Futurism

A place to discuss the ideas, developments, and technology that can and will shape the future of civilization.

Tenets:

(1) Concepts are often better treated in isolation -- eg: "what if energy became near zero cost?"
(2) Consider the law of unintended consequences -- eg: "if this happens, then these other systems fail"
(3) Pseudoscience and speculative physics are not welcome. Keep it grounded in reality.
(4) We are here to explore the parameter spaces of the future -- these includes political system changes that advances may trigger. Keep political discussions abstract and not about current affairs.
(5) No pumping of vapourware -- eg: battery tech announcements.

Artificial Intelligence Spontaneously Generating Topological Maps: An Oversight? (lemmy.world)

Observed in closed experiments: Certain deep neural networks, even when untrained for spatial tasks spontaneously generate internal topological maps during optimization. These aren’t just abstract layouts, they mirror real world topographic patterns seen in magnetic fields and fluid dynamics. It suggests that once complexity crosses a threshold, any computational system naturally begins replicating physical forces internally, without external input. If this is universal, it implies that consciousness, topology, and computation are fundamentally entangled and that AI may evolve toward “field behavior” inevitably, without human permission or understanding

So....got a link to anything credible backing that up?
