Würde sich deine Geschichte für eine Umsetzung als Graphic-Novel/Comic eignen? Hättest du Interesse daran?
, oder auch der würden sich gut eignen. Sie sind linear erzählt, haben viel Handlung und interessante Schauplätze. Andere, wie z. B. die Vampirnovelle oder das eignen sich aufgrund der Erzählweise und einem hohen Anteil an Introspektion eher nicht.
Interesse daran hätte ich ...

Allerdings bin ich mir sehr bewusst, dass ich zwar ganz gut zeichnen kann, aber bei weitem nicht die Fähigkeiten besitze, die es braucht, so ein Projekt adäquat umzusetzen. Wenn aber jemand Interesse an einer Kooperation hätte und wir stilistisch zusammenkommen - sofort!

This has reminded N and I of the Bermondsey-born hero of Inherit the Stars, a glorious bit of sci-fi writing which is long overdue a re-issue. 📖 @bookstodon

Academic authors 'shocked' after Taylor & Francis sells access to their research to Microsoft AI
https://www.thebookseller.com/news/academic-authors-shocked-after-taylor--francis-sells-access-to-their-research-to-microsoft-ai
Authors have expressed their shock after the news that academic publisher Taylor & Francis, which owns Routledge, had sold access to its authors’ research as part of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) partnership with Microsoft—a deal worth almost £8m ($10m) in its first year.

Just read John Rennie Short’s ‘Insurrection’, a good overview into what happened before and during and after Jan 6. Short and concise.

I didn’t need to feel more depressed, but I also felt I needed to know more

Do it slowly and don’t be consistent, sometimes I select the tile with 3 pixels of the thing its supposed to contain, sometimes I leave 2 or 3 tiles that clearly contain the thing, sometimes I just select a tile that doesn’t even match. Idk, it always works, I suppose the erratic behavior is what shows them I’m human or smth

If the ultimate purpose of memory is to guide our actions in future, what is the point of episodic memory?

Why do we remember details of our past experiences?

@cian @cogsci
Just off the top of my head (speculation alert)

"1) assume we have a limited storage capacity so aren't good at raw memorisation"
Maybe everything gets encoded and stored, but we aren't so good at retrieval/recall of specific episodes.
Maybe that poor exact episodic retrieval is a consequence of generalisation at retrieval.

"2) even after learning something, we tend to forget details over time."
Assuming we store new episodic memories over time, the accumulation of new memories might make it harder to retrieve specific old episodes through a generalisation at retrieval mechanism. (Also, even if parts of old episodes were to randomly disappear over time, that wouldn't necessarily stop a generalisation at retrieval mechanism. A good generalisation mechanism should be able to cope with partial records of episodes.)

"Neither of these really apply to ANNs?"
Well, you could include weight decay in an ANN and there is the phenomenon of catastrophic forgetting. However, I take the relevance of most current ANNs (feedforward, weight optimising networks) to cognitive concerns with a fairly large pinch of salt.
IMO the theoretical conceptual framework of most current ANNs doesn't make contact with cognitive concerns so you can't really ask these questions of them.

@cian @cogsci

Plus there are cognitive science people who argue that analogy is the core of cognition.

Analogy is a mechanism for generalisation at retrieval and the stored episodes are the input to the analogical mechanism.
