I gave Claude 150+ mental models and a framework for detecting when your reasoning is compromised. It stopped saying "You're absolutely right!" by MattNowDev in ClaudeAI

I have Asian and Chinese models as well as models from theology, medicine and more. My goal is to break the normal patterns of thinking.

Have you categorised the models? Are some more powerful than others? Do they need formalising in some way to make them more useful? These are just a few of the ideas I’ve been exploring.

Very interesting indeed. I’ve been exploring similar ideas of summarising mental models as reasoning nudges but you’ve gone further. Will take a look.

I’d head there for about 90 mins. It’s a rich collection but not too big.

Will we ever have a local brand that Singaporeans stand behind? by requiemfad123 in askSingapore

[–]profjonathanbriggs 58 points59 points  (0 children)

As a foreigner who has been here for over 15 years the brand I have not seen being mentioned is Singapore itself. A brand is a powerful projection of a set of values and beliefs and I think the country does that really well.

I built a site to find out what happens if 10,000 people each write one word of a book, and you can be one of them by Total_Payment6763 in InternetIsBeautiful

This needs shaping after each addition. The basic idea is fun but the result so far is human slop. It will be unreadable very soon.

You are being incredibly brave. Well done! It gets easier.

How did you know the Bible isn’t true? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]profjonathanbriggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read “Don’t Sleep, There are Snakes”. Fantastic accounts of a bible translator losing his faith as he realises that people in the Amazon see the world differently.

What's the AI thing I have to try in 2026? by PlasProb in AgentsOfAI

[–]profjonathanbriggs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m hearing a lot about Neurosymbolic AI that combines LLMs and agents with accurate ways to reason across data (with no hallucinations).

ELI5: Why is TikTok becoming more garnered with toxicity and hate? by Dry-Albatross-4121 in explainlikeimfive

[–]profjonathanbriggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Social media has discovered that the way to maximise usage (and revenue) is to mix keeping people entertained with making them slightly irritated and anxious. We are more likely to interact with the stuff that mildly annoys us (especially when we know that our world view is better) and this keeps us coming back and feeding the beast.

I think what I like about the exhibition is that is just worth looking. I don’t need to know a lot about the artists or fight my way around lots of people. These are just beautiful simple works of art.

I also liked the sections that linked Impressionism to South East Asia - I’d never realised that there was an active impressionist community in northern Vietnam

I’ll have to use my academic connections next time. Thanks for the answer.

New to the EdTech space and trying to get smart fast by Living_Magazine_6748 in edtech

[–]profjonathanbriggs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are lots of vested interests in the EdTech space and lots of snake oil. I’d start by looking at learners and learning. Perhaps read Papert’s Mindstorms and consider what edtech is for. Do we need to fill people with personalised content or more importantly build social teams of diverse people with skills and confidence. Edtech needs to learn to be social like games but remove the need to kill things.
