The Ledger
Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.
why aren't all 4 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable
Ring: True robot knowledge stems from experience, not pre-programmed labels
“There, these aren't just arbitrary labels or categories that are programmers assigned to a node in a graph. This is verifiable knowledge based on experience in the real world.”
Ring: AI forecasts encode knowledge as subjective, behavior-dependent predictions
“Their secret is that they encode knowledge as behavior-dependent predictions, meaning that each forecast predicts something about what an agent will perceive if it acts in a certain way. So they're subjective predictions. Each one says basically, I will percei…”
Ring: AI forecasts enable layered knowledge by predicting other forecasts
“But critically, forecasts are an isolaminar mechanism, so you can use them layer after layer, from simple to complex. And this is possible because a forecast can make a prediction about another forecast. You can build forecast A to make one prediction, and the…”
Mark Ring: Predictive forecasts can build endlessly abstract AI representations
“Distance maps to doorways, hallways, rooms of different shapes and sizes, and in principle, any distinctive set of forecasts can be predicted, and those predictions can be used to build ever more abstract forecasts continuing indefinitely.”
