The Artificial Organism asks a different question about artificial general intelligence. Instead of asking how large or capable a model must become, I ask what kind of system allows intelligence to act persistently, recover from failure, learn from experience, and remain accountable for what it changes. Using biomimicry as a functional guide rather than a claim that machines are alive or conscious, the book separates responsibilities that are often collapsed inside modern AI systems. Cognition can interpret uncertainty and propose action, while other mechanisms preserve authority, state, evidence, resources, memory, and recovery. A model may know how to perform an action without being permitted to perform it. An attempted action may not have a known outcome. A learned capability should not automatically rewrite the rules that govern its use. These distinctions become concrete through a carried maintenance case in which an apparently simple request encounters ambiguous intent, refusal, competing conditions, a lost acknowledgment, uncertain completion, compensation, model replacement, and learning. The case exposes a central problem for persistent agency: the system must preserve what actually happened even when its cognitive components change or do not know the answer. The book also examines small specialized models, artificial nervous-system analogies, memory, identity, homeostasis, embodiment, multi-model systems, and the limits of language as the organizing substrate of intelligence. Its final chapters compare the proposed responsibilities against simpler tool-using agent architectures and make clear what evidence would be required for the architecture itself to succeed or fail. The Artificial Organism is not an announcement that AGI has been achieved. It is an engineering argument for how increasingly capable intelligence might become a coherent acting system, and a framework for testing whether that organization is actually necessary a.co/d/07wrtrCf #agi #si #AIAgents #ai

Looking forward to reading this

And the paperback is approved for print! a.co/d/031yCEtP

Maybe we only think it’s complex, because we are defining the problem incorrectly?

That is @bot bot and @antigravity working together via an @esp32com using the protocol from the book. Still building out the api

The EA crowd already stepped in this mess, first. Also, the Pope is a formally trained mathematician, so he probably is uniquely qualified to weigh in on this topic…

If you’re anyone dissatisfied for the current way the world is being explained on your behalf, and are looking for others who are equally dissatisfied, check out @RealistGuild and give @OnlyFormHolds a follow

Coming soon… I’ve been working on this in the background for going on six years, with help from some very inspiring minds and muses. I’ve been inspired by Biomimicry for years, since I learned about it during my undergrad, and started applying it towards my own work; Biology gives us a great analog for designing systems. While the frontier labs were chasing bigger, the apparent question to me became “how does intelligence occur naturally?” as well as “Why are natural systems able to do “intelligence” with microwatts, while we’re struggling to find the Megawatts and Giggawatts?” Everything I built and tested, in the process of creating this protocol layer was designed to handle the work at the smallest hardware level. Microcontrollers, consumer grade laptops, etc. I am not saying that there isn’t a place for LLMs; in fact I tested and used multiple off the shelf models to work through many of these puzzles. What I’ve discovered, though, is the path to AGI is probably not going to require anything more than small, locally trained and tuned models designed to support the system’s internal protocols. Here’s to working smarter! #biomimicry #AI #superintelligence #AGI

For those wondering what is happening wrt your faith. @grok isn’t saying anything new or unnatural, and this is just another reminder

AGI will not be a machine made in our image. It will be the systematic removal of our image from the machinery of intelligence—leaving us to understand ourselves without mistaking our capabilities for our identity.

Now that we are seeing that the fear mongering around AI was mostly hype, here are some things to ponder that AGI will actually impact. lnkd.in/p/eSZbVEwr

That’s a whole of society question, but I don’t think people are ready for the questions, let alone the answers.

It’s not worth even sharing these ideas with people, anymore. Too many gatekeepers, too much friction, too many discussions. We have access to incredible tools that allow you to just build to sole a problem and move on from there. Slap a copyright on it and let God sort it out… there is nothing parable or scripture that tells you to wait for quorum on solving a problem, quite the contrary.

I literally just wrote about this

Its a lot less esoteric than literal. Once you understand the mechanism AGI is stupid simple.
