I worked with a bunch of Roma on the hop farm and they were honestly the best people I’ve ever worked with. There was a really strong culture of sharing food and Jan found me a banger of a VW Passat for only £500. Jan would disappear off into the woods every lunch and forage tons of cob nuts and apples and we’d all chow down together. Farm owner treated them like shit though which was fucking typical.
The Young Ones is a classic for me for some good old Thatcher bashing now and again. Doesn’t really do much critiquing of capitalism in general but it’s well worth a watch.
From my understanding MOND has some pretty big hurdles to overcome as a model. When speaking to my PHD friend he still feels it’s hammering away at a model to further fit observations; it might prove useful but is certainly no smoking gun for us to wave a flag that we’re onto something. It’s a 40 year old concept that hasn’t born much fruit yet.
Yeah there’s some ideas about there clearly being a difference in that the brain isn’t feed-forward like these algorithms are. The book I Am a Strange Loop is a great read on the topic of consciousness. But I bet these models hit a massive plateau as the pump them full of bigger, shitter data. Who knows if we’ll ever achieve any actual parity between human and ai experience.
