Periodic Table of Cognition

This is much folk psychology with some correct affinities/"functions" that neuroscience has identified and studies.

For the skinny on where cognition really is at, here's Gyuri Buzsaki's short but sweet The Brain—Cognition Behavior Problem:

https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/philosopherszone/are-... is an interview with Timothy Bayne, Professor in the School of Philosophical, Historical and Indigenous Studies at Monash University, Melbourne, and Co-Director of the Brain, Mind and Consciousness project.

It's got some very interesting takes on the question of when cognition starts and how Philosophers think about it, ideate it as a concept, with a side-journey into ascribing AI systems with consciousness.

The idea of a "periodic table" of cognition is cool. A brave attempt. I remember Douglas Copeland had one on the inside cover of "Shampoo Planet" that sorta captured the attitude of some post genXers.

I stopped reading when I saw the table was generated by ChatGPT.
nurettin•4mo ago
You were right in this case. It says 49 elements, but the table is 7x8
rcarmo•4mo ago
Reminds me of how we got to 42…
topspin•4mo ago
"It suggests 49 elements, arranged in a table"

The table has 56 elements.

> ChatGPT5Pro to help me generate a periodic table of cognition

This is AI slop.

The core argument of the article doesn't seem to have much value as it's based around some vague link between two unrelated fields of science (the periodic table and philosophy), but perhaps the more interesting part is the impact AI is having on science.

Good to know that LLMs also struggle with off-by-one errors. Maybe zero indexing will buy us another year or so before they take over all our programming jobs.
siva7•4mo ago
We are already in a state where crackheads and also the brightest people you remember from school talk with chatgpt about their own theories on physics, nature, ... and every response they get back is like "You're absolutely right". Then they go on to publish them on the internet, and what they find are people who agree on that genius. They form together... and one day they cure cancer!

At worst, play it to a draw.

There's a smell of pseudo-science here. That weird blend of interesting + plausible with sprinkles of heavy-handed parallels.

After "Isaac Newton, who may have been the smartest person who ever lived" the level of trust fell drastically.

Sure, the periodic table was extremely useful and we were using electricity before we understood it, but we understand LLMs far better, mostly because they are our own creation.

Maybe the lines between exploration, creation and discovery are fuzzy sometimes, but this article tips over into AI propaganda.
