The post explores the concept of ontological mismatches and proposes a type signature for measuring the difference between ontologies. It suggests that ontologies could be viewed as labelled partitions or topologies of an ambient thingspace, aiming to define a metric for comparing them.
The chart will appear after repeat observations. The current metric comes from the source.

This work provides a theoretical framework for understanding and measuring differences between ontologies, which could be useful in areas like knowledge representation and artificial intelligence.
The article estimates the number of AI agents operating continuously without human intervention, using various methods including token usage and company reports. It suggests there are approximately 300k-1M agent loops running at any moment, with 5000-25,000 in a 24h+ unattended state. Specific companies like Anthropic and OpenAI provide their own figures, with estimates ranging from 2,000-4,500 and 150-2,500 respectively. The text also compares AI token usage to human speech and inner monologue, suggesting machines are already surpassing human verbal output.
4 days agoLessWrongThe text discusses the importance of paying attention to experiences and how personal preferences and perspectives shape what we find meaningful. It highlights the challenge of relying on others' opinions about what to focus on, as individual 'umwelt' (perceptual worlds) differ, and emphasizes the value of understanding one's own preferences to discover unique sources of delight. The author references C.S. Lewis's idea of an intangible connection between beloved books and experiences that others may not perceive.
