Socrates in the Street of the Marble Workers antigonejournal.com/2026/08/… ✍️ John Sellars via @AntigoneJournal 👉 John Sellars explores the modest archaeological remains of Athens’s Street of the Marble Workers, tracing how this urban space of everyday tradespeople and the prison of his execution served as the birthplace of Socratic philosophy and Western ethics. 💡 By grounding abstract philosophical thought in a gritty neighbourhood of artisans, Sellars demystifies Socrates and reminds us that true philosophy was forged in ordinary public streets rather than academic towers. @Corix_JC @SonuMonika @TheAIObserverX @maponi @JagersbergKnut @ahier @ChuckDBrooks @Shi4Tech @CEO_AISOMA @sallyeaves @EchoofLight11 @dinisguarda @TarakRindani @FrRonconii @Nicochan33 @Khulood_Almani @TysonLester @SusanHayes_ @EstelaMandela @JoannMoretti @sulefati7 @FernandaKellner @pchamard @NeiraOsci @darioandriani @ALouiseLavalett @Fabriziobustama @amalmerzouk @mikeflache @RLDI_Lamy @smaksked @Eli_Krumova @PVynckier @chidambara09 @sminaev2015 @NathaliaLeHen @MHcommunicate @Analytics_699 @DanielleLargier

The Einstein test: what happens when AI tries to rediscover relativity? nature.com/articles/d41586-0… ✍️ Philip Ball via @Nature 👉 The article examines whether language models trained on historical data can independently replicate monumental creative breakthroughs in physics. 👉 The feature explores a retrospective benchmark to see if the system can shift from accelerating pattern recognition to independently formulating radical concepts like the equivalence principle and curved spacetime. 💡 By framing scientific creativity around the complex, long chains of conceptual reasoning that led to general relativity, Ball establishes a brilliant and necessary benchmark that moves the evaluation of AI past simple equation-solving or raw data ingestion. @Corix_JC @SonuMonika @TheAIObserverX @maponi @JagersbergKnut @ahier @ChuckDBrooks @Shi4Tech @CEO_AISOMA @sallyeaves @EchoofLight11 @dinisguarda @TarakRindani @FrRonconii @Nicochan33 @Khulood_Almani @TysonLester @SusanHayes_ @EstelaMandela @JoannMoretti @sulefati7 @FernandaKellner @pchamard @NeiraOsci @darioandriani @ALouiseLavalett @Fabriziobustama @amalmerzouk @mikeflache @RLDI_Lamy @smaksked @Eli_Krumova @PVynckier @chidambara09 @sminaev2015 @NathaliaLeHen @MHcommunicate @Analytics_699 @DanielleLargier

Not Even Wrong 2: An Audit of Public AGI Prediction, 1950-2026 papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.… ✍️ Luciano Floridi, Jessica Morley, @novelli_claudio via @SSRN 👉 The authors audit 24 prominent public forecasts regarding the arrival of AGI and the AI apocalypse. The study reveals that 79% of these predictions are "not even wrong" because they rely on vague, unfalsifiable criteria, while testable deadlines from commercial labs consistently score the worst. 💡 By exposing these speculative timelines as unfalsifiable theatre, Floridi rightly demonstrates how sci-fi doom narratives are often weaponised by tech leaders to attract hype and shield themselves from accountability, while effectively distracting regulators from acute, immediate harms like compute monopolies. @Corix_JC @SonuMonika @TheAIObserverX @maponi @JagersbergKnut @ahier @Shi4Tech @CEO_AISOMA @sallyeaves @ChuckDBrooks @EchoofLight11 @dinisguarda @TarakRindani @FrRonconii @Nicochan33 @Khulood_Almani @TysonLester @SusanHayes_ @EstelaMandela @JoannMoretti @sulefati7 @FernandaKellner @pchamard @NeiraOsci @darioandriani @ALouiseLavalett @Fabriziobustama @amalmerzouk @mikeflache @RLDI_Lamy @smaksked @Eli_Krumova @PVynckier @chidambara09 @sminaev2015 @NathaliaLeHen @Analytics_699 @DanielleLargier
