Apperceptive by Sam buttondown.com
Hello. My name is Sam. This newsletter is about self-driving cars, autonomy, machine learning, the human brain. I think that almost everybody building "AI" or self-driving or whatever underestimates the importance and sophistication of social cognition, and how big a part of human intelligence it is. Previously, I tried to fix that state of affairs by publishing research, and then by starting a company. Now I write about it here. The more people who understand it, the better.
