We've updated the preprint of our Naturalistic Computational Cognitive Science paper (arxiv.org/abs/2502.20349) — we've tried to clarify and streamline the arguments, and added some new examples: 1/5

🤖🧠NEW PAPER🧠🤖 Children & neural networks can learn syntax from linear strings of words. How do they do it? Our hypothesis: Word co-occurrence statistics provide cues to syntax! (I.e., a new type of bootstrapping to consider!) Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2605.20529 1/n

To appear in Computational Brain & Behavior soon: the claimed 2024 proof (also in CBB) that AGI via learning is intractable also "proves" that ImageNet is intractable. My reading of the hole: equivocation on the variable D. Preprint here: arxiv.org/abs/2411.06498
