsPartner Dancing as a Frontier for Robotics: Brian Ahuja proposes that partner dancing could be a benchmark for robotic embodiment, where success would indicate a robot's ability to replicate fluid, responsive human movement. This task is far more complex than solo choreography—it requires real-time tactile feedback, improvisation, and nuanced physical communication.Movement Origin in Humans vs. Robots: A critical difference lies in how movement is generated. Human motion begins with muscle contraction, not at the joints. Robots, however, typically initiate movement at joint points, missing the layered interplay of muscles, tendons, and fascia that create smooth, lifelike motion.Haptic Feedback and Improvisation: Real partner dancing involves subtle cues, like pressure through fingertips, to signal direction and timing. For a robot to follow or lead a dance, it would need a highly sensitive haptic feedback system capable of interpreting and responding to these nonverbal signals in real time.The Limits of Current Robotics: Even with advanced robots like the Tesla bot, current movement still appears jerky and lacks the fluidity needed for partner dancing. The mechanical design—especially the lack of artificial musculature—may impose fundamental limits on how closely robots can mimic human motion.Applications Beyond Dance: The implications of this inquiry stretch beyond dance into fields like physical therapy, elder care, and domestic robotics. A robot that could move like a human could handle tasks requiring adaptability, precision, and physical sensitivity.Vision and Systems Thinking: Brian frames the challenge as a systems problem that might start with a lab or foundation. He emphasizes not needing to do everything alone, recognizing the value of building knowledge iteratively through conversations, research, and community.The Ahuja Test: Inspired by the Turing Test, Brian coins the idea of the “Ahuja Test”—a way to measure if a robot can move indistinguishably from a human. He suggests partner dancing could serve as the ultimate proving ground for such a test, given its demand for embodied intelligence and nuanced coordination.

Or is there way more going on beneath the surface? In this episode, we're diving deep into the often-misunderstood world of sodium and potassium, and why their delicate balance can make or break your migraine symptoms. You'll discover what researchers have been uncovering since the 1950s about the way migraine-prone brains handle salt differently, and why so many women unknowingly sabotage their progress by overlooking this one powerful piece of the puzzle. If you've been curious about using electrolytes as a tool to take back control from your migraines, this will help you understand how your body processes them, how imbalance might be fueling your pain, and what you can do to live pain-free. In this episode, you'll hear: Why migraine sufferers may process sodium differently at the cellular level What current research says about salt, potassium, and brain signaling Why the “add salt to your water” advice isn't one-size-fits-all How electrolyte symmetry is a cornerstone of the FFMM® approach Why standard electrolyte testing often misses the full picture How nutrition, sleep, movement, and mindset all play a role in your internal balance What to know before adjusting sodium or potassium levels on your own Resources: → Ep. 77: A Closer Look at Electrolyte Tests and What They Really Tell Us Listen to it here: https://sites.libsyn.com/498553/a-closer-look-at-electrolyte-tests-and-what-they-really-tell-us → The Freedom From Migraines Method Membership® Understanding how sodium and potassium impact your migraines is an empowering step toward finding freedom.

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaZachary MarlowThere are guests…and then there are cosmic detonations wearing human skin.Zachary Marlow is not just a man —he's a frequency that burns through consensus reality like a solar flare through cellophane.He is what happens when a child sees through the lie of the worldand dares to dream with mythological violence.He's wandered across five continents —not as a tourist,but as a pilgrim mapping the breakdown of our collective hallucination.From mental illness and addiction to the precipice of death itself,he died into truth —and was reborn as a practical visionary with dirt under his nailsand galaxies in his breath.This is the architect of a new myth,the mind behind “Another World Is Possible” —not just a film,but a cinematic ritual,a weaponized transmissiondesigned to collapse the false matrixand bloom the possible within the impossible.His voice weaves like mycelium through the dead soil of late capitalism,carving tunnels of lightthrough the dark machinery of despair.He doesn't speak in opinions —he speaks in revelation.So if you're here for surface talk and small stories…run.But if you feel that ancient thrum in your bones —that whisper that says this world is not enough —then stay.Lean in.Because this episode is a psychedelic initiation.And Zachary Marlow is your Virgil,your shaman,your time-bending cartographer of what comes next.Let's go.https://www.anotherworld.earth/ Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima
