Maranouchi 2023 - Tokyo - Japan
This was taken in June 2023, it's a follow up to the shot I posted a few weeks ago from 2014. The rate of building and development in Tokyo never ceases to amaze me and a quick comparison shows a number of complete building being replaced!!!

"Neurons in brains use timing and synchronization in the way that they compute. This property seems essential for the flexibility and adaptability of biological intelligence. Modern AI systems discard this fundamental property in favor of efficiency and simplicity. We found a way of bridging the gap between the existing powerful implementations and scalability of modern AI, and the biological plausibility paradigm where neuron timing matters. The results have been surprising and encouraging.
(...)
We introduce the Continuous Thought Machine (CTM), a novel neural network architecture designed to explicitly incorporate neural timing as a foundational element. Our contributions are as follows:
- We introduce a decoupled internal dimension, a novel approach to modeling the temporal evolution of neural activity. We view this dimension as that over which thought can unfold in an artificial neural system, hence the choice of nomenclature.
- We provide a mid-level abstraction for neurons, which we call neuron-level models (NLMs), where every neuron has its own internal weights that process a history of incoming signals (i.e., pre-activations) to activate (as opposed to a static ReLU, for example).
- We use neural synchronization directly as the latent representation with which the CTM observes (e.g., through an attention query) and predicts (e.g., via a projection to logits). This biologically-inspired design choice puts forward neural activity as the crucial element for any manifestation of intelligence the CTM might demonstrate."

La imagen muestra una página del capítulo de introducción de un libro, número 13. El texto discute las convenciones de escritura que reforzaron el individualismo, criticando las prácticas que desalientan el pensamiento y el habla colectivo. Se menciona que ciertos segmentos del pensamiento postestructuralista y anarquista limitan la política a beneficios para el capital. Algunos activistas y teóricos creen que las actividades micropolíticas, como prácticas de auto-cultivo o elecciones de consumo individual, son más importantes que los movimientos organizados a gran escala. Esto dificulta la construcción de nuevas organizaciones, ya que hace que el pensamiento colectivo sea más raro, difícil y menos "nuevo". Además, se critica el enfoque estético que se da a objetos y obras creativas, argumentando que desconecta la política de la lucha organizada de los trabajadores, convirtiendo la política en lo que los espectadores ven. Se menciona que los productos artísticos, ya sean bienes o experiencias comercializadas, apoyan al capital mientras desplazan las luchas políticas de las calles a las galerías. Los espectadores pueden pagar (o donar) para sentirse radicales sin ensuciarse las manos, lo que permite que la clase dominante mantenga su posición.
