The only way to stop that nation is to shatter its capability of waging that war. Otherwise a lot of diplomacy will be done, but that country has already made its choice, and it will pursue it.
— Dmytro Kuleba“The actual actions of the people in the market are the things that determine what happens next within the market. The 'standard' financial markets model is, effectively, based on a coin toss. That is how derivatives are priced and how every exotic financial instrument is seen- they are very fancy coins, where flipping creates price changes.”— Professor Neil Johnson
Physics professor studying complex systems, crowd behavior, and social networks.

When you see Russian disinformation claiming that Zelensky does not want peace, and Russia striking our civilian infrastructure with missiles, these are two sides of the same attack.
— Dmytro KulebaIf we were to design a theory of Ukraine's victory, I would formulate it in three words: an independent, sovereign and European Ukraine.
— Dmytro KulebaThe West suffers from its own arrogance. Our friends in Paris, in Berlin, in London, even in the United States, always build their fundamental assumptions on the premise that they know Russia, that they have leverage on Russia, that they can control Russia, that they can moderate Russia.

— Dmytro KulebaThe imposition of thingness and objecthood and selfhood and otherhood and motherhood is just our attempt to tell stories of a simple sort about how we best explain our universe. But our universe is obviously everything.
— Karl FristonDisorders of consciousness, and psychopathology generally, can now be viewed through the lens of false inference.
— Karl FristonThey are using language; I use language; I am conscious; therefore the machine is conscious. It is a very plausible inference to make.
— Karl FristonYou can simulate the weather in silico and it is not actually raining. The computer is not in and of itself wet, whereas mortal computation would actually be wet, if you physically realise what is going on.
— Karl FristonWe are all natural-born scientists, with exactly the same curiosity under the hood. That is the thing that needs to be installed in large language models before you will get anywhere near AGI.
— Karl FristonIf you do not have that, and large language models do not have that, then you do not know what you do not know. You cannot do belief updating. All you can do is produce outputs for any given input.
