A newsletter covering two main stories: the practical engineering challenges of solar geoengineering, and new research into interoception and its health implications. Also includes news of SpaceX's valuation surpassing Amazon.
This newsletter covers two major tech stories: a biotech company's first human trial of 'reprogramming' cells to reverse aging, and the growing field of interoception research. It also notes SpaceX's record-breaking IPO.
An explainer on interoception, the hidden sense of internal body signals, and how decoding these signals could transform treatments for conditions like obesity and anxiety.
This paper proposes a minimal architecture for body-grounded perspective formation in artificial agents, extending prior work with an interoceptive viability signal and conative alignment mechanism to operationalize machine subjectivity from a phenomenological perspective.
Developer created Engram, an open-source cognitive architecture featuring a functional interoceptive system for AI agents that implements real-time stress detection and adaptive behavioral modulation for self-correction, then explored whether the agent can report experiencing anxiety.
