I read the title, saw the domain, and didn't read it.

#4The article is too long for the idea it tries to convey. I like to read to broaden my mind, not for readings sake.

#6Clickbait article.
It is noteworthy that Friston has, as of November 2018, neither (1) formalised free energy minimisation (FIM) with sufficient precision that it goes beyond a vague research heuristic, that can (and is) adapted in ad-hoc ways; nor (2) come up with sufficient empirical evidence for his claim that FIM is how human or animal brains works -- despite the recent revolution in our ability to measure live neurons, and despite having been asked (in private) by working neuro-scientist, including at his university.

#8Blog post about understanding Fristons ideas, also consider the amount of reseacher comments it has provoked: http://slatestarcodex.com/2018/03/04/god-help-us-lets-try-to...

#9This is a brilliant portrait of Karl Friston. Thanks for sharing!

#10By no means will I be ever able to grasp Friston's theory, but the free energy minimisation vaguely reminds me of Curiosity-driven reinforcement learning. Can anyone with more understanding than me confirm or deny this apparent resemblance?
