I’m still electrified by Dr. Tatiana Shavrina, PhD’s groundbreaking Opening Keynote at #AGI25, “Frontier in #LLM Agents for Science Acceleration.” From her vanguard role at Meta, this fearless #ML researcher extended a bold, generative invitation: to reimagine science itself as an evolving, automatable process where LLM agents don’t just assist, but actively ideate, test, refute, and iterate at the edge of discovery, right alongside us. She anchored her vision in a timeline that reveals how far we’ve come: From the infamous SCIgen paper of 2005, a parody of academic publishing that snuck past peer review, to 2025, where systems like AI Scientist v2 have authored papers accepted under double-blind review at respected workshops like ICLR. The arc from prank to peer review is real, and it changes the stakes. A vivid testament that science itself, as dynamic as the subjects it studies, is becoming co-authored by #AI. At the core of her proposal lies a radical respect for the scientific method, but reframed for the age of #agents. She drew on the great epistemologists: Popper, with his call to falsifiability; Kuhn and Lakatos, with their paradigms and research programmes; and even Feyerabend, reminding us that sometimes progress demands a touch of anarchism. Tatiana’s insight: these aren’t just ideas for historians of science, they are design principles for a new breed of autonomous research systems. She mapped this new territory with precision: - Ideation: #LLMs generating bold, novel hypotheses where idea proliferation may outpace traditional accumulation - Experimentation: Environments like Meta’s MLGym and the high-velocity culture of NanoGPT speedruns, turning method development into testable, trackable loops - Refutation: The Popper Agent, built to challenge LLM outputs not to affirm rigorously, but to falsify. Survival is the new signal! - Self-improvement: The Darwin–Gödel Machine, an architecture for open-ended learning, agents that can rewrite themselves and evolve based on what endures. - Cumulative memory: Platforms like AgentRxiv, where agentic researchers publish, build upon each other’s results, and avoid cycling through forgotten insights. Together, these form the scaffolding for a scientific ecosystem populated by meta-scientists: Darwin–Popper, Darwin–Kuhn, Darwin–Lakatos agents, each embodying distinct philosophies of progress, evolving through productive disagreement. The goal? To make every link in the scientific chain: hypothesis → experiment → evaluation → publication → critique, agent-accessible, auditable, and reproducible. Tatiana’s vision is not speculative. It’s strategic, actionable, and already unfolding. Her question lingers with me: Is idea proliferation more important than knowledge accumulation? In an era ruled by scale, should we nurture wild gardens of hypotheses, or carefully tend the trees of established theory? Let’s build science worth trusting: auditable, falsifiable, generative, and alive! #AGI

An amazing two days of talks, workshops and community events here at metafest.wtf held in the wonderful Fort Punta Cristo on the beautiful Histrian peninsula, where Regens, Degens, Anarchists, Metadreamers, Daoists and other decentralization warriors got together to co-create the future of DAOs as an engine for the New Operating System of Society integrated with Nature on our beautiful Blue Dot. Here are the recordings: Day 1 - Decentralization Solutions for the "Metacrisis": https://lnkd.in/ekA2JFmc Day 2 - DAO Design Approaches: https://lnkd.in/edxNhFsj My friend Rob Morris, who gave a powerful opening address at the event, created a Twitter thread with materials related to my talk for those who want to go deeper into Design by Emergence and other Moloch annihilators: https://lnkd.in/exmTU4Nt Enjoy the talk here: https://lnkd.in/ekA2JFmc #Dao #metafest #metacrisis #decentralization #governance MetaFests #Emergence #selforganization #adhocracies #metafam #design #regens #degens #Anarchists #Metadreamers MetaFest Croatia

What happens when a Black musician who de-radicalized over 200 KKK members meets the mind architecting superintelligent AI? You get a conversation unlike any other — a symphony of empathy and intelligence that dares to ask: Can AGI learn from love? Can compassion scale with computation? Recording: https://lnkd.in/d6TngbkE In my latest podcast, I had the honor of bringing together two amazing legends: Daryl Davis, the Klan Whisperer https://lnkd.in/d6sPhcJj — a rock-and-roll legend who used the universal language of music and the disarming power of conversation to befriend and transform members of hate groups, convincing many to abandon their robes. His courage and deep humanism have become a blueprint for peacemaking. Alongside him, Dr. Ben Goertzel, father of AGI and decentralized AI visionary, explored what I call The Empathic Singularity — the idea that compassion and computation are not opposites, but evolutionary partners. We dove deep into: How curiosity, not judgment, dismantled hate Whether an AI can be taught to care — not just compute What it means to code compassion into cognition And why a future worth living demands machines that mirror our deepest humanity This wasn’t just a dialogue. It was a portal to a new paradigm — where empathy isn't just a human trait but a design principle for the intelligence we’re birthing. Watch, reflect, and join us in shaping a more benevolent superintelligence at the Beneficial AGI Conference bgisummit.io youtu.be/QF4q04fNfnY #BGI #SingularityNET SingularityNET #AGI #Klanwhisperer #music #compassion #love #deradicalization

The time to vote for Panels at SXSW has come! if you like our proposal now is the time to support it so we can bring this knowing to inspire more game changes to join our quest! Onwards and Upwards!! 🚀 https://lnkd.in/eqQ6jCix Game Change: From Moloch to the Organic Society through DAOs Inspired by the Future Humans Trilogy, the Earthwise Game of Civilizational Transformation regards humans as the Imaginal Cells, and Metacrisis as being the “imaginal soup” of the process of metamorphosis, in which these cells transform into players that together enact a new society. The game teaches co-creation with Nature enabled by advanced AI and DAOS to accelerate the co-design, experimentation, and deployment of the new organic governance rules into the fabric of society to generate a new structure into which we can escape the current pathological structures of Moloch.
