How I discovered the mechanism of consciousness … in 1999 – Episode 1. The rabbit in the headlights
Illustration by ChatGPT
Okay, here we go! How did it start yesterday? A comment from Jean-Baptiste, who I work with at Pribor: “For really complicated programming issues, I’ve given up on Claude Code, who messes it up too often: I’ve switched to Kimi. Okay, just ignore the Chinese characters floating around:

How I discovered the mechanism of consciousness … in 1999 – Episode zero. One of those detective stories where the name of the assassin shows on the front page.
Illustration by ChatGPT
Yes, it’s one of those detective stories where they reveal the murderer’s name right away, but that doesn’t make it any less exciting—in fact, it makes it even more exciting—because you’ve been given the answer when you still don’t know any of the questions. It’s the same thing in the series that starts here: I described the mechanism of consciousness in 1999, but the neuroscientific questions that proved that this was indeed the answer only came to light in the years that followed. This will…

AI: How would François Chollet criticise Paul Jorion’s manuscript?
In the same vein as my AI: Are Hinton’s and Jorion’s Views on Co-Evolution Compatible? a fortnight ago. Today, this AI: How would François Chollet criticise Paul Jorion’s manuscript?.
The manuscript being entitled Rethinking Intelligence in the Age of Artificial Minds, forthcoming with Palgrave-Macmillan.

AI: Are Hinton’s and Jorion’s Views on Co-Evolution Compatible?
Illustration by ChatGPT 4oAI: Are Hinton’s and Jorion’s Views on Co-Evolution Compatible?
Hinton’s view on co-evolution
Geoffrey Hinton’s work implicitly sketches a re-imagining of evolution itself – one played out on silicon rather than in carbon. He often likens gradient descent to an evolutionary engine running on fast-forward: whereas natural selection gropes across generations by keeping the occasional lucky mutation, back-propagation steers every synaptic weight in real time, following the steepest downward slope of the loss landscape. The result is a learning process that compresses millennia…

On the puzzling behavior of generative AIs: What to make of recent interpretations of the inner workings of Claude, Anthropic’s large language model?
Illustration by DALL·E
On March 27, 2025, Anthropic published a set of innovative analyses in its article On the Biology of a Large Language Model (LLM), constituting an in-depth exploration of the internal workings of its Claude 3.5 Haiku model. The approach adopted is that of a transposition of neuroscience techniques: starting from the human brain and moving towards artificial neural networks, the authors detect “circuits” and “features” associated with linguistic comprehension, poetic creation, calculation, and the behavior of a large language model confronted with deviations…

Paris Defence and Strategy Forum – The Silent War and Strategic Mobilization in the Age of Infrastructure Warfare, March 12th 2025

Blueprint for Paul Jorion’s Speech at Panel 3: The Silent War and Strategic Mobilization in the Age of Infrastructure Warfare
War must be avoided at all costs. However, our desire for peace is no guarantee against aggression from an adversary with less noble intentions.
Opening Statement: Redefining the Nature of War
“When we speak of war today, we must acknowledge that it is evolving. The battlefield is no longer solely defined by tanks, missiles, and soldiers, but increasingly by silent yet devastating…

“JESUS vs DONALD” #JvsD
Trumpism is no political system, it’s a cult: the cult of brute force, the cult of “If you’re not like me, i.e. a Straight White Rich Guy, go fuck yourself!”.
You don’t fight a cult with arguments, you fight it with a better cult: the cult of generosity, of openness of the heart, of compassion, of respect for every other human being, animal, plant or even a scumbag like Donald Trump!
I’d like to say: “Join us in Jesus vs Donald!”, but this morning at the hour I’m writing I’m still the only one member (maybe 1 ½ …), so…
