2025/05/02

🤖 Moravec’s Paradox shows that what’s easy for humans—like walking, seeing, or grasping—is hard for AI, while abstract tasks like math or chess are easier for machines. 🧠 Evolution honed our sensorimotor skills over millennia, making them intuitive for us but deeply complex to replicate in code. 🚶‍♂️ So while AI can solve equations, it still stumbles at stairs.

2025/04/23

🧠 People often say they want big wins (like lotteries), but in practice, they choose what wins more often—even if it pays less. 🎮 In experiments, when outcomes are shown side-by-side, we tend to favor the “frequent winner.” 📉 This bias can make us overlook rare, high rewards—shaping real-world choices in money, health, and risk. 🔍 Bottom line: It’s not just what we choose, but how the choice is shown that changes everything.

🧬 Human pelvic evolution reflects a tug-of-war between 🚶‍♀️ efficient walking, 🧠 growing brains, and 🚼 safe childbirth. Using AI and genetic data from 31,115 individuals, Xu et al. found the pelvis is highly heritable, sex-dimorphic, and shaped by multiple selective pressures—not just bipedalism or birth. Larger canals ease delivery but risk 💥 pelvic floor disorders, while narrower ones boost mobility but raise ⚠️ labor complications. This study reframes the “obstetrical dilemma” as a 🔄
